Re: Pelosi Flight to Taiwan Most Tracked Flight Ever

Sorry this might be off topic but how does the C40 differ from the 737, any military modifications, protections?

Looking from an American point of view, it would be most logical, especially to help Boeing out in their time of need. Especially taken into account that this would be a political decision and the A330, uhhh LMXT, is viewed as a foreign product. I see a 10% chance of winning for Airbus, uuuhhh Lock...

Some interesting movements on Boeing's order book in September that could have something to do with a possible launch of the 777X next month. For the people who don't know, they have to recognize some accounting standards for which they have to list the number of outstanding orders which are not fu...

Re: Airbus and Boeing 2021 deliveries

I mean last year, they delivered 72, 64 and 89 (225 in total) in the last 3 months. We all know Airbus likes to do a fifth quarter. If they at least redo the same this year (which they always do), we would be at around 650 deliveries. Boeing will also deliver a 5th qtr once the 787 delivery is appr...

Re: Boeing tipped to launch 777X freighter at Dubai Air Show

I think making the 777XF longer than the 778 is a mistake. They will sacrifice too much in total payload weight. They don't need more volume, they need more weight capacity. And of course it would likely kill the passenger variant. I think they have done necessary consultation with interested parti...

Re: Emirates: 777X further delayed until 2022, considering to convert more orders to 787

I have a question about the 787-9 order. Why did Emirates order the 787-9 when they already have the A350-900? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to keep the fleet as simple as possible by increasing the orders for A350-900 instead of ordering 787-9? Why would they add an extra aircraft type to the fle...

Re: AM Grows 787 Fleet

As long as the 787 are at the right price it will be foolish for DL not accepting AM buying them. After the 737max issue it's not like BA does not know how to design and manufacture planes.
