At Boeing, Dreamliner Fix Turns Up New Glitch
By PETER SANDERS

Very Large Jets & Mega Cities, present & future
November 4, 2009 – 8:36 pm
Airbus sees some very different uses for its A380s emerging, including short haul high density regional routes, like Sydney-Melbourne, and low cost holiday migrations like those from Japan to Hawaii and Germany to the Caribbean.
Not tomorrow, but within two decades.
All in addition to the A380’s current inaugural roles as a full service flagship airliner plying [...]
Is tin back in for jets?
October 31, 2009 – 10:42 am
News that China is looking hard at using aluminium rather than composites for much of its proposed Comac C919 airliner raises the question as to whether ‘plastic fantastics’ like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350 are mistakes.
Both high composite projects make ambitious claims for the use of non-metallic materials. And the first, the 787, [...]

787 Dreamliner heads into a winter of discontent
October 22, 2009 – 7:43 am
Once again the critical timing of winter for the 787 Dreamliner has been overlooked by the analysts at a Boeing briefing.

October 17, 2009 – 2:08 am
Jon Ostrower at Flightblogger has another scoop on the latest developments in the 787 Dreamliner calamity.
Let’s parse the information carefully, bearing in mind that the company is run by serial liars who can’t even build 747s any more.
While the installation of the 787 wing fix continues, Boeing engineers have returned to the drawing board to [...]
Can Boeing really build jets anymore?
October 7, 2009 – 9:13 am
The ultimate Boeing 747, the 747-8, isn’t flying this year.
Barely a week after Boeing starting feeding nonsense into the ears of unquestioning reporters about how the 747-8 would exceed its specifications, it has announced it won’t fly until early next year, and has informed investors it will take a $US 1 billion hit because [...]
The shape of jets to come, maybe?
September 18, 2009 – 2:06 pm
This design (above) graces the overnight update to the Airbus Global Market Forecast to 2028.
Is it a successor to the A380, already? Or intended perhaps to fill the size gap between it and the A350-1000? Or is it just a fantasy, like the original shark fin concept of how the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was (never) [...]
