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 ✈

-
Image
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 hav...

Hello everyone. I put together a new header for the site and I hope you all will like it. I'll show it to you all here also in this post. I'm sure you all can see what type of airplane this is, even if it's mostly in blueprint form with added colors and value. It's the P-51 Mustang, and it's one of my favorite military airplanes, that and the Spitfire. Sure I have a few more favorite aircraft too. Like the Blackbird. I don't even want to think about how much airplane insurance cost is for one of these though. Anyhow earlier today (Wednesday February 6, 2013) before the M8.0 Santa Cruz Islands Earthquake and following Tsunami I was browsing some pictures of the SR-71 Blackbird aircraft, these pictures where taken by Nasa and of the research plane they were using back in California in the 90's. There really is something special to that long sleek body, not talking about all that Titanium.. This is an interesting video documentary about the SR-71 Blackb...

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...
