Curious, what percentage of the JBLU Airbus fleet has brake fans? At NK, maybe 5% at this point. Always an issue in LAS in the summer time.

Not a bus driver here….is that a big performance penalty? Or if a motor blows on departure is the procedure to say screw it and stow the gear or just leave it out. I’d have to imagine it is a big penalty to leave it out and trying to use one motor to climb and drag the gear.

Where does the motor oil go in a Tesla? And why are EVs called EVs and not motor vehicles? Perhaps because motor vehicles are cars with any form of motor, ie electric or ice.
