Re: Brazilian government looking into 3 way Azul/Gol/LATAM merger

As a Brazilian, I can assure you this is a fever dream. The chance of this even leaving the concept is almost nil and even if it does, CADE will stop this madness before it gets too far. It's true that Brazilian aviation has been going through a crisis. A giant country like Brazil only has 3 major a...

Re: Japan to unveil next generation passenger plane

That's a big bet, but if hydrogen does take off (which is far from sure) they will only have Airbus as competition as other parties are not planning hydrogen planes. Embraer is also planning hydrogen aircraft: https://embraercommercialaviationsustainability.com/concepts/ It remains to be seen wheth...

Re: MU5735 crash investigation report after two years

If one of the pilot committed suicide, the investigation needs to find out why he decided to kill himself. Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc. And the problem is that if there are no traces, notes, witness reports, medical exams or any event that could lead someone to depressi...

Re: Radia WindRunner - new cargo plane for transporting wind turbine blades

The classic solution to a problem that doesn't exist. An airship would make more sense than a giant aircraft. It could land anywhere, completely eliminating the need for road transport and overcoming the operational limitations of a giant aircraft in being able to land only at select airports with s...

Re: Airbus A220 Ramp Up Strained As Workers Now Prepare To Strike

A220 is a very intriguing plane. It's undeniable that it's a sales success, but the irony is that the A220 sucess only means trouble for Airbus so far. Currently the A220 is sold at a loss and its success means a large backlog of orders with significant waiting times for deliveries. Airbus' main obj...

Re: LOT Polish News and Discussion - 2024

Today, is 20th aniversary of the first comercial flight of the Embraer E-jets family taken by LOT Polish Airlines WAW-VIE. I would risk and bet on that E2will be taken as successor for regional planes. Lets play. I think it would be bad for Embraer, after this commemorative flight, for LOT to opt f...

Re: LA800 flight SYD-AKL in flight uncontrolled descent

The theory of a FA bumping into the seat movement switches is hard to believe. I've seen videos of the mechanism in action and it doesn't move the seat that fast to cause something so sudden. It should move even slower with someone sitting on it. I also don't think the most forward position of the s...

Re: Student Pilot attempts to open Alaska cockpit door multiple times

Bizarre behavior, but I'm more surprised that AS crew let him do it three times before requesting law enforcement to stop him. This was supposed to be done on the first attemp. Seeing as he could potentially face 20 years in jail, the fact that his pilot career is over is the least of his concerns r...

Re: Boeing Whistleblower Found Dead

Man denounces big corporation and later appears dead with a gunshot wound. Obviously, a story like this will fuel conspiracy theories and raise speculation.

The best thing to do is wait for the police investigation to determine what actually happened.

Re: UAL 821 A320 Emergency Landing LAX...diversion Hydraulic Failure

I think some are overreacting. Having 4-5 incidents in a matter of days is bad, but United has a fleet of almost 1000 aircraft. I'm actually surprised that with such a large fleet, there aren't 2-3 incidents per day. There are airlines with much smaller fleets that make weekly appearances on AvHeral...

Re: Could Embraer build a larger jet to compete with MAX and NEO

A further stretch of the 195 is possible ... how much ? The E195-E2 is already 41.5m long. More than that would make its operation unfeasible at most airports where an aircraft of its capacity operates. More passengers would essentially mean a new, wider fuselage at least to accommodate 5 seats abr...
