The exhaust coming out of aircraft engines looks pretty dangerous, generating huge amounts of thrust and pushing back tons of hot air. As seen from the aircrafts tail, the vortex rotates in the anti-clockwise direction on the right wingtip and the clockwise direction on the left wingtip. Whats Happening Inside the Vortex?

Unlike the A320neo, this aircraft is configured with IFE screen entertainment for every seat and lie-flat bed for the business class cabin and this product is familar to me as I had experienced it before with Copa Airlines and that flight was also a long flight for a narrow-body, about 23 minutes longer than this flight (5 hours 37 mins).

The cabin crew were great as they came around many times during the flight to serve water and of course the 2 meals we received. Reverse thrust was deployed (only on the 2nd and 3rd engine) to slow the aircraft down to taxi speed. It is just annoying that some can't sit properly or be considerate towards others.

There are a number of tail strike incidents caused by the take-off weight being logged as lower than it actually was. The description of the event clearly represents what was understood at the time: During the takeoff from RWY35L, the aircraft suffered a tail strike after the rotation. This transition of lifting off is called rotation.

The aircraft was powered by three General Electric CF6 turbofan engines, with one mounted under each wing and a third located above the rear fuselage in the base of the tail. On scanning the engine instruments, it quickly became apparent that the number two tail-mounted engine had failed. The plane entered a descending right-hand turn.

Since these aircraft were already installed with Aeroflot's cabin interior and configuration, the Indian airline decided to make some minor changes and that also means the airline didn't have to wait long to take delivery of the 6 aircraft. With a light load in this cabin, I went to explore some of the seats.
