There’s much more diversity than the muffler theory fits.
They also have portholes and watertight doors, suggesting that they’re more meant to look like they’re made from ship salvage.
But first and foremost, they’re meant to look cartoonish and funny.
They’re not though. I think someone’s brain associated side muffler mounts with a random outlet pipe halfway down.
On its side, it’s more similar to some rudimentary boilers. But eeally, it’s just random scrap metal put together to represent resourcefulness from human pollution with little further thought from the artist.
Airplane mufflers have random outlet pipes on the side like that. It’s for cabin heat.
No shit; most single-engine piston planes take heat for the cabin (and carburetor heat) from a shroud wrapped around the muffler. Which is why those little pill-in-a-card carbon monoxide detectors are common in pilot supply catalogs like Sporty’s, the thin steel wall that separates cabin air from raw exhaust gases is in a place that is damn near impossible to fully inspect.
Twin engine piston planes are even dumber. It is impractical to run an air duct all the way from the nacelle to the fuselage, so instead they put a gas heater in the nose. Yeah. A heater. That burns leaded aviation gasoline. For cabin heat. They splode sometimes.

That’s how the heater of a Cessna Skyhawk made TODAY works. It’s also a lot more common to find an airplane that has been in service for 50 years.

The 172 was in production from the mid 1950’s to 1986, and then they resumed production in 1996 to the present day. It is my understanding that the modern Skyhawk is technically a different aircraft, different type certificate and few interchangeable parts, but it’s still the Toyota Corolla of airplanes.
How many people never realized that Bikini bottom is below the Bikini Atoll, site of early atomic bomb testing.
Gonna be that guy (hopefully the educational and not the annoying one though): the correct phrase is “make do”.
Damn, you were right on queue with that correction. OP should of picked up a dictionary, huh?
Pray tell, where is “should of” in the dictionary?
Irregardless, I think their making a joke
Your right
“Should” is in the S section (specifically the “sho” section).
“Of” is in the O section (specifically the “of” section, right at the start of it).
Or if you meant both together, dictionaries don’t work like that.
It’s a fucking joke, mate.
So you are saying that polluting the ocean is good because it gives fish a home?
Sometimes junk is used to serve as artificial reefs. It’s pretty cool.
Sweet Tank!
Now give them some fighter jets!
The fate of Atlantis II: Atlantis strikes back.
Yeah, time’s definitely due for a new generation of jets.
The US navy just dropped two this year.
We sunk a whole damned aircraft carrier of the coast, and fought for the privilege! I believe it’s one of the largest artificial reefs in the world.
Are they tho?
Shouldn’t Bikini Bottom have a ton more car batteries?
This explains why my car didn’t work. I used a pineapple and rock.
Where are the car batteries I’ve been throwing out for my grandma?
*make dew
Ftfy
“make do,” right?
Correct.
