Airbus Noises
Hi. Whilst I fly my own (Arrow) I have the pleasure of letting BA do the flying to Edinburgh every week.
Whilst Boeings are virtually silent Airbus aircraft always seem to
(a) have some sort of pump? situated around the middle of the aircraft. This seems to make a noise like an old mini with a failing battery that will not start! Does anyone know what it is? Just came in today on an Air France plane, and it did it as well - so it is not a BA thing!
(b) Whist taxiing airbusses seem to thump and clank. Again it seems to be all of them, but some are worse than others! It sounds like to gear is going to fall off.
Any explanations would be gratefully received!
Thanks
