Re: Boeing 787 news

The 19th seemed to be a bad day for the 787.
Apart from the fuel leak, there were 2 more incidents with the dreamliner.

Re: Belgian Defence to replace its A330 by an A321

So will this A321 will have 'Belgian Air Force' titles on it, or will it be a boring nameless white bird again... like the A330? Am i missing something? Isn't this the BAF A330? Hardly a boring nameless white bird. http://www.flightglobal.com/airspace/resized-image.ashx/__size/760x0/__key/Community...

And with the A400M coming (i know, it's still a while) the cargo portion will be taken care of. It is quite a bit larger than the C 130.

Re: Belgian Defence to replace its A330 by an A321

probably not going to happen due to the fact that politics plays a big part in the kind of aircraft our country's Air Force operates, but wouldn't a B787 be the best suited plane here? Smaller than an A330-300, yet with more range and cargo space than an A321? A suitable medium sized plane with suf...

At least it's not an aircraft specific problem but rather an engine specific problem this time.

Very true, but is another problem the 787 can miss.

Re: Boeing 787 news

Some interesting notes about the 787-9: - Only 40% of the 787-8 was designed by Boeing itself, with the -9 they returned to 60-70%, a similar percentage as their previous program, the 777.
