This will likely happen except for the correct specs part. Sure, it will be manufactured to fit, but it likely won’t be able to be made to the same standard as the official Boeing part.
The impact of this could be absolutely nothing, or maybe Aeroflot planes just end up on runway excursions more often. It could also lead to catastrophic failure and separation of the landing gear bogie causing all sorts of additional trouble.
- saiya-jin 3y agoAeroflot was widely regarded as worst international airline (on par with say Nepal airlines but for very different reasons) way before any invasion started. Typical russian mentality and alcoholism is simply not a good match to highly structured and regulated environment of very complex machinery. Everybody I know tried hard when travelling from Europe to Asia to avoid using them, even when they were often the cheapest.
- genocidicbunny 3y agoThere's a reason that passengers on Aeroflot used to applaud a successful landing.
- foverzar 3y agoIt's not just "passengers on Aeroflot". It's an old airtravel tradition that lots of people find to be quite wholesome. Do you say a polite "thank you" to a cashier? Well that's a similar thing - thanking aircrew for their labour. https://enroute.aircanada.com/en/aviation/clapping-when-plane-lands/ https://enroute.aircanada.com/en/aviation/clapping-when-plan... https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/68259/when-and-why-do-people-clap-applaud-after-a-plane-lands https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/68259/when-and-wh... https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/kiwi-traveller/131118567/flight-etiquette-should-you-clap-when-your-plane-lands https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/kiwi-traveller/131118567/flig... https://www.skytough.com/post/why-do-people-clap-when-the-plane-lands https://www.skytough.com/post/why-do-people-clap-when-the-pl... https://executiveflyers.com/why-do-people-clap-when-the-plane-lands/ https://executiveflyers.com/why-do-people-clap-when-the-plan...
