As if it wasn't enough to expect us to believe that the Twin Towers could collapse from plane impacts and fire alone, now "THEY" want us to believe that an aircraft could make a perfect landing in a river and everyone could just stroll right out like nothing's wrong.

A brief look at what happened. Firstly, there is no record, to my knowledge, in the database of aviation accidents, in which a commercial jet of that size and capacity has been set down on water that successfully (the engines did indeed break off).

Crosswinds are never easy for even the best of pilots to land in, but this footage shows just how dangerous they can be.

The Irish leasing firm puts in a huge order for the A320, which marks the first big order of 2008 for either Airbus or Boeing (and as this order will not be included in the 2007 count, it seems that it is neck and neck between the two as to who won the 2007 order race).

The 737/A320 replacements, due in less than a decade on present expectations, may be facing some real competition.

Well, I suppose there is not much of a choice if Airbus wants to do business in China, but the technology transfer now occuring is going to eventually bite airbus - and Boeing - where it hurts.

This is a bit far off, but Boeing is simply testing the waters with a 737 replacement. However, the technology that is needed for this is still some years away....unless Boeing does something radical. How radical? Maybe something like a BWB.

An interesting perspective that soemhow fails to take into account the RRJ/Superjet that is only a few weeks away from protoype unveiling in Paris.

A good little nibbler for Airbus: Air France is the world's premier airline (by revenue...certainly not by service standards!), but it is a solid mid level player and the natural home customer of Airbus.

Right now, Boeing and Airbus and flat out with the wide body mid size market (and Airbus still has not sorted out the A380) so there is little room for single aisle new generation technology moving ahead aggressively.

Power8 remains on hold whilst the Germans and the French slug it out, with the likelihood that it could be many months before someone agrees as to how the pain shoudl be shared around.

The low cost carrier is a favourite of Airbus, being an American based low cost carrier that is loyal to Boeing's great rival. Rumours keep persisting that this order was initially going to be 25 aircraft, but the 30 number was secured at the last minute.

With 1014 net orders for 2006: Boeing wins, wins easy by numbers and wins even more so by order value. No surprises here, but Boeing cannot afford to rest on its laurels: the Airbus A320 series is doing very well and the A380 also seems to have resolved some issues.

The A320 has always been a runaway success and the A380 is clawing back some confidence, but the crucial tets for Airbus will be with its A350--XWB, which thus far has not enjoyed an overly rapturous reception in the market. However, it's early days yet...

Despite the problems of Airbus in general, the A320 single aisle has been an unquestioned winner, with the 3,000th plane about to be delivered - fittingly to a low cost carrier.

NEW YORK (Dec. 14, 2006) – JetBlue Airways (Nasdaq: JBLU) today announces it will remove a row of seats from its Airbus 320 fleet and reconfigure the cabin with at least 36-inch pitch in rows 1-11, and at least 34-inch pitch in rows 12-25.

Airbus owes a lot to its A320, which has now enabled it to say it has not been totally slaughtered by Boeing in the order race for 2006.

Despite the problems with its larger aircraft, the A320 continues to enjoy outstanding support in the market and consequtently Airbus is raising output. The cash flow from this plane may well be enough to get Airbus out of trouble with the A350-XWB and A380 issues.

The Germans will go ballistic if A380 production is taken away from Hamburg without adequate compensation in the form of more A320 work.
