These stories are media proapaganda.
Years ago, there was an american pilot bashing Indian Air force, and one of the strangest things he said in my opinion was that he described Su-30 as having a slow roll rate.

Jump to postI believe some 747 achieved 18 hours of average flight time per day. 737s I believe have flown up to 12. They would achieve even more if there was quicker handling on the ground and no waiting before takeoff
I would like to post a similar question, how many hours can pilots fly a day
I think having a diesel-electric propulsion is almost impossible on aircraft. You need a diesel, which is not light, than you need a generator and then you need a electric motor.
Even having diesel directly driving a prop, is way heavier than turbine engines.
I suppose this would be a good topic to badmouth batteries?
Jump to postNice to see it happen. I would love more details though - especially how far will they go compared to existing A380?
When they anounce neos, maxos or X, it always make current produtcio type somehow outdated.
Nice news for chinese, I am guesing that this is the biggest order for a Chinese aircraft in history?
I it true that in the past (am not sure about the date) the Pakistans ordered and payed for the F-16, but the US refused to deliver them and kjept the money?
Don't have the exact info, since it varies widely, the variables being fuel costs, salary costs, maintenance cost, whether the plane is owned or leased, insurance costs and so on And there are other costs like navigation fees, landing fees, slots and so on. If it helps, I saw a video that claimed th...

Jump to postYes, but they cancelled A350 in the past, probably in the favor of 777X.
Jump to postWhen I first saw this topic I also wrongly assumed that an airline named "First" ordered 50 A330s. A330 is a good auirplane if you ask me, on short routes it competes well with A350 and 787 even though the latter are more advanced. If I remember correctly from the Flight global, more than 80% of wid...

Jump to postThere is a lot of back&forth betwen Airbus and Boeing in the twin widebody segment. First 787, then A350, lately revamped ibto A350XWB, 787-10, 777X, A330NEO and now possibly A350-1100.
I would like to see the same in narrowobdy twins, but I guess widebody market in more luxurious.
So I understand correctly every version of each plane (both A350 and 787) has different wing - unlike A320 family that has the same wing on every model - be it A318 or A321.
I also believe that both airplanes have excessive range capability
Yes, it is hard to say which is best, are al great machines.
And I think even "worst" turbofans have better realiabilitiy than piston engines.
I personally like big turbofans in 700000 lbf or more range
Paris is always about A vs B, never versus C or E.
Jump to postInteresting, Luftgansa and Qauntas are the last remainin big player withouth 777. And LH has ordered some of them, so the question is will QU be the only one withuutt?
