New Airplanes Set To Fly In The New Year

-

2017 is expected to bring in new fleet of airplanes from the major airline manufacters. From Airbus to Boeing, the new year is set to witness some of the great innovations in the work of technology.

Airbus flaunts new designs

 Airbus has new planes which it sets to flaunt in the market this year. The air manufacturer is bringing in A321neo, A319neo, A330neo, A350-1000 for the first time into the airspace.

A330neo: Airbus is expected to fly its A330neo next year. Neo stands for "new engine option." The A330, a two-decade old design, is getting a makeover with new engines and new wingtips to boost its range and fuel efficiency.

A321neo: The second member of Airbus's revamped single-aisle family, the A321neo, will enter service in 2017. It's the largest member of the updated A320neo family. Airbus hopes the jet, which seats up to 240 passengers, will replace the out-of-production Boeing 757, an aging transcontinental workhorse for U.S. airlines. Airbus has a significant sales lead with the A321neo.

A319neo: The smallest member of the A320neo family is expected to fly for the first time in 2017, but demand for it isn't great. The smallest offerings from both Boeing and Airbus have received few orders because airlines are opting for larger and more fuel efficient models

A350-1000: The A350-1000 made its first flight in France in late November, and Airbus has been accelerating its testing of the plane. The ihl-seat long-range airliner is the biggest twin-engine jet Airbus has ever designed and is the second member of the A350 family.




Also Boeing Too

Boeing is considering new designs to keep its customers. The famous airline producer is set to launch the following:

737 Max 8: After five years in development, the first 737 Max will be delivered to Southwest Airlines in the first half of 2017.

Boeing's fourth-generation single-aisle plane has two new engines and a new tail section and winglets -- designed to cut fuel consumption by 14%. The Max 8 is the first of four 737 Max models Boeing is designing. a

787-10-10 The 320-seat airliner, made mostly of fiber carbon, is coming together inside the company's plant in North Charleston, South Carolina.
The 787-10 won't fly as far as its two smaller Dreamliner siblings because airlines preferred fuel efficiency over range.

Comac, Also, United Aircraft Also

 C919: China's first big airliner will be flown in 2017. The Comac C919 is aimed to compete with the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. Earlier this week, Comac cleared a hurdle when its engines were approved by U.S. and European authorities.

The aircraft was originally supposed to fly in 2014, but the project has been repeatedly delayed due to China's relative inexperience in developing commercial airliners.

Circa 2022: Time for a New Beginning

Did you buy that car, land or house you hoped to get in 2021? Did you acquire that visa, wife, job or contract you had dreamt to have in 2021? Did you loose that weight, gained that body, achieved that look or shape you set out to have at the beginning of the year 2021? For some others, there are endless list of plans they'd envisaged to achieve as the year 2021 begun. Did you achieve them? Kudos! If you did not achieve them, don't bother and don't get demoralized. Even as the year gave opportunity to grow, it was similarly and very visibly traumatic: the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanied effects of recession, inflation and economic summersaults continued to have their biting effects on almost every sphere. It is quite understandable. Nonetheless, your being alive is enough assurance that you could achieve them in the new year, 2022; and you'd so do if you're willing to trust the process and try again. Clutch them along and move with them, but this time around a

Year End: The Crossroad of a New Year

-

The ending of a year brings a binary fusion of emotions: that of stocktaking and that of expectations. The year is ending, so it's essentially right to look back and take an appraisal of what the year ending has turned out for the individual. At the same time, the year rolling out, is obviously an indication that a new one is being launched, hence it'll also be right to make plans and designs of how the new year is to be approached. Credit: Shutterstock The year 2021 began with many of us clutching tightly our expectations and plans already and willing to execute them. Many of us made resolutions, be they financial, spiritual, personal- all geared towards making us better versions of ourselves and contributing effectively to our spheres of influence. Indeed, 2021 afforded us the rudimentary 365days to make do with the plans/aspirations we had in it; and it's within this period, as it winds down, that it becomes incumbent to check and analyse our victories, failures and near

KEMI ADEOSUN: Looking Beyond The 'Honourable' Resignation

-

Very applauding, it was, to hear of the news of the resignation of the minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun. It's very commendable because it is one act very rare in this our clime. It just seems that the penchant for relevance and money has denied the vast majority of the people that essential sense of integrity. That denial is one that has brought about the desire to cling unto power even in the midst of opprobrious criticism to just step down. We've had several instances were public officials formed deaf ears to scathing allegations against their persons and offices until some powers force them out. The case of the erstwhile SGF, Babachir remains atypical.  One can now understand why Kemi's step is such remarkable and verily one that needs to be commended. But the truth is that, as easily obtained in the western world, taking an exit when the heat is on and there's suspicion here and there is but a natural thing. This is to say, even as much as we could appreci
