It stays closed and locks you in while the battery ignites.

They need to join forces and make the Cyberplane!

The Boeing Tesla Cyberplane could be a revolution in aviation:

  • First aircraft to use afterburners to overcome lack of aerodynamics
  • Heavy and yet strangely flimsy construction
  • Cell phones and radar can ignite the battery in flight
  • Fuel efficiency can be throttled mid air by shedding parts

Relevant comic?

Remember Elon Musk in Iron Man 2? Phony Stark pitching an electric plane to Tony who says basically, "it's your idea but we'll make it work."

On your first point, the F4 Phantom (aka "the triumph of thrust over aerodynamics") would like a word.

“A ‘tragedy’ struck today as the Boeing-Tesla Air Force One and Air Force Two simultaneously rerouted to crash into the headquarters of Boeing and Tesla. The planes were running on Tesla ‘full self flying’ and staffed entirely with Tesla robots piloted remotely by human operators on the ground, so when they exploded only the president, vice president, and their advisors and guests (including Tesla CEO Elon Musk) were killed.”

Praying won't help. Unless...

Please proceed lol

Lmao if a Boeing plane made from scrap parts ends up being the end of Trump it would be really really funny.

They're intentionally blocking the whistleblower suits against Boeing right now because they have been using scrap parts in their planes for decades in order to meet rushed delivery deadlines.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hope Trump is on that new plane by next year please lord

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Next year? I bet Boeing can push that thing out in 3 months if they really want to AND get executive bonuses for being early.

I support this. And while we're at it, why not give them a cybersubmarine too?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

How about we tell the cheeto that the first person to touch the wreck of the Titanic gets dibs over all the priceless bottles of champagne, and the secret gold. Plus, international bragging rights. But you have to physically touch it to count, per maritime law. That's why James Cameron and Oceangate were trying to get down there.

Tell him Elon can probably build him a sub he can stick his arm out of. And once it's claimed, it's possible to raise and restore it, and he can rename it the Trumptanic. The largest and most luxurious liner in the world. Imagine how it would look pulling into harbor in North Korea.

oh. this is going to end well.

Very, very well.

cue Kaylee saying "Don't fly anything made by Boeing, they fall right out of the sky."

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can we all talk of the true tragedy which is the onion going out of business due to real articles being unbelievable satire.

This is like Tom (from Jerry) working together with the Coyote (from road runner) to try and get air force one replacements available.

To be clear: musk has nearly no engineering knowledge, whatsoever. He was fired for incompetence and literally all his idea are laughably stupid. At best he's a scammer who got lucky.

Boeing is a company that allowed greed to fuck it into the ground, literally, multiple times, killing hundreds for which they still haven't been held responsible.

Having said all that, please, by all means, I'd love to see the result of this freakshow marriage

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Flying this administration around on planes “rushed” by Boeing sounds like it might be our best chance at deposing these fucktards…

“Wings fall off” switch.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (6 children)

As someone that builds the wings, I can whoele heartedly tell you that there probably isn't a button that makes the wings fall off.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How about a dead man's switch if the subscription isn't renewed?

"Defence". They trust "defence"/planes to Elon Musk, to Russia's puppet. Oh shit... I think Boeing airplanes' security will decrease lol.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It'd be a shame if there was a critical malfunction in flight.

Lol they're just gonna blame "ANTIFA" and vance declares martial law

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

I wonder what will happen. Will the doors fly off, or will it catch fire by itself. Hopefully both. And soon.

If he wanted Trump to fly savely and comfortably, he would ask Airbus to provide a new Airforce One.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but then he wouldn't be able to put tariffs in place against the EU

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Boeing: Oh, you want a plane now? No problem. We thought you wanted one that actually flew

No no, this is actually perfect timing. Yes Boeing, please provide all the parts. Hell, rebuild the whole plane while you're at it as well please.

I thought he wanted to reduce spending. This seems like a very expensive endeavor.

Where did you think the money "saved" was gonna go?

Boing can save a lot of money by eliminating quality control, safety procedures and firing all the expensive and experienced workers, and staff the operation by minimum wage workers.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

I support this.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Brb, running to the store to buy popcorn.

Make the new Air Force One the fabled and promised point to point Starship+Booster that's gonna make all passenger aviation obsolete any minute now.

Please.

Please Ms Shotwell, you promised you'd be able to fully and safely refurb an ICBM in 2 hrs, please!
