Indian airlines certainly need some new aircraft. the existing 320s are like the first ever!

I dont think the 320s are the right aircrfat for Indian airlines. They would be better with the NG737. In fact they were better off with those old 732s than the awful 320s that replaced them. Have they only crashed the one 320? I wouldnt be at all suprised to find that a few of those computer planes had gone down.

Ignorance at its very best! Do you really know anything about how an Airbus works in comparison to a Boeing? You’ll need to answer with a little bit more than just using thew word ‘computers’.

I spent a while looking at the video pictures from the fin camera and the belly camera on the A346 on the way here to Tokyo and there’s no way you could make out a street let alone anything going on in a back garden. It’s only good for taxying and monitoring the outside of the aircraft in flight.

Look above Nosewheel

Bu66er me! I didn’t realise you could get ETOPS approval on an aircraft without a third hydraulic system!

737 has ETOPS?? 2 hydraulic systems, etc.

The arrow is pointing to an echaust area for bleed air pre-cooling. The extracted bleed air is normally cooled to 200 degrees C (sometimes 150 degrees under certain conditions) prior to being routed inside the wing structure and that is where the excess temperature is vented overboard. I would imagine the colour change is due to the temperatures involved.

I don’t invariably disagree with everything you say (just sometimes the way you say it).

Yes

I agree with Sandy. New designs will include a small number of quads but mostly twins.
