Jump to postAlways appreciate your input, Neil. Thank you :bigthumbsup: If you could make a guess, what kind of amount of money would be required to make it a high cycle engine?

Jump to post100 orders for Comac means 100 less orders for Boeing and Airbus. I wonder if Air China and China Southern will also order more C919s. Overall, this is very positive news, because the aviation industry will get more competition and we will see more innovative technologies. I mean at the utilization...
Jump to postHow far from the standard are the current engines, because I think as suggested above you ask for the waiver, maybe pair a PiP with it, and then if it works great, if it doesn't oh well. Obviously there were no takers on many of the other solutions that have been floated.

Jump to postThe best thing to happen to Porter might be the Q400 production being a giant question mark.

Jump to postThat said, the 767 sales are coming to an end due to the carbon limits. In my opinion, there is no way to meet the upcoming standard without a new engine and I just do not see a business case to re-engine the 767. Boeing is keeping the line open for the tanker program. They don't get to shut down t...

Jump to postI'm an aviation fan, but every aircraft must be designed to have economic advantage in a niche. Some are at range, some on frequency.

Jump to postCessna’s new SkyCourier has the potential to reinvigorate the short-haul markets, the gap is definitely in the 30-50 seat group. Right-size for small cities, and would allow for some hub overflying, at a reasonable cost. Also, in the US, it can be operated at 30 seats, which puts it into another se...
Jump to postHighlights: - due to the changed operating environment, both fleets, the E190-E1 will remain in the fleet along side with the E195-E2. Previously, they were supposed do replace the E190-E1 fleet; That's great news for Embraer, as that means that instead of 32 E1s replaced by 25+10 E2s, you'll have ...
Jump to postIt's loss leader time for Embraer, they need to sit down with the majors and basically understand that they may make next to nothing on the order (or lose money) but you've got to get that one order to give the E2 legs to survive long term. Maybe that entails going to AA or UA and committing to laun...
Jump to postThe only hope for a small plane like this is to be in multiple markets.

If they can get some airline orders, some charter...
Jump to postI wonder to what extent the new military-powered STOUT freighter, announced by Embraer yesterday, will have synergies with these 80-100 passenger aircraft project.

“It is not with the turboprop yet. We are working on a new light military aircraft, which is being built with the Brazilian Air Force.

Jump to postI think the implications of a route like this are very encouraging if you have a smaller city in the Western US that’s hoping to land WN service sometime in the future. This is an experiment IMO. If it works, (which I think it will), look for them to add BZN, JAC, BIL, CHE, COS, and maybe EGE out o...
Jump to postSomething missed in the previous posts was noted by Slattery in the AIN interview below. Embraer is looking at building a new turboprop with the same look and feel of the E2 series.

Jump to postThere's a market for anything, but is there enough of a market for someone to clean sheet a design? Almost definitely not.

Jump to postSeems like an overkill. They might well keep the GEs, if only to make it more attractive on the export market. I'm not sure there's a turboprop of that power class available from Russia anyhow, and I doubt the market is worth developing one for. Or they could stick with GE but their newer product l...

Jump to postWith Aeromexico looking to upgauge, with the DL influence, I think the A220 has an edge.

Of the current A230 vs. E2, I find this and IAG the most facinating. L...
