It was heavier than planned. But the technology they developed helped them in defense contracts. - Ric Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:29:06 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9238/1/#pc_14053 you seen star ship one prop job very nice several others are out by dick rutan that are making big waves in the air sales - forrest allen brown Sat, 12 Apr 2008 20:48:03 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9238/1/#pc_14026 Just got back from a few weeks in the good old USA. Neverland from the air: looks to be in need of maintenance. There is a new emphasis in reading everything back to controllers and tower guys. They may install traffic lights at airport intersections, for the planes! A number of previously complicated procedures such as DME arc approaches have been simplified. What may be bad news for EMB: the pure jet commuter plane is in serious trouble. The only turboprop EMB makes is the Tucano, right? Well, costs trump comfort. the ERJ 135, 140, 145/Legacy series, what Embraer makes most of, over 1000 total, is precisely the type of plane that may soon be parked in the sun at Mojave whilst the two remaining makers of turboprop commuter jets, which are significantly cheaper to operate, are getting orders due to big jumps in fuel costs. Big airlines are trying to shed their commuter subsidiaries anyway. No way that the business guys are giving up their jets for props, though. - Ric Thu, 10 Apr 2008 20:22:17 +0100
