SAS and Air Canada make noises about buying!

One of the 14 souls was 1 year old, who can perfectly legitimately be held in lap with no sort of restraint.

The other children were two 3 year olds, 4, 5, 7 and 9. So, the plane was overloaded with the two 3 year olds.

Note that while both airliners and private planes require separate seats for 2 year olds, plenty of buses and trains do not, and allow rather bigger children to sit in the lap of an adult without a ticket.

You might have to put an armoured bulkhead between the 2 engines to protect against an uncontained compressor/turbine failure ‘taking out’ the adjacent engine and or fuel system.
I know it is not a flying quality issue but might be an airworthiness consideration
There are 2 good reasons for keeping the original configuration -unloading the wing structure thereby making it lighter and the safety factor of engine separation.

Yes. And VC-10 does have paired engines. Does VC-10 suffer contagious failures?

As Mike said -more assymetric moment during engine failure but that is not the big problem it used to be – modern powered controls and safety systems should cope ok with outbd engine failure.

Powered controls cannot control the plane if the control authority is not there because the rudder has been made smaller to save weight and drag. All that the powered controls achieve is stall the airflow at rudder.

Straight to the Mojave desert for a holiday in the sun!!!

Why?

They already are in desert!

E-195 can carry 122 seats single class, see
http://www.embraercommercialjets.com/english/content/ejets/emb_195.asp?tela=layouts

Compare maximum 125 seats of CS100

E-195AR has 2200 nm range with 108 seats. Compare 2200 nm range of CS100.

So, they are accomplishing equal missions…

Hopefully other than with the 747-8 and Dornier 728 where LH was the launch customer other customers will follow soon.

How many customers does Dornier 728 have?

Cseries looks a bit like Dornier 728. Two underwing engines. Cabin width is 325 cm on 728 (12 cm wider than DC-9. 17 cm narrower than BAe 146), 3 cm wider (328 cm) on Cseries. Then again, Sukhoi Superjet 100 is also like Dornier 728, with 323 cm wide cabin (2 cm narrower than 728).

I thought it was a fancy term for “take-off, pressurisation in climb, cruise at altitude, depressurisation in descent and landing”, ideally in that approximate order. 🙂

If a plane depressurizes in descent, circles an airport but does not land, then pressurizes again in climbing back to cruise altitude, and then depressurizes again and lands, how many “cycles” have been logged?
