It's safer than you think. It's very rare that anything ever happen during flight. If it wasn't safe, the FAA wouldn't allow you to fly on it.
Why tooling hole in aircraft structural parts is required?
An aircraft is built by attaching many parts together. The construction of each part takes place individually, usually in lathes, milling machines, presses, etc. For the part to be accurately located inside these machines -while it is taking shape and basically being produced- it needs holes to hold it in place.
While these holes can sometimes have an active function when the part is being installed or operated, this is usually not the case. A structural engineer should analyze every part so that the tooling holes -and its overall shape and characteristics- do not present a problem.
Airplane wings are placed at the center of balance for the fuselage (or passenger compartment) and the tail flight controls are placed to help rotate the airplane around the center of balance. The wings are made so that air passes over the top of the wing more quickly than it passes over the bottom meaning you have less pressure on top of the wings and this creates lift. Movable flight controls then allow the pilot to control the air flow over these surfaces. This gives the pilot the ability to control the entire aircraft. Then the most important ingredient is POWER. With enough power anything will fly and if you can sustain that power you can keep it flying and control it. Pick up a rock and throw it and it is technically "flying". If you could keep that power on the rock and control it, you could fly it. That's the reason rockets or missles fly. Sustained power. good question... I hope this helps you understand flight.
How fast does the Boeing 767 flies at top speed?
The maximum crusie speed for a Boeing 767 is Mach 0.86
Is Boeing more popular than Airbus?
Yes, the boeing 737 is the most popular aircraft on the planet, with 1 million 737 taking off and landing every day.
AnswerIt depends on how you define "popular". In terms of largest number of sales of all time then the above answer is correct. However, if you mean "most popular now", then Airbus is the more popular, as shown conclusively by the following sales figures.|2011 orders: Boeing - 428, Airbus - 1231 (almost 3 times more than Boeing)
|2010 orders: Boeing - 530, Airbus - 574
|2009 orders: Boeing - 142, Airbus - 271
|2008 orders: Boeing - 662, Airbus - 777
Airbus clearly has more sales so at the moment, Airbus is more popular than Boeing, rather than the other way around.
How does the 747 Boeing lift off the graound?
It takes off by...
1)The pilot adding full flaps
2)The pilot adding full power
3)The pilot pulling bake on the stick and increasing lift.
Why are aircraft pushed back for take off?
Aircraft are not pushed back for take off, they are pushed back from their bay onto the taxiway.
This is required, either because they are facing a stand, or their bay is downhill from the taxiway and they need a "little" help.
Some aircraft - C-17 - C-130 do not need this as they have their own "reverse".
What is the difference between an Airbus and a Boeing?
Boeing and Airbus are the biggest Aeroplane manufacturing companies in the world.
Boeing is a US based company and Airbus is a European based company.

What is the worlds smallest passenger plane?
The worlds smallest passenger plane is probably a piper jet
What is the cargo capacity of a passenger 747 in kg?
Maximum hold luggage would depend on the airline, the route and the class of ticket purchase.
What is the difference between high bypass and low bypass turbofan?
The difference between the low and high bypass turbofans is simply in the amount of air which goes into the engine versus the remainder that goes around (bypasses) the engine.
In high bypass engines ( an engine on any large commercial jet) only 20% around 20% of air goes into the engine with 80% bypassing it. (The 80% generates most of the engine thrust)
In low bypass engines, this ratio is much lower
