GE Jet Engine for Jumbos


Here is a bare all look at the GE engine displayed at the Paris Air Show, that powers the jumbos we fly around the world. Amazingly complex contraption I would say.

Airbus A380 witnessed



I was at the Paris Air Show a few days back at the Le Bourget Airport in ....well Paris and witnessed the A380 in flight. It is one majestic bird. Here are a few pictures I took with my HTC Wizard aka Cingular 8125.

Paris is smoking


Just been to Paris and I was surprised by the number of smokers in the city. The pic above is of Gare Du Nord, the main Train Station in Paris and it reminds me of Pahar Ganj somehow. The restaurants were foggy, hotel rooms smelt like ashtrays despite labeled 'non-smoking' rooms. The pantry car in the train from Paris to Hamburg was smoke filled, the metro stations were full of smokers. I was overwhelmed by the smoking Paris. On my walk to the Eiffel Tower from my hotel room, all I could see was cigarette butts on the pavement. God. Parisians, quit smoking so much.

What felt nice was that there were a lot of scooters and motorcycles (totally missing in the US) and the people were all mostly slim and well kept. They looked good in general, compared to an average red neck(I lived in red neck country, so don't let's argue about it). The metros were surprisingly not climate controlled and it was a sweaty experience given the formal attire we had to adorn for the strings of meetings scheduled at the AirShow.

Overall a 7+ on a 10 Paris. Quit smoking if you want to improve your rating. ;)

World's fastest road car!! Yes it's the Acabion


The Acabion does 600 KMPH. For efficiency it does 175 KMPH at 44 KM/Liter of Petrol/Gas. Now that is amazing is it not. This concept car has everyone talking.

Powered by turbocharged 1.3-litre Suzuki motorcycle engine tuned to a whopping 690bhp, the GTBO 70 is reckoned to go from rest to 448 KMPH in under 20 seconds. Wow! German Engineering.
