I think unlike Baby Airbus who received launch aid from governments, Boeing just wants to make sure the program B747AV is profitable. If the US had supported Boeing with launch aid like the European governments do, B747AV would have taken off long time ago.

Imagine they abandone the A350 and launch a Sonic Cruiser, european style, or, the revamped Concorde.
Major panic in Seatlle.

Abandon A350? A Euro style Concorde ? You mean the one the only few can fly? This is Euro metality

Air India's fleet expansion is growing rapidly, they just announced they are in final negotiations with Boeing for a total of 68 aircraft for both the main fleet and express. http://sify.com/finance/fullstory.php?id=13950691 Good news for Boeing! I wonder if it is because B777 is more economical th...

I think Boeing should be outsourcing machinist jobs to Russia, China or India. They don't have to worry about Union, labor cost is lower, and the host countries would buy more Boeing planes.

Boeing is planning to ramp up production:

Was the Caravell a piece of Euro scrap? Not in service for a few years weren't they? And how many Concord were in service? Marvel or scrap?

Next will be a Concorde-made-by-Boeing, probably called Real Sonic Cruiser. Problem is that they cannot find anough plaster to copy a Concorde.

Even in 21st they are not stupid enough to build a Concord

This is not good for aviation

What do you meam "this is not good for aviation" gal? Do you mean B737 is not safe?

Hard times for Airbus, I would assume. Although from contracts with the airlines they should have calculated such compensation payments. rgds, A380-800 They have governments' support, so they should have no problems at all. Just borrow money from UK,France and pay for the late penalty. Good luck Ai...

Mr. Bit44
Is it a new order ? Or this is just the finalized order of 60 787 which was announced long time ago?

Not that fast. airbus seems to upgrade A350 to the same performance of B787 or better.

Here is my wild imagination: If Boeing 787 failed, Boeing is doomed. But if Boeing 787 is successfull, especially if Boeing succeeds in building the whole fuselage with carbon fibre and the carbon fiber is proven as safe as conventional metal alloy then Airbus is in deep trouble. Boeing can apply th...

Despite some of these orders are pure political ones like those from Japan and China many others could have gone to Airbus. Just Wondering? Not really true dude. Japan has been flying Boeing for decades, and have built boeing parts. These orders are not purely political but economically benefits. T...

I wonder if A350 offer larger windows, and higher humidity in passenger cabin as B787 does. Assume A350 is as economical as B787, but it doens't provide comfort as B787 does, is it a big disadvatange?

Seb.

I think the increase value in Euro dollar is just recent. Airbus has been offering airlines discounts for a long time. I think
Correct me if I am wrong.
