@kidvids1518 And remember, that aircraft had a twin engine failure due to birdstrike yet the still functioning APU allowed Capt Sullenberger to use the fly by wire controls to land carry out a text book ditching in the River. So good was the landing, the aircraft remained totally in tact. A 737 ...

@LottoWinner999 Everywhere I look on here I see you giving the same shit out. You must be the stupidest YT person ever to say the a320 is old whilst at the same time saying the 737 (which 1st flew in the 1960s) is somehow "new". The 737 has been a great a/c but don't kid yourself that the MAX wil...

@jeevanga Are you a qualified aeronautical engineer?

Amazing aircraft. So quiet and great to travel in.

@LottoWinner999 Thats one dumb, irresponsible comment buddy. 767's/757's have been flying for years with micro cracks in the wings and fuselage but we've seen no problems with their airworthiness, right?. It happens across the industry and all get diagnosed and repaired during maintenance. Wtf wi...

@mikie263 you got it wrong buddy. the press just loves sensationalising this sorta stuff. the parts in question are inside the wing and are "non-load bearing" small alloy plates that connect the wing skin to the ribs. there are many, many of these in each wing. small stress cracks are not uncommo...

@rockymountainrandom The 748I simply doesn't offer the pax capacity benefits of the A380, given BA's objectives of maximising profits at slot restricted Heathrow. That is one reason airlines are planning to fly more and more A380's out of Heathrow with the likes of Emirates going from a mixture o...

and more A380 operators have chosen RR engines over EA. Boeing usually prefer to use RR engines when they launch a new aircraft like the 787.

Seems to me that Boeing have lost their way and got poor leadership. Early last year they said a brand new 737 was the way to go. Then Airbus pulls off that big order with AA for 260 aircraft, Boeing panics and decides to re-launch the same old aircraft with just enough of an upgrade to keep exis...
