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 Airbus A350-900 Wide-body Jet Airliner ✈

-
Image
The A350-900 is the cornerstone member of Airbus The A350-900 was scheduled to enter service in the first half of 2014. The first commercial flight was made on 15 January 2015 between Doha and Frankfurt. One year after introduction, the Airbus A350 fleet had accumulated 3,000 cycles and around 16,000 flight hours. By the end of May 2016, the in-service fleet flew 55,200 hours over 9,400 cycles at 97.8% operational reliability on three months. The longest operated sector was Qatar Airways' Adelaide-Doha at 13.8 h for 6,120 nautical miles (11,330 km; 7,040 mi), 45% of flights were under 3,000 nmi, 16% over 5,000 nmi and 39% in between. The average flight was 6.8 h, the longest average was TAM Airlines with 9.6 h and the shortest was Cathay Pacific's 2.1h to build experience on the type. Aircraft seat configuration range from 253 seats for Singapore Airlines to 348 seats with TAM, with a 30 to 46 seat business class and a 211 to 318 seat economy class, often including a pr...

Measuring nearly 74 metres from nose-to-tail The all new Airbus A350-1000 made it's maiden flight on 24 November 2016, the A350-1000 performed and demonstrated its efficiency and capabilities for it's global customers. Airbus A350-1000 made it's maiden flight on 24 November 2016 The new Airbus have the longest fuselage in the Airbus A350 XWB jetliner family. It is measuring nearly 74 metres from nose to tail giving it more storage and space. The new A350-1000 also offer a maximum range of 7,950 nautical miles and is designed for "high efficiency, maximum reliability and optimised performance" but is still able to offer the passengers the best-in-class comfort with its “Airspace by Airbus” cabin. In a typical three-class configuration, featuring Airbus’ 18-inch-wide economy class seats for modern comfort, the A350-1000 seats a total of 366 passengers. Combined with a range of 7,950 nautical miles, this represents a significant revenue-generating advantage ...

Emirates Airbus A380 Landing in Strong Crosswinds

-
Image
Heavy Cosswinds Caught on video this weekend was this crosswind landing done by an Emirates Airbus A380 at Manchester Airport, Saturday the 26th of March 2016. Looks like the pilots had everything under control even in the strong crosswinds that day and managed to do a safe landing with the big Airbus A380 carrying around 500 passengers. The video uploaded to World Aviation HD on Youtube even have some comments from the passengers on the Airbus. Lena Jostel 1 day ago I was on this flight, it was scary. World Aviation HD 1 day ago +Lena Jostel hey lena, what was it like? Ringo Hime 1 day ago +World Aviation HD I remember there was a period of standstill as you can see from the video, and the descent was quite abrupt and I felt queasy. However the pilot really did great landing t...

Airbus A320 Turkish Airlines Emergency Landing

Image
Emergency Landing   Damage Seen From Window Turkish Airlines Airbus A320-232 with registration TC-JPE flight TK-1878 from Milan Malpensa in Italy to Istanbul, Turkey had to make an emergency landing after a failed approach on Istanbul Ataturk Airport's runway 05 at 10:22L (07:22Z) Apr-25-2015 . The flight was carrying 97 passengers and just before touchdown the Airbus A320 rolled right causing the right wing along with the engine to come in contact with the runway. The crew initiated a go-around and then declared an emergency due to the right engine being inoperative. The crew subsequently reported an unsafe gear indication after a hard touch down. The Airbus still being able to fly the crew made a go-around and positioned themselves for an emergency landing on runway 35L. They touched down about 20 minutes after the accident, but with the damage seen to the right wing and right main gear collapsed the aircraft skidded on its right engine, with sparks and smoke trailing...

With new aeronautical technologies and advances in aeronautical engineering that we see these days, the list of airplane types and models continues to grow bigger and bigger. You may ask yourself which of all the commercial airplanes in use 2014 are the ones that are the most commonly bought by aircraft companies? Lets have a look at some of the commercial planes in the world, according to a list issued by US-based therichest.com. The Top 10 Commercial Planes Sold 2014 No.10 Airbus A380 Airbus A380, the airplane manufactured by French company Airbus, went into production in 2004. The airplane is highly preferred because it is a double-decker, meaning it can accommodate more passengers. In fact, the Airbus A380 is considered the biggest passenger aircraft as of today. Airline companies have invested in this model because it is a cost-efficient option for them.

✈ 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...

✈ Year 2050 Planes Will Fly in Bird-like Formations ✈

Reduced Aircraft Mass 1. Reduced structural and payload weight Some of the ideas dealt with in other sections may have relevance here: the use of ground power augmentation (section 2.2) may serve to reduce engine thrust or the use of detachable or ground located undercarriages (section 4.1.3). However, the most effective approach to a better relationship between power, weight and payload seems to rest with new concepts for the aircraft design. The concept that appears to receive most effort to bring it forward is the Blended Wing Body [BWB]. The savings of drag achieved by its tail-less nature are significant and the L/D function in designs being studied is about 15% higher than current design conventions. Reducing the structural weight of a given concept will bring about benefits dependent upon its operational use. Broadly based figures suggest that the percentage taken off the weight of the aircraft, engines and systems will produce a percentage saving in fuel burn per tonne-k...
