@ymb1 What plane is that first image above from? Looks like an airbus. How do the lines work? Seems like you'd need something to line them up with like the little colored balls
@TomMcW first one is MD-11, each mark is two lines, each pilot looks at the one on the opposite side, and adjusts seat until the empty space between the lines matches the end of the glareshield panel, same principle of parallax, just cheaper to use paint I guess :D
@TomMcW can you spot the two lines right of the reg plate?
this one in co-pilot side's to be used by the pilot, he'll adjust seat until lines almost disappear from view, and aligned with the vertical line in the panel as it goes from grey to black
@ymb1 I also kinda dig the Frontier livery with the animals. They had matching TV ads where the animals talked to each other. Kinda silly, but I liked it
@TomMcW and then there's the Pepsi Concorde, I read it couldn't go to Mach 2 because of the heat not reflecting good enough as the white
Pepsi: speed limit your Concorde
They received approval to paint the fuselage in blue, but were advised to keep the wings in white (because of the fuel temperature). It was advised to remain at M2.02 for about 20 minutes at most, but there was no restriction under M1.70.
