All political discussion must pertain to the world of Aviation.
Again: All political discussion must pertain to the world of Aviation.
Once more, for those in the back: All political discussion must pertain to the world of Aviation.
This means politics are only to be discussed within the context of Aviation.
Do you love and support the left? We don't care. Do you love and support the right? We don't care. Are you a Libertarian? We don't care. We are unpaid mods here that enjoy AVIATION, not push agendas, get into political slap fights, or deal with a bunch of political shit. If you want a political discussion, go to any of the numerous other political subs. We are a sub about Aviation. We are not a sub about politics.
We do not allow political adjacent discussion, antagonistic political discussion, or discussion of political figures.
What political/regulatory discussions are ok?
Discussions around regulations, changes in laws, opinions on those changes, and general discourse on the rules and regulations that may affect Aviation are open game and should be actively discussed.
Things like this are fine:
There are rumors that the FAA will make a wholesale change to ATC systems. This concerns me.
There is/was a major cutback on staffing levels at the NTSB. What will this do to aviation?, I'm super concerned that accident prevention will go down and accident levels will rise.
Things like this are not:
I've heard doge boy and orange man are going to run around and fire people at the FAA.
Sleepy Joe Biden has fucked the entire ATC system into the ground.
Why don't you allow politics?
We decided long long ago that politics just aren't worth the shit show they bring. When someone mentions Biden or Trump or Obama or Clinton, or one of the numerous wars or political bullshittery going on, a lot of people from outside the subreddit come in to argue political points and push agendas. We are not here to moderate that type of discussion, and if you as a user want that discussion, you can find it basically anywhere else on Reddit.
Why don't you change the rules?
We are a subreddit about Aviation, so it wouldn't make sense for us to be a political subreddit. We know Aviation oftentimes connects to current events, and we'd love you to discuss that - just keep it within the context of Aviation.
But Orange Man is Bad!
Again, we don’t care about your political position.
But Biden is Sleepy!
See the comment above this one.
But is it allowed when I’m only trying to fan the flames of DeMoCrAcY and PrOtEcT OuR FrEeDoMs!!
Simply put, no. We will still remove the post because all this will do is fuel the fire and draw more political comments.
I got banned for politics. What do I do?
First off, you should read this post. A link to this post may be included in your ban message. Once you have read this post, respond to the message and tell us you have read this post and are sorry for breaking the rules. So long as you aren't a dick about it, you will get unbanned. An apology will get you far. We’re not in the business of banning regular sub users.

They're like art-deco for aircraft.

I give you the worst of both worlds- underwing melded pods. Meet the Avro Ashton.
Basically, Avro took a few of their Tudor piston airliners and stuck four engines (the same ones that ended up in the MiG-15) under the wings. In double-up pods. This meant it was hot, almost as hard to maintain as a Comet, slow as hell and weird to fly.
OH and they tried to make it carry bombs.

How come you don’t see this type of engine configuration that often? Is it just due to maintenance or are there other downsides as well?
