OUR AMERICAN military decided to talk to the Chinese before the previous administration could do anything.

Jump to postSo are you for or against Milley talking to Chinese military leaders to avoid a nuclear war because the previous administration was considering it? That is why this is a topic: The previous administration actually considered going to war with China. It had not been on the table under Obama or Bush ...
Jump to postImpeachment, as we saw twice with the former occupant, starts with investigations in the House. If they believe what happened rises to the level of charges being brought, that is where the case moves to the full House chamber to decide if there should be a trial to convict or acquit of impeachment ...
Jump to postJoint Chiefs decided the former occupant would go rogue and do whatever he wanted. Military leaders saw dear leader as a threat to national security. Simply calling another nation and saying "we think our guy does not know what he is doing and will wait until someone competent comes in" i...
Jump to postThere was no war happening. This is irrelevant. The context here is important - they could be referring to Chinese intel about speculation of attack, they could be referring to a rogue attack order, anything of that nature. It's a non-normal operation either way, and SecDef had anyway decided assur...

Jump to postThe A319NEO is already "on request" status. Yet, some airlines do or did request it.
Jump to post1+2 + toying with the C919. If the C919 gets a EASA certification, the toying could become serious. A program that was launched in 2008 and in 13 years has produced SIX uncertified frames? Oh, and is also not big enough for Ryanair? Thanks, I needed a laugh. :rotfl: You asked what he will do, not w...

Jump to postThe problem at Boeing starts at the top, the last thing they need is a purge of middle levels of the hierarchy, because that would probably hurt the ones doing actual projects. The basic problem is that the leadership does not see that Boeing has a problem and believes that others are causing proble...
Jump to postI would love to have failures that sell as well as the Boeing failures.
Jump to postWhat I don't get is how Boeing is still racking up new orders. If I were an airline CEO and I were looking at new airplanes, I'd be extremely hesitant to order anything from Boeing. They don't seem to be able to develop new models and, amazingly, they seem to have lost the ability to deliver the mo...

Jump to postAnd yet, you fail utterly to ask the obvious question. If Trump's plan was so great why did he feel the need to try and delete all his posts about it? LMFAO. What a jerk. Well, Parliament has voiced their feelings about Biden's leadership in no uncertain terms. Yes, and they also slammed Johnson an...
Jump to postI was just pointing out the correct way to report safety issues. If the Qatar CAA finds a safety issue, they must instantly inform EASA. You can not ground a type and then wait for the TCDS issuer to contact you and ask what the problem is.
Jump to postUnlikely. Airbus could (and would) dispell that with a simple phone call. Surely the Airframer has access to all of the world's aviation authorities. Unlikely for the manufacturer to make that call, but it would be negligent if the state of design TCDS issuer (EASA) did not contact the Qatar CAA, I...
Jump to postA-1 over the WarPac front lines in 1977, won´t do much good.
Jump to postDoes anyone really believe that if this was a true safety issue that the Qatari safety regulator would be on the leading edge? If the Qatar Airways fleet is the one seeing the safety issue and on the leading edge then I’d expect the Qatari regulatory agency to be on the leading edge. Without inform...

The freighter will surely not get different engines than the pax version, because then it does no longer fit easily into the existing production set-up and certification would become expensive.
Jump to postIn a way all this suits the engine industry as well. All the churn on what is to come means they can tell the OEMs that they won't be investing in a new engine till the way forward becomes clearer. In reality they too have been strongly impacted by COVID and still haven't gained a positive ROI on t...
Jump to postAirbus just decided to develop the variant, they did not commit to building it. If they find customers good, if they do not a lot of the work will be useful, if somebody is ever thinking about an A350P2F.
Jump to postNo one is interested in doing a new engine for 2028 introduction because they haven't got any return on investment for the previous generation of engines. Personally I thought the NMA with it's "LEAP and a half" engine from CFM made sense i.e. start with LEAP, grow its size a bit, add in ...
Jump to postAt the moment it is not the time to launch a new program, as we are heading towards big changes for the industry. We are always heading towards 'big changes'. Competitors always 'react and respond'. It's always taken folks with a bit of moxy to lead companies that produce big things. Moxy does not ...
Jump to postIn the end the A330 was always the favourite, as they also aim for an all Airbus narrow body fleet. The big question was CEOs or NEOs. With the white tails and the current market and their new investors NEOs made sense.

Jump to postOnly in theory, because as long as we do not 3D-print the whole thing, a digitized version still needs to be produced. The original 777 was an all digital airplane.
