You can't keep building aircraft without looking at the costs in a market that keeps getting more and more competitive.

I have enjoyed four episodes of the show so far, including this one. They have been both educational and entertaining. I do have one small comment, however. When the names and positions of the experts are displayed on the screen, it is only for a very short period. I find it difficult to read their names and positions before they disappear. To fully take in the information, I must either pause or replay the show. It would be helpful if the display lasted for at least 6-10 seconds. Nevertheless, keep up the great work, and I look forward to more rollouts of other episodes!

I have loved getting into 787. Have flown on it on multiple occasions.

Interesting document o. how to build a new airplane in a revolutionary way where Boeing outsourced manufacturing in a scale never done before.Acting as system integrator mainly. Must amaze the challenge of logistics combined with quality control of scattered manufacturing and deliveries too. It was yruly bad planning miss, what happened with the wing design. What happened to those engineers respondible for the mistake? But they fixed it,3 yrs late, which both reputation and huge amount of money. But amazing procesd of re-design. Have fleen few times with Dreamliner, and it has been, although not any more the newest design, the most pleasant flying experience in many respects :breathing air, quietness, nice cabin design. And avoiding to land to big hubs, if heading elsewhere. ✈️. Love that plane. 👍

I took a flight on the Dreamliner early in its introduction, from LA to Houston. It was an amazing aircraft. But the computer glitches were scary. While taxiing and then as the plane was actually climbing into the sky, the pilot had to reset the computers a few times, and in the cabin this means computer screens and interior lighting would cycle through resets which was all kind of flickering of lights and screens. It was like a Disney light show. .. and I would still fly it any chance I can, airbus makes great planes, but the Dreamliner is just a great experience.

It's amazing to realize that Boeing was regularly spanked by Douglas and Lockheed until the 707. Since then their reading of the "Tea Leaves" has been nothing short of phenomenal. The Tea Leaves being market research folks. Boeing saw that the old Hub and Spoke setup was on it's way out and the need for gigantic jets to feed the hubs was dead.

[@WorldEye88]

40:11 it becomes quite evident, however that Airbus was able to come up with the A350 at a much faster pace than Boeing. Boeing had to go through a very difficult phases, during the design of the prototype and the construction of the first aircraft, and the delivery of its first aircraft. Airbus had it much more smooth. The question is what made it easier for Airbus to do it.

[@gguerra375]

The answer is the A-350 is not really a completely new design just has some composites mixed in and has about 30% less composite materials than the B-787. Thats the reason they can't touch the B-787 in performance or sales. Between the A-330 and the A-350 both only account for about 10% of the total sales of the B-787.

[@aerohk]

Airbus did not outsource the design like Boeing did.

[@OerlikonNoerd]

Airbus does a lot more of the design and assembly work inhouse. Airbus has had a decentralized network of factories and supplier networks since its inception so they have more experience building planes in that manner. Also most of airbus's suppliers are located in Europe and not spread out around the world. Additionally the A350 uses a less complex design than the 787: smaller composite panels for the fuselage instead of entire sections of autoclaved fuselage, and a more "traditional" pneumatic bleed air system vs the 787's more advanced electrical bleedless system, just to name a few

[@raymond3803]

@@gguerra375 The answer is ............ Boeing spent too much time re-branding the deadly 737. With a teeny tiny little 7, great big 3, great big 7 (that looks like a 2) Then adding a capitol "O."

36:17 "we had never had our planes grounded in history" this was 3 years before MAX.

[@TinLeadHammer]

And they haven't even fixed the MAX completely.

[@txbill2512]

Haha, that's false. No chance the FAA let's the Max fly nor would the airlines fly them if they weren't "completely fixed." @@TinLeadHammer

@@txbill2512 Tons of info about it. Read Seattle Times for example. Let me quote for you: "As Boeing was transitioning from its 737 NG model to the 737 MAX, the company altered the labeling and the purpose of the stabilizer cutout switches. On the newer 737 MAX, according to documents reviewed by The Times, those two switches were changed to perform the same function - flipping either one of them would turn off all electric controls of the stabilizer. That means there is no longer an option to turn off automated functions - such as MCAS - without also turning off the thumb buttons the pilots would normally use to control the stabilizer." What does it mean? It means that if the company had maintained the switch design from the 737 NG, Boeing could have instructed pilots to simply flip the “AUTO PILOT” switch to deactivate MCAS and continue flying with the normal trim buttons on the control wheel. With the MAX wiring this is not possible. On the MAX, this wiring has not been converted to the NG setup, you can check the documents what has been fixed. They added another angle of attack sensor, they ensured both computers run simultaneously, but the switches have not been reverted to NG design. Thus, I don't fly on the MAX. I check the airline and the flight that they operate a different aircraft, even the older 737 NG is better.

I've been on several Dreamliner flights so far. Since the economy section was designed to accommodate 2-4-2, I'm sorry to say that almost all airlines squeeze in 3-3-3. It's a very uncomfortable ride, despite it's considerable technological achievements. Nowadays, I buy a ticket in Premium Plus (United), but it's expensive and most people can't afford it.

The CACs on the 787 aren’t so durable? What do you think about it?

[@vspa]

36:16 what about the 737 MAX ? (so this video must be prior to that)

[@edutaimentcartoys]

nice video

[@joe2mercs]

The 787 was an exercise in outsourcing. It cost more than twice its predicted development budget, it was years late being launched and when it finally entered service it had safety issues that were so concerning that it was grounded pending resolution. Recently the FAA discovered issues with 787 manufacturing quality that delayed deliveries to customers until Boeing could put them right. Meanwhile Airbus built its competitor A350 aircraft largely in-house, on time, with a budget less than half that spent on the 787 and has had a flawless record of operation and production. The 787 development cost spiral, the fiasco of the 737 MAX MCAS and the massive delays to the 777X program has left scars on the confidence of Boeing management. I would not be surprised if successive management teams at Boeing milk as much money as they can out of its existing aircraft designs until the company has painted itself into a corner and is unable to finance the development of any new designs. Boeing once epitomised the ‘can do’ approach to aircraft development. No chest beating or bells and whistles Airbus is simply getting on and ‘doing it right’. Boeing has no excuses with vast amounts of tax payers money supporting its aviation design and materials R&D at NASA, a monopoly on supplying the US airforce contracts and preferential tax breaks from states in which it assembles its aircraft. Airbus has to cross every T and dot every i of a socialist European regulatory bureaucracy but the discipline of doing so has honed it into becoming the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer.

[@nigelcairns6203]

So why are these marvels of engineering grounded again?

[@ntag411]

Boeing had it coming, loss of JAL (Japan Airlines) as the sole brand/supplier. JAL did not change brands at the time of flight 123 crash probably because the options at the time were limited. That crash is memorable to anyone having any interest in commercials jets.
