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...

Re: Belgian Defence to replace its A330 by an A321
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.RoMax wrote:The only disadvantage is for the long haul transport and larger cargo transports, but hey, NATO partners enough.

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...

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. This decision was taken after all the design problems with the 788. - A bigger percentage of the aircraft is b...
