Boeing outsourcing of software development

Much has been written about the 737Max's problems, but this topic has hardly been mentioned. The author writes for Bloomberg, but this was published in the Sydney Morning Herold. (www.smh.com.au) さらに...

Review of Airbus 220

Delta has begun using the A220. The passenger reviews are pretty darn good. Can't comment on cockpit features. As long as they don't fall out of the air, airlines will give this plane a good look. Fuel savings are huge. (www.businessinsider.com) さらに...

Boeing now has 787 problems

Boeing woes just increased with FAA review of potential problems with its 787. This is the fallout when you try to hide something. Government agencies just look in more places. Best guess is there are more whistle blowers just waiting to tell their stories. (www.dailymail.co.uk) さらに...
