Re: Boeing's future

It is a stretch to state that MCAS was a "safety crucial flight system". Regulators themselves have stated that the functionality that MCAS added was required to meet regulations but likely did not appreciably add to overall safety. I would say that MCAS ended up being a "safety cruc...

Re: Boeing's future

I mean we're approaching Lockheed or McDonald-Douglas levels of mismanaging the airliner development process here, so I don't think there's an existential threat to their existence. Lockheed Martin makes very nice, extremely expensive fighter jets that don't seem to work as advertised, and MDD mana...

Re: All-electric aircraft from Rolls-Royce completes maiden flight in Britain

So this is a fun little aircraft. I like the looks, it seems to be stylized as a pre-WW2 racer. I'm trying to understand the bulges in the "engine compartment". As an addict of "Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles" on YouTube, I love finding out what every feature of an aircraft is...

Looks like any Airline ops for Flight will be limited to something similar to Aloha. I do like how Fly Away kind of told us how to spur Microsoft into developing the rest of the world...
