Engine

An Italian bomber Savoia-Marchetti S.79 flying in front at a thick layer of cumulonimbus, a meteorological situation very severe also for the modern jet aircrafts. Rightly the S.79 flying very outside of this huge clouds within of that occur nearly the wholeness of meteorological phenomena with high risk for the structure of an aircraft (well-proved by some serious accidents). Between a cumulonimbus and other it is possible in to run in down draft bigger to same natural diving velocity of aircraft. In the modern aircraft on display of the weather radar a warning (light red) signal to pilots in good time the presence along the route of this very dangerous clouds. Victor Sierra
