    Now that, is original.

    To answer your question directly, no. However, it’s not revolutionary. Composites have been used in primary structure for decades. Boeing have just went a step further and used it in the wings and fuselage.

    I am not an Airbus/Boeing/Bombardier/Embraer, etc fan-boy!

    Boeing do have years of practical composite experience. Some may argue, that their experience with composites in a military application are more valuable and telling. They are obviously convinced, otherwise they wouldn’t have done it. You don’t take such bold steps without testing first.

    Do you remember the commotion when their first 777-200ER was to be delivered in a new livery, but got repainted into their current livery.

    The Garmin G1000 sure does look like it would make single-pilot IFR that little bit easier. Particularly later aircraft with the Cirrus Perspective stuff in it.

    Very clear for scans from slides. I particularly like the colours in #3.

    I don’t think any aircraft can change the culture of an airline by itself.

    Can you expand on why they “suck”?

    Great news for Southend. I wonder if the nimbys will be booked on these flights at any point? 😀

    Yes, I think you are right – Boeing need to surround the B787 in good publicity now, and even better, deliver the thing.

    I still think it is evolution rather than revolution.

    Fantastic. I love the cheers on the take-off video as it lifts-off. You can imagine the sense of achievement that must be. Well done to all the guys involved on the project.

    I must admit Jim, when I saw a post by you with a title “P.C.” I was wondering what I was going to read. Pleasantly surprised.

    To answer your question; I have no idea! :confused:

    Nice to see a 146.

    Would have been even nicer to see the RJX flying commercially.
