B.flex B.Light
This is a subject which might be more of interest to the passengers on this forum than to the "technicians", yet given the article in L'Echo saying B. Flex is not "taking off", it might be worthwile sharing opinions on b.air's new concepts. First, let me state that I like SN Brus...

I honestly don't know which would the best new aircraft for SN's European routes. My preference would go to Embraer, but Sukhoi doesn't seem to be a bad choice (and Sukhoi will probably be the cheapest to buy, but will it be the cheapest to operate ?). As to the African network, I don't understand w...

Thanks for the info and link, Gliderpilot. I don't know how Embraer calculate their seat width. If Embraer and Sukhoi offer comparable seat comfort, I would have no problem flying Sukhoi.

Dear Gliderpilot, You and I mustn't have visited the same web site. On www.sukhoi.org/engl under Superjet 100 - Interiors - Cabins - Sukhoi indicates a seat width in economy class of 16.23 inches (and 20 inches in Business class, but since b.air is so proud not to have any business class anymore exc...

I agree that most people don't care what type of aircraft they are flying and they cannot make the difference between aircraft types. This is for aviation freaks like us. I would probably not mind flying a modern Russian build aircraft (Sukhoi). My main concern here is comfort. If you check the web ...
