Airbus and Boeing products running behind schedule

[eltib]

I didn't see your response when other guys attack me by thread fucking. Seems your so selective with your outrage. WW1, WW2 has a great deal to to with Airbus building airplanes.

 

Where?

 

Let me name some famous U,K manufacturers.

 

AVRO (Builder of the Lancaster)

De Havilland - (Mosquito) did become part of Airbus

Handley Page (Halifax)

Short (Sterling, and a Flying Boat)

Supermarine - (Spitfire)

Hawker - (Hurricane)

 

BTW where was the USA when the Battle of Britain happened?

 

When the Blitz occured, we were still not in the war.

 

All we gave to the U.K was surplus Light and Medium bombers, and obsolete fighters, on Lend Lease.

 

Go study your history.

[eltib]

The truth can be a bitch. BTW, I forgot to add in the Marshall Plan where we rebuilt Europe.

 

It applied to all the foreign axis powers Bunky, not our allies.

[BigDUSA]

It applied to all the foreign axis powers Bunky, not our allies.

 

The Marshall Plan (from its enactment, officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was the primary program, 1948-52, of the United States for rebuilding and creating a stronger economic foundation for the countries of Western Europe, and repelling the threat of internal communism after World War II. The initiative was named for Secretary of State George Marshall and was largely the creation of State Department officials, especially William L. Clayton and George F. Kennan. George Marshall spoke of the administration's desire to help European recovery in his address at Harvard University in June 1947.[1]

 

The reconstruction plan, developed at a meeting of the participating European states, was established on June 5, 1947. It offered the same aid to the USSR and its allies, but they did not accept it.[2][3] The plan was in operation for four years beginning in April 1948. During that period some USD 13 billion in economic and technical assistance were given to help the recovery of the European countries that had joined in the Organization for European Economic Co-operation. This $13 billion was in the context of a U.S. GDP of $258 billion in 1948, and was on top of $12 billion in American aid to Europe between the end of the war and the start of the Plan.[4]

 

Your the one who needs study history. The Marshall Plan was offered to all the countries in Europe including the USSR.

[BigDUSA]

LOL. BigD's desperate to get his own thread binned to the silly section.

 

Like I said the truth hurts. Poor tommie so sad.

[CheshireTom]

Wasn't your mum a German and dad a Paddy?

[BigDUSA]

Wasn't your mum a German and dad a Paddy?

 

Why do you ask? Could it be your engaging in thread fucking?

I'm surprised I'm the first to comment on this. I bet there are more. Maybe they started in the UK?

There is. Those are the ones that built the most famous british planes of WWII

 

 

Before I forget, I didn't add Bristol that made the Beaufighter.

 

and Armstrong

 

There are more, but made less famous aircraft.

Your forgot the link to validate your claim.

[joekicker]

Interesting little lesson. Thanks. I'd always associated both companies exclusively with Canada, the infamous Avro Arrow and the Beaver-Otter planes for example.

[MrMango]

Your forgot the link to validate your claim.

Do you really think that a internet link validates any claim?

 

From what history he posted seems to be right on with my schooling.

[TheFiend]

Your forgot the link to validate your claim.

 

He cut and pasted from wikipedia.... but BigBunky doesn't know how to use the "Quote" function, or use links!

[BigDUSA]

Seems their are at least two forum members who didn't sleep through history lessons.

[jacko]

Thank God for the European Colonial Powers. Reminds me of King Leopold and his fellow Belgians in the Congo Free State.

And where did you meet them?......

[jacko]

Your the one who needs study history. The Marshall Plan was offered to all the countries in Europe including the USSR.

Or we could use Wikepedia like you. That should be 'You're' by the way.

[eltib]

Seems their are at least two forum members who didn't sleep through history lessons.

 

That's why I got an A- in Modern Europe, because I didn't sleep.

So you took a history course in school but you still got it wrong about the Marshall Plan.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner Completes First Flight

All-new Boeing Airplane Touches Down Safely After 3-Hour Mission

 

 

SEATTLE, Dec. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Boeing (NYSE: BA) 787 Dreamliner took to the sky for the first time today, ushering a new era in air travel as it departed before an estimated crowd of more than 12,000 employees and guests from Paine Field in Everett, Wash. The flight marks the beginning of a flight test program that will see six airplanes flying nearly around the clock and around the globe, with the airplane's first delivery scheduled for fourth quarter 2010.

 

The newest member of the Boeing family of commercial jetliners took off from Paine Field in Everett, Wash. at 10:27 a.m. local time. After approximately three hours, it landed at 1:33 p.m. at Seattle's Boeing Field.

 

787 Chief Pilot Mike Carriker and Capt. Randy Neville tested some of the airplane's systems and structures, as on-board equipment recorded and transmitted real-time data to a flight-test team at Boeing Field.

 

After takeoff from Everett, the airplane followed a route over the east end of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Capts. Carriker and Neville took the airplane to an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,572 meters) and an air speed of 180 knots, or about 207 miles (333 kilometers) per hour, customary on a first flight.

 

"Today is truly a proud and historic day for the global team who has worked tirelessly to design and build the 787 Dreamliner - the first all-new jet airplane of the 21st century," said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager of the 787 program. "We look forward to the upcoming flight test program and soon bringing groundbreaking levels of efficiency, technology and passenger comfort to airlines and the flying public."

 

Powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines, the first Boeing 787 will be joined in the flight test program in the coming weeks and months by five other 787s, including two that will be powered by General Electric GEnx engines.

 

The 787 Dreamliner will offer passengers a better flying experience and provide airline operators greater efficiency to better serve the point-to-point routes and additional frequencies passengers prefer. The technologically-advanced 787 will use 20 percent less fuel than today's airplanes of comparable size, provide airlines with up to 45 percent more cargo revenue capacity and present passengers with innovations that include a new interior environment with cleaner air, larger windows, more stowage space, improved lighting and other passenger-preferred conveniences.

 

Fifty-five customers around the world have ordered 840 787s, making the 787 Dreamliner the fastest-selling new commercial jetliner in history.

Not to disrupt the discussion of history, But, I think the Boeing 787 looks promising. I wonder how long it will be until I fly to Taipei on one.

Ask Scally. He's good with the predictions lark.

[CheshireTom]

And where did you meet them?......

 

Probably in Danang in '67.

The first ones are scheduled to be delivered to ANA by late next year (2010). Neither China Air or EVA are on the list of airlines that have placed direct orders with Boeing for the 787. They might lease them, but unlikely as they both usually buy directly from Boeing.

EVA has been buying the Boeing 777-300ER to replace their passenger versions of the 747s.

China Air has purchased several 747-400s over this last decade. In fact, I believe they took delivery of the last 5 passenger versions of the 747-400s ever made, and a dozen or more of the freighter version, so they are not in any hurry to buy new long haul aircraft.

So you took a history course in school but you still got it wrong about the Marshall Plan.

 

I was probably reading my guitar catalogs at the time. When the finals came up I had an "A"

 

Overslept the day of the finals, got an F on the final

 

Grade went to "C" because I didn't take my final

 

But had enough extra credit points, to get an A-

 

Big D, what's your excuse for screwing up on everything else besides the "Marshall Plan?"

 

Give yourself a gold star for little flicker in your light bulb brain.

Once again you make excuses for another of your life's failures and there's been so many. Who cares if your so incompetent in your life you can't get up for finals?

Your comprehension levels are abysmal. I wasn't making excuses for what I did in High School, Idiot. And you're the real failure for not being able to move to Pattaya, like you've claimed the past 3 years.
