Germany offers planes to Russia

I thinks whats meant is that the average Russian Airliner belches out more gasses than western airliners.

And what evidence does he have that CO2 and CO3 from a Russian aircraft is more or less dangerous than CO2 and CO3 from western aircraft.

In February Airliners World it had an article about the IL-18 and it said if you stood behind it you would most certainly get poisioned…..which is kind of worrying

Genius… not to mention burned and and probably arrested as well. WTF do you think would happen if you stood behind Concord with its engines running? Is standing behind a Boeing considered a cure for cancer in the country you come from?

What type of large jet engine burning kerosene at a few thousand degrees is safe to stand behind. They must be very desperate the make them sound bad if they have to stoop to that.

So then Eastern, Continental, and American weren’t politically pushed, since they opted for RR? UA’s entire fleet is P&W powered, so that makes logical sense for them to have P&W powered 757’s. Speaking of politics, I recall a virtual coupe happening when BA opted for the GE90 on their initial batch of 777’s. No coincidence that the subsequent order was for Trent power.

I don’t think politics had anything to do with UA going for PW, as greekdude1 explains.

The Reason why BA switched to the Trents is because the GE90’s proved problematic, and the service from GE was less that desirable. So the next batch and all subesquent orders for 777’s were with Trents.

DL and UA may well have been politically pushed into buying the P&W engine for their 757’s as it is American rather than foreign.

RR r the best. Why else would sensible airlines choose the IAE v2500 for A320 🙂

My thoughts entirely.

The The RR engines are by far the most commonly used power plant on the 757. I think its somewhere in the region of 85-91% of all 757’s are RR powered.

Unless they are burning hydrogen as fuel they all emit poisonous gasses… but no, lets blame one single Russian type.

Could well be freighter conversions. The P&W engined 757’s are not particularly desirable in the passenger market. Freight companies will often accept old cast offs if the price is low enough.

DL and UA both have sizeable P&W powered 757 fleets, but neither are necessarily looking to acquire ‘new’ examples at the moment. What happened to all of TWA’s P&W powered 757’s? Did AA dump them or still have them? I never see them.

From all the evidence and talks on messenger i think its VIM. I mean it all fits together so well (the info i mean)..

So we finally caught the elusive bemused out. 😀

The current VIM livery. They don’t have any passenger planes as far as I can see. I wonder therefore if the 757s will be passenger planes or cargo. Assuming this VIM is the same as the earlier mentioned VIM.

Now here’s a coincidence…I have been in one of Flight Safety Boeings (now called Alteon) sims today and bumped into some Russians who were doing a 757 type conversion in order to fly the ex-Condor 757s. I think the airline was called something like Vim!

Now that is a coincidence 😉

Oh well..

All aircraft emit dubious gasses!!

I didn’t say I was designing it FOR them, just considering submitting a design, which I have done.

Fair enough bmused but where is that livery design you said you were designing for Air Scandic about a month ago
