"No more Euro Trash????" What kind of comment is that? First off last I checked Emirates is based a few thousand miles away from Europe but I guess you mean the A380 which is built with parts from around the world...much like the 787 is, so yes the 787 is part Euro Trash as well....second the reduction in capacity is a sign of the times which effects the local economy. As for 13L yeah lets not tear it up now...Port can breach the contract that's signed pay a hefty fine for breach of contract and the contracting company can lay off the workers who were going to do the work and put money back into the economy....yep great idea.
:roll: :roll: :roll:
My comment is based off the concept that the A380 has done NOTHING innovative for this industry...aviation thrives on innovation, which will keep is going further.
The 787 is game changing; eliminating the pneumatic system onboard the aircraft which will save weight...making the aircraft entirely electric...
What's the A380? an A340 with an upper deck?
Same flightdeck...more sheet metal...
the 777 is a fully FBW aircraft, Boeing used it as it's testbed for testing Fiber (IFE system) and Composites (control surfaces) in aviation...using what it learned, BCA created the 787...
the 757/767 brought along the idea of ARINC429 databuses, and now we use the ARINC 629 on the 777...and the 787 continues this with a redesigned databus system...
I can keep going on with the 747, 707, etc...
So I don't make my comment from ignorance,
I make my comment out of insult, that you would sit here and praise an aircraft that doesn't HELP the develop of aviation, I made my comment from a technical standpoint, because THAT'S what keeps this industry going!
EDIT; Due to minor mistakes...
