Hello! I was looking at the winglets on the 747-400 and their size doesn't look big, but that may be due to the much larger size of its wing by comparison. I know the 737 NG winglets are not exactly the same type, but they look much bigger than the ones on the 744, at 8ft 2in I believe, but the plan...

I always figured every aircraft with a major airline would have their accompanying engine covers somewhere. Some of the airlines I worked with used to store the covers in the aircraft cargo hold all the time. However much to my surprise a few airlines around here don't have covers for all their sto...
Jump to postHello all, hope everyone is ok. During the COVID19 crisis and consequent aircraft grounding, I've seen a lot of photos from tons and tons of planes on the ground, most of them chocked and with engine covers. I know those are essential equipment to prevent damage etc, but imagining all those planes s...

Jump to postOne must remember that this same 60 year old design is able to be competitive even using a lower bypass engine Definitely not an engineer, but would raising the plane a few inches permit a good deal of advancements on engine options? I've never quite understood why the 737 is so low to the ground. ...
Jump to postIsn't the 737 fuselage much more economical than the A32x series? I think Boeing chose to not to do some changes because it would be more expensive and take longer, knowing that it would compromise sales and economies results of the frame, but if they wanted to, they could. One must remember that th...

I remember Wilco 737 talking about both versions of the 747 on LH. It is probably common when an airline has both types, but I don't know of many airlines who do.

Jump to postWhat I understand the OP is actually proposing is what is the feasibility of making the MOM a 4 engine aircraft, because there are no engines available for the thrust range proposed by him.

Jump to postThe 757 is a great plane but an old one. For me it has two markets: Low range, high capacity market: probably not many airlines would have bought it for this use, as it is an old plane and the A321 has been around for quite some time and probably with much better economics on this type of mission.

Jump to postHello all, happy new year!

Jump to postIsn't the 788 a lot bigger than the 763? Well, it certainly offers way more cargo capacity, but in terms of passenger capacity, it is perhaps only marginally bigger, and in the end it all comes down to how the different airlines that operate those planes configure their cabins (number of classes, t...
Jump to postI would imagine that most current LATAM 763ER routes could be served in the future with 788s (but I am crossing my fingers that GRU-MEX will be A359 in due time hehe).

Jump to postI think what the OP is really asking is the impact on country of origin of the product, in this case the A340, on costumer willingness to buy it, in this case the airlines.
