Aviation is Changing?
The ApusDuo is perhaps the most interesting concept for a long flight drone, that is not conventional in its lay out looking more like a kite without sails! It has a long duration of flight and can be used for a huge variety of uses, that involve observation more than that of attacking modes.
Nearly every nation has something to offer now in the drone market and they are mostly all the same in shape and concept, which is a bit disappointing?
The other concept is that of Virgin Galactic and the first flight into Space for its ability soon to carry passengers commercially. Not being a drone, but the first passenger bus it is breakthrough for human achievement?
It now looks like Qatar is to retire its fleet of Airbus A380's and end production in favour of the Boeing 777X, but it will maintain the Airbus A350-900 fleet and hope to see the 1000 series soon certified.
Great advances are being made in engine design and efficiency today over that of size and seating requirements on long distant flying!

Demise of the Boeing 747?
Boeing 747/100/200/SP/300/400 and -8.
The Boing jumbo jet is a sixties baby and was really operational from 1971, it has had a great success world-wide as the first clipper of the skies but is now in demise or is it? It is not clear how many new orders have been placed for either the series 400 or the -8, but the Boeing 777X may be the true replacement since its proceeds a tried and tested 777 class after twenty-four years of service!
Boeing has had stiff competition from Airbus and its A380-800 Super Jumbo, but it to has declined, due to the more popularity of its new Airbus A350-900/1000 XWB extra wide body aircraft.
Competition is ever on the increase in the aviation world with newer designs and improved technology, many aircraft that are smaller can do the job now of the Jumbos and they are cheaper on fuel consumption? 9/11 terrorism has also played a key factor, but so has Airbus and its popular A330, which is one of the best sized aircraft in the world today?
