Airbus is Extending the A.220-200

 This original Canadian wonder, is now to become a -300

But is this worth the bother, since Airbus has taken the market with the current A.320-200 family and the newer version the A.230-200NX/LR?

The original A220-100 did not do so well as the 200, but the Europeans must see a market for the 300 series as older aircraft are being withdrawn and scrapped!

This Canadian original was blocked by President Trump, forcing the Canadians to sell it to Airbus and thus under Joe Biden the ban was lifted?

Unfortunately Boeing has not been successful as in times past of replacing the 737-100/300 series, but rather invest in the MAX, which has encouraged many countries around the world to turn to Embraer or Airbus and a few others!

Class 66 Lives on!

The American/Canadian Class 66 lives on?

At this time there remains no real replacement to the British class 66 locomotive, there are some newer classes but no substantial orders have been made for them in relation to freight haulage!

In fact many European engines are being returned to the U.K. to replace the early first introduction 6600-20 and there looks like no other engine is to replace it in the near future?

Like the Class 43 (Intercity 125) in passenger travel, it has seen a rebuild and over forty years of service. Many countries do not let go of their locomotion so quickly and hold on in reserve what might come in handy at a later date!

The price of fuels is one key factor the other be reliability and also ease of use to the existing drivers! None of these 66's were ever as far as ones knows ever employed in passenger services, apart from recovery of preservation trains?

Airbus has saved the Day?

Jobs in N-Ireland are safe for now?

The PM made a mad rush to the EU to save Canadian plan maker jobs in East-Belfast, but one has to wonder at what cost? From this one move it looks like we will be staying in the EU after all and our media is telling us a pack of crap lies?

Airbus on the other hand will want to develop this aircraft into its own portfolio and eventually make it its own! The question still remains, will it be able to break into the U.S. market as being hoped for or will the U.S. President Trump continue to increase import taxes?

Now you know what it is like to have a good idea and find that you invention can be blocked by others, who believe it to be a threat to their economy or business and how political pleading can overrule elections and the will of the people?

Canadian Bombardier CS100/300. Part-One.

Boeing Lawsuit!

This is the problem that one faces today in the aviation industry and business, that new aircraft types are being penalised by the new U.S. administration if they want to enter the U.S. market? The U.S., China and Russia dominate the world, because of land mass size and difficult environments from cold to hot and mountains to deserts!

The U.S. remains the most busiest air lanes in the world, after Europe and the Far-East, Boeing is perhaps the worlds largest supplier of both civil aircraft to military and its sees Bombardier over the border as serious competition in relation to several of its current models.

The Canadian CS100/300 is a breakthrough for Canada as its first viable Jet airliner, Bombardier is also successful in its business class Jets!. In recent years Swiss Air has seen a potential new market for the Bombardier biz jet in short haul and low seating capacity and the CS100 meets their needs.

Delta Airlines in the U.S. has also seen a gap in the market in relation to seating with the new Canadian jet and this will outdo Boeing in relation to their popular Boeing 737 family, types 600/700/800 and the newer version of the 900/MAX.
