OK, Ottawa was crushed down by the snowfall of Feb. 16, that poured 51.2cm of pure white garbage. (Maybe it wasn’t that bad, cause we got to skip school!) Even though it snowed a lot, did the planes takeoff and land? I vote yes! There could have been delays and cancellations, but that’s because of the lazy workers at the airport who couldn’t manage to clean the snow. But the planes would have surely been able to fly! Why? Take a look at these videos!:

If it can survive the Canadian cold, it can fly practically anywhere in the world, right?![]()
And remember it was -40C? Did your car start fine? Was your garage stuck and frozen? Then do you think planes can run fine in extreme cold? I vote yes! Why? Cause I’m a genius! Jk! Just figure it out yourself:
Yes, it really does work!
Now finally, here are some more extreme flight tests:
How awesome was that! GE, as well as Rolls-Royce operates extreme bad-boy
testing stuff for the passengers’ safety. Now that we know that the plane’s fuselage and engines are safe what more test do they perform???????
Ok. I had enough. When is Boeing or Airbus ever going to get a life? Testing how well the plane performs in crosswinds is going to take them so much time! I mean, it’s good for the passengers, since now we know that even during turbulent weather, the plane is going to safely land on the ground instead of plummeting into the ground and exploding. If engineers at Boeing or Airbus decided to get a life and not waste time doing boring flight tests every day, it would be the second option you would get.
Finally, some stall testing:
The stall testing is not the last tests airplanes go through. There are tens and hundreds of more testing an aircraft you fly on goes through before YOU fly on it, like fire tests, ultimate rejected takeoff test, engine failure test, etc. So I conclude that extreme flight tests are an essential role to the safety of an aircraft and the flight tests are conducted as they should be!
