What Happens To Old Airplanes? 

thought the same xD

Me to MALAYSIA AIRLINE COME!!!! yea what Will you go to ocea he's gone by Ahhhhhh

Very unfortunate that the lives lost in this Malaysian plane were not treated in par with the lives lost in Titanic Ship! Well, nothing can be done as not even a single minute trace of this aircraft was found even after a 3-year search! Otherwise, they would hv made a much bigger charbuster movie on this too!

@@prabhakarkmv4135 titanic is not a plane it's a steamer ship sunk 110 years ago

@@prabhakarkmv4135 several pieces with the correct serial numbers have washed up or been fished out. So you comment is wrong.

Yeah! Some are modifying/converting these planes into cosy homes also! 😃

Plus 500.000$ for the logistics.

you still have to spend $$$ for the plumbing, electric, etc

Screw that, I would buy it, restore it and turn it into my own private Plane! Even scrounging for engines and refurbishing, would still be cheaper than a small private plane!

Ikr

Planes are massive so they could be quite nice after you refurbish it

.. lol, you just explained why you dont own a country :)

@@79Gravity do you want to know what I'm going to use those planes for?

Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this

I'm going to use those planes to make 1000 V2 rockets!

You could buy a bunch of those fighter jets for ur Air Force

Interesting sir, would you like to elaborate?

Elaborate, because as far as I know every airplane is pressurized at altitude.

WE REALLY NEED TO INFORM YOUR SHRINK TO INCREASE YOUR DELUSIONAL MEDS. EVERY COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT IN THE WORLD FLEXS DURING PRESSURIZATION THERE IS NOW WAY AROUND IT. YOUR MOTHER SAID THE ONLY AIRCRAFT YOU EVER WORKED ON WAS A PAPER AIRPLANE IN THE SANITARIUM WERE YOU GREW UP IN . 😂😂😂😂

Got news for you. All fuselages will flex to some extent depending on the actual design. It is all a matter of degree and where the design stress is located on the S-N curve (stress level versus number of cycles the metal is exposed to). Back to Engineering 101. There sre no absolutes.

Many parts are, if they don't think the parts are safe enough for use in new planes, they're scrapped and after a crash the entire plane is scrapped

thats just wrong :) you need the "intire"insides of a plane also, just not the metal.. plane is way more than just metal.. just imagine how well wires run on bare metal.. so :) making a new one is cheaper.. right? immortal is a bad word to even use.. its one of those famous last ones, im "immortal" in my "brand new airplane".. sure you are :D some questions dont need to even be asked.. even if you beg

ye they should sell them to private people :) that would make it more interesting

Planes aren't that small, are they smaller than they look when you are inside it?

they also dont have nearly the same number of flights as regular passenger planes

Anything is possible if You put money in preventative maintenance and regular maintenance! The Aircraft industry is now into planned obsolescence more than ever! So Sad!

All aluminum aircraft have a known maximum number of takeoff and landing cycles, based on the engineers’ calculations of metal fatigue. I think that for a 747 it’s something like 50,000. The highest time airplane of all time is a DC3 with something like 90,000+ flying hours. It’s around 85 years old. So an aircraft can’t be used beyond the original design limits. Military aircraft actually get very little use. Some types can be retired with as little as 5000-10,000 hours, and it may take them decades to accumulate that much time.

Museums do receive certain aircraft once they're retired.

I think you should know the difference in the usage of turbine blades and an aircraft engine blades.

dream big mate, try and save up for some local flights..they cost around 50-100 dollars, one day, that will be pocket change for u ;)

Seems a little disrespectful considering the engineering feet that the aircraft was originally designed for! Like turning a Decommissioned Military ship into a Group Home for Mentally Challenged People!

not really, they are upgraded to modern standards

Probably not, as the volume could result in extremely heavy loads that the bare shell would not have the strength to hold without major problems.

It is eventually. Practically nothing of those aircraft goes to waste.

K..

@Tech Vision thank you. but i pass this time ;)
