Boeing 737 MAX Gets New Orders

-
Image
Boeing easily beat rival Airbus in orders for new planes last month, but Chicago-based Boeing trailed its European rival in delivering planes to airline customers. Boeing said that it took orders for 31 planes in July while 17 others were canceled, resulting in a net gain of 14. That compared with two orders for Airbus. It was Boeing’s sixth straight month of positive net orders after seeing cancellations exceed orders for most of 2020. Boeing has reported 270 net orders so far in 2021. Brazil’s Gol ordered nine 737 Max jets last month and Dallas-based Southwest Airlines ordered six. Boeing delivered 28 planes in July, including nine 737 Max jets sent to Irish airline Ryanair. That fell short of Airbus, which delivered 47 planes last month. For the year, Boeing has delivered 184 planes, more than all of 2020. This despite the halt in shipping its 787 jet because of production flaws in the fuselage and nose. Last month, the company said it will cut production of 787s. Deliveries are cri...

✈ New Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner ✈

-

Brief Description:

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner is a superefficient airplane of the third millennium with new passenger-pleasing features. It will bring the economics of large jet transports to the middle of the market, using 20 percent less fuel than any other airplane of its size.

The main innovation of the new 787 Dreamliner over the aircraft of previous generations is the use of composite material carbon fibre instead of aluminium, which significantly reduces the weight and improves performance. The conditions onboard the plane are continuously monitored by a system of sensors, which also report any maintenance needs to the ground computer systems.

Even the air in the cabin has a greater level of humidity than at present and the altitude within the cabin has been reduced by around 1000 meters, this significantly improve the comfort conditions for travellers. The added light from the larger windows also makes the interior more comfortable.

Advances in engine technology have been the greatest factor contributing to the overall improvement in the Dreamliner’s consumption. The 787 has new engines from General Electric and Rolls Royce, practically representing a jump of two generations in terms of technology.

The new Boeing 787 family offers airlines unprecedented efficiency, significantly reducing operating costs, with exceptional environmental performance. The plane generates savings of around 18% per seat with the same configuration.

✈ New Airbus A380-800 Superjumbo ✈

-
Image
Brief Description: The Airbus A380 Superjumbo is a ultraefficient double-deck, wide-body, four-engine airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus, an EADS subsidiary. Currently the largest passenger airliner in the world, superseding the Boeing 747 that was first introduced in 1969, and which was the largest and most expensive aircraft in the world until the introduction of the Airbus A380 in 2007. But it will still have a shorter fuselage than the Airbus A340-600 which is Airbus' next biggest passenger aeroplane. The A380 is the first commercial airliner to have a central wing box made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic. It is also the first to have a smoothly contoured wing cross section. The wings of other commercial airliners are partitioned span-wise into sections. This flowing, continuous cross section optimises aerodynamic efficiency. The cabin has features to reduce traveller fatigue such as a quieter interior and have a higher pressurisation than prev...

Photo By jessicatrinh.com Let me tell you the cost insuring airplane because unlike what many people believe owning you’re very own single or multiple engine plane is not that expensive at all. Below I will go into what the aircraft insurance rates are today. What you might not know about commercial aircraft insurance or the more common for you readers private plane insurance is that plane insurance cost covers much more than what you might think, and this is a good thing. Another interesting fact is that the same plane insurance apply for most people around the world even. Aviation insurance was a bit different before with an cost of aviation insurance determined to a large extent by Lloyd’s of London. This is because England was an important center of world trade in the 17th century and the Lloyd’s coffee house in London became the place to purchase insurance on ships and ship’s cargo. So ever since it’s beginnings in 1688 Lloyd’s have been an pioneer in insurance. Natu...

The Boeing 747-100 uses about 1 gallon of jet fuel per minute of flight   This is the Boeing 747-100 shown in the poster as a cutaway and it was the first original variant made by Boeing launched in 1966. The 747-200 soon followed, with its launch in 1968. The 747-300 was later launched in 1980 and it was followed by the 747-400 in 1985. Boeing also announced the 747-8 in 2005. Several versions of each variant have been produced by Boeing, and many of the early variants were in production simultaneously. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) classifies variants using a shortened code formed by combining the model number and the variant designator (e.g. "B741" for all -100 models).
