Well yes - that is why I wrote 'In my opinion'. If i didnt write that then some wise ass will have .......... I note that the fact that the 330 and 340's are quieter was ignored. I guess that is down to the airline as well right? The "fact" was not ignored as I do NOT believe the 330/340s...

Has anyone else noticed that those who lack the intellect to engage in knowledgeable and intelligent discussions on a subject, resort to personal attacks on individuals in an effort to draw attention away from the subject at hand. achace you really need to go back and read your own postings as objec...

That was the whole point of my response. His opinon is just that, his opinion, and totally subjective. As I pointed out, the airlines, not the manufacturer, decide how many seats, what kind of seats, how wide they are, and how far apart they will be placed, both side to side and front to back (pitch...

Well in my view nothing surpasses the A330 / 340 for passenger comfort in either business or economy..... Well, in my view that is just not true. :? It is the airlines that decide how many seats and where to place them and based on my own personal experience I have found the A330/340 to be inferior...

Why wait for someone to do it for you? If you are interested, find it and post it.

And? Any movement?

Check this out...
Boeing fuselage Section 41

Thank you.
Interesting information, but it still looks like a smooth transition from fuselage to section 41 to me.
Thanks, again.

The 777 used the same avionics bay as the 767, to save on cost and design time. That makes it look funny I think. Not a clean slope from barrel to nose, but an abrupt transition. I guess my eyes must be getting old, because I don't see what you are talking about. http://www.boeing.com/companyoffice...

Sorry, I don't believe that is correct. On 30 May 2006, Qatar ordered 6, B777-200LRs and 14, B777-300ERs, and on 13 December 2006, they ordered 2, B777 Freighters. Deliveries will start in November of this year.

From the size of that thing it would appear it could handle something even bigger than a 777.

Yes but Airbus probably specified maximum loading at the front end of the plane, which is probably less than, for example, in the middle of the plane... And then what would you put in that same space? One tourist seat? Two? Three? Leave it empty? At what point can the airlines still have revenue ge...

The space used by one of those seats is the equivalent of 6 tourist class seats. Do you think the combined weight of that one seat and a passenger is as much or more than that of the weight of 6 tourist class seats with passengers?

I believe, but could be wrong, that the 340s Thai Air was using for their non-stop flights to and from the U.S. were configured for approximately 250 passengers.

About a year ago I asked Randy about composite panels and here is his reply,

Well, let's see....2007 minus 1966 comes to....41, not 50. Was the actual design finished 41 years ago? No, I think that was when they started the project. Regardless the 747 is a beautiful airplane. A far, far better looking aircraft than the A380. No contest. The design is timeless and it will nev...

747-8 Freighter program is going strong. This will be I believe the 5th customer for the freighter. Overall, a good day for Boeing getting good orders from a finance group, CO and Russian freighter carrier. 7th. Atlas Air, Cargolux, Emirates, Guggenheim Aviation Partners, Nippon Cargo Airlines, Kor...

You can add UPS's recent order to bring the total of 767s ordered to date up to 1,005.

While I've been a big fan of the Boeing 747 in all its various forms, the two most comfortable flights I have ever experienced were on Boeing 777-200s, long haul across the Pacific.
