While there’s been much talk about the new Delta One Suites on their A350-900s or the first A350-1000 delivered to Qatar Airways this year, it was the A350 vertical takeoff that had heads turning last month at ILA Berlin 2018.

In A Surprise, Boeing Loses Their Case Against Bombardier
Boeing lost a key vote in their case against Bombardier. The International Trade Commission ruled that Bombardier didn’t violate international trade law. This opens the door for Bombardier to sell directly to US-based airlines, though they’ve chosen to form a joint venture with Airbus instead

I’ll admit, I somehow missed that Airbus and Bombardier talked about a tie-up on the C Series a couple years ago. That would have made yesterday’s announcement a bit less surprising to me. I can’t tell if Boeing saw this coming. And, I can’t really say what’s going to happen next.

Asked Again. Is The Boeing 747 Extinct?
The Boeing 747 has been an iconic figure in aviation history. Making the likes of Pan Am possible, it’s been featured in movies, flown Presidents hundreds of thousands of miles and been a workhorse of the freight industry for decades.
