Weight saving in airliners
So true, those comments about save a pound and cost a hundredweight...
Been saying for decades that so much booze and pop being carried about the planet unused is more than foolish, its criminal when effectively its responsible for major incidents due over zealous weight saving....
I've seen a 5/32" instead of a 3/16" shear pin cause a fatal in a light aircraft, saved all of another spoonful of cornflakes at breakfast for the pilot but was in a critical position..
