KLM plane fllying over the beach to land, HEADS UP!
Tourists are flocking to a beach directly under the flight path of jumbo jets to feel the impressive force of their jet stream as they pass just 20 metres over head. The Boeing 747s blow sand into the faces of avid plane spotters who gather at cafes near Princess Juliana International Airport on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin. They sit waiting for the planes to approach before dashing to the road and beach to feel the 300-tonne aircrafts blast past at about 150 miles per hour. Many tourists duck as they realise just how close the deafening planes are passing above them. Planes are forced to pass just 20 metres above the beach as they come into land on the shortest runway in the world that 747s regularly use
Planes landing at Princess Juliana International Airport on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, France - Jan 2010
PLANE STUPID!
Tourists are flocking to a beach directly under the flight path of jumbos to feel the impressive force of their jet stream as they pass just 20 yards overhead.
The Boeing 747s fly so low they blow sand into the faces of avid plane spotters who gather at cafes and sit waiting for the planes.
When an aircraft approaches they dash to the beach to feel the 300-ton aircraft blast past at over 150 miles per hour.
Many tourists duck as they realise just how close the deafening planes are passing above them.
Planes - like the KLM jet pictured - are forced to pass just 20 yards above the beach as they come into land on the shortest runway in the world that 747s regularly use.
They have to approach low to land as soon as possible and use the full length of the 1.3 mile runway at Princess Juliana International Airport on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin.

FEATURE - Airbus enthüllt revolutionäres 'Blended Wing'-Flugzeugdesign
Aircraft giant Airbus has revealed a new advanced wing design which it claims could cut carbon emissions by 20 per cent.
The aircraft manufacturer rolled out a model of the small-scale, remote-controlled aircraft demonstrator it's been using to test the design at the Singapore Air Show 2020 on Tuesday (11Feb20).
The "blended wing body" demonstrator called Maveric - which stands for Model Aircraft for Validation and Experimentation of Robust Innovative Controls - measures two meters long and 3.2 meters wide.
Testing has reportedly been underway since June 2019 but the project, which launched in 2017, was kept under wraps until this month.
The concept of a 'blended wing body' design has been around since the 1940s and led to the U.S. B-2 bomber, as well as the X-48 research project between Boeing and NASA a decade ago.
Such aircraft are complex to control but produce less aerodynamic drag, making them more efficient to fly.
Planemakers are revisiting such designs as the passenger jet industry tries to commit to more environmentally friendly aircraft.
"We believe it is high time now to push this technology further and study what it brings to us,' Jean-Brice Dumont, executive vice-president of engineering at Airbus, told reporters.
"We need these disruptive technologies to meet our environmental challenge. It is the next generation of aircraft; we are studying an option."
He said it was too early to say whether such shapes could contribute to the next generation of medium-haul planes, expected in the 2030s.
The “blended wing body” configuration also opens up new possibilities for propulsion systems type and integration, as well as a versatile cabin for a totally new on-board passenger experience.

Aerial views of Iceland taken from a Cessna light airplane - Feb 2012

Iceland Aerial Shots Are Plane Beautiful
With their strange coloured surfaces and unusual landscapes, these stunning photographs look like they were taken on an alien planet.
But the incredible shots were actually captured aboard a Cessna light aircraft flying over Iceland.
The beautiful images reveal some of the country's most incredible scenery, ranging from explosive volcanoes to colossal mountains.
In one photograph, a crowd of people appear like ants in a bath of milk as they take a dip in a lagoon.
Another shot appears to show a tree, but is actually a river running into several different streams.
Photographer Sandro Santioli racked up 70 hours of flight time as he took the extraordinary images while holding his camera out the window of the aircraft.
He said: "I had the idea while shooting Iceland from ground level.
"Aerial shots always interested me, always charmed me. From ground level these landscapes are awesome and stunning, but seeing all of them from above is such a feast for the eyes.
"In particular I enjoy different elements, like seas, lakes, mountains, and volcanoes, being at my disposal to recreate a small world.
"There were many challenges, the first was whether I was able to endure the stress of flying in a tiny, vibrating aircraft that would dip suddenly on hitting the air currents.
"All this was made worse by the fact that the windows had to be kept open for the majority of the flight.
"The air rushing into the cabin was extremely cold, particularly when approaching and flying over glaciers.
"The cold finds a way to penetrate all the way to your bones regardless of how many layers you happen to be wearing at the time.
"Meanwhile, your hands become so numb that you can barely move them. All this happens while you stomach is doing twists and turns...

CHINA-NANCHANG-HONGDU-AVIATION (CN)
(110505) -- NANCHANG, May 5, 2011 (Xinhua) -- The aluminum-lithium alloy fore part of the airframe of C919 jumbo jet is seen in Hongdu Aviation Industry Group in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi province, April 26, 2011.
On Aug. 1, 1927, Communist-led armed forces held an uprising in Nanchang City, which marks the birth of the armed forces of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and has been recorded as a great event in China's revolutionary history.
Nanchang, one of the "red cradles" of CPC, is also an industrial base in east China and has made contribution to China's development and modernization, especially the aviation industry.
Hongdu Aviation Industry Group, a division of the China Aviation Industry Corp (AVIC), is a main base for research and manufacturing of trainers, UAV, general airplanes and missiles, and also a main base for export of aviation products. Founded in 1951, Hongdu made the first plane of People's Republic of China in July 1954. Up to now, Hongdu has developed and manufactured over 5,000 aircrafts, more than 500 of which were exported.
K8 trainer and L15 trainer, developed and manufactured by Hongdu, are among the outstanding trainer planes in China's aviation. K8 trainer is designed in compliance with the international criteria and developed in a form of international cooperation, is primarily used for pilot's basic training and advanced training. L15, a new generation two-engine supersonic advanced trainer with typical characteristics of third generation fighters, can be used for advanced training and strategic pilot drills.
Hondu also undertakes the construction of the fore part of the airframe of C919 jumbo jet, China's self-developed jumbo jet. C919, is scheduled to take off in 2014 after being rolled off the assemble line between the end of 2013 and the first half of 2014.

KLM plane fllying over the beach to land, HEADS UP!
Tourists are flocking to a beach directly under the flight path of jumbo jets to feel the impressive force of their jet stream as they pass just 20 metres over head. The Boeing 747s blow sand into the faces of avid plane spotters who gather at cafes near Princess Juliana International Airport on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin. They sit waiting for the planes to approach before dashing to the road and beach to feel the 300-tonne aircrafts blast past at about 150 miles per hour. Many tourists duck as they realise just how close the deafening planes are passing above them. Planes are forced to pass just 20 metres above the beach as they come into land on the shortest runway in the world that 747s regularly use

PLANE STUPID!
Tourists are flocking to a beach directly under the flight path of jumbos to feel the impressive force of their jet stream as they pass just 20 yards overhead.
The Boeing 747s fly so low they blow sand into the faces of avid plane spotters who gather at cafes and sit waiting for the planes.
When an aircraft approaches they dash to the beach to feel the 300-ton aircraft blast past at over 150 miles per hour.
Many tourists duck as they realise just how close the deafening planes are passing above them.
Planes - like the KLM jet pictured - are forced to pass just 20 yards above the beach as they come into land on the shortest runway in the world that 747s regularly use.
They have to approach low to land as soon as possible and use the full length of the 1.3 mile runway at Princess Juliana International Airport on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin.
