PS-Embraer says that the 20% fuel savings is bogus, and that their aircraft are very efficient, and that the "C" can't be that much more efficient than theirs.

Embraer points out that while the engine itself may be somewhat more efficient, when you put the engine on an airframe, much of the increases in efficiency go down because of air flow interference with the fuselage.

Bombardier stands by their claim that the engine is 20% more efficient than the most efficient engines operating today. They said they took the airframe airflow into account when they got the 20% increase in fuel efficiency.

What? Bombardier is making the C130? It thought Lockheed made the Herc!

Homer, are you saying that Lufthansa is going to start flying turboprops?

Is this what SkyWest is using for the Alaska Express flying?

That might explain the significant amount of ANC, FAI, and SEA based routes that have been built into the route database over the last few months. Or not...

What? SkyWest is flying for Alaska Airlines now as Alaska Express. That's awesome.

 

[XPOO]

No, no, no......SkyWest must be signing a deal to fly as Lufthansa Express. That's gotta be it.
