[JustaNumber]

will they have ailerons?

Yes, but the engines will rotate backwards.

Good one!

Cracker Jack Jet.... Composite is for model airplanes. Watch closely as they start to fall out of the sky. More importantly TSA does not have funding unless they plan to start and IPO. What private investment firm would chance a near half billion dollar operation.

Cracker Jack Jet.... Composite is for model airplanes.

Or Premier jets, or Hawker 4000s, or the Lear 85...or the Boeing 787.

Do you think the typo was Trans States Holdings bought the orders, or in 5 years will Trans States get to whipsaw all the GOJET scum?

Hi!

The Japanese made FANTASTIC airplanes in WWII.

And, our stupid auto industry told Edward Deming that his views on improving the Quality of US auto manufacturing was not needed...so he went to Japan, and they are now kicking our a$$, using American ideas, that Detroit said were worthless!!!

And I believe the zero had a spoiler system as well.

If you know how to operate the airplane, you won't kill yourself.

Hi!

2012:
Various opinions:
There will be no change.
The world will end, and everyone's existence will end.
The world will end, but everyone's existence will continue, but the conditions will be different (obviously).
Some people will notice a change, but others, will stay here on earth, and not notice and change.

There is a LOT of interesting material out on 2012, that's for sure!

If things change, I hope it is for the better!
And, most humans will not agree with me: They do NOT want any change, even if it is for the better!

PS-IF there is any change, the 21 Dec date is not certain at all, because conditions on Earth are so malleable. For people who believe in an upcoming change, the summer before Dec of 2012 is another popular time-frame.

The PW1000's will follow Mitsubishi policy of being the loudest aircraft on the ramp by using a very high speed HP compressor connected to a very low speed fan

Hi!

I read that they would be something like 30% or more quieter than the quietest engines that are now operating

A journalist stood next to one on a test stand at full takeoff power, and said he could converse with his fellow reporter in a normal tone of voice. He said he was shocked at how quiet it was.

Will it somehow be different on the ramp???

Mitsubishi declined to say how much the latest deal was worth,
 but the catalogue price of each jet is 400 million dollars.

typo? must be 40 million a piece.

what is the seat pitch of the E170? The MRJ is advertising 29in. seems a bit cramped no?
