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did not do so well as the 200, but the Europeans must see a market for the 300 series as older aircraft are being withdrawn and scrapped!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

PAC-750!

 A New Zealand Wonder?

The development of this aircraft has opened the aviation market up to this southern nation and now the type originally for New Zealand and Papua New-Guinea is operating also in Australia and Israel.

With a crew of two and nine passengers it has multiple roles, but in the parachute version it can cram seventeen people in and for other operations, it has a STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) capability making it very versatile?

There are at least two versions developed over the past twenty years the latter being up rated and able to handle in a better way than before, but both types are equally good aircraft and have both military and civilian usage and may the type continue perhaps with a two engine capability?
