Now that American includes US Airways, note that US airways operates a number of types lacking in American fleet.
American shall therefore be busy, not just repainting the US airways planes, but grinding away the old layers of paint to expose the shiny aluminum and carbon fibre composites.
Could someome make and post pictures of the new AA types?
These are:
Airbus 319
Airbus 320
Airbu
I can find no ARJ21 images, either called real or fake. It is flying, so probably real.
Can someone do ARJ21 in the livery of its launch customer Chengdu Airlines? It is due to be certified next September, and enter into service at the end of 2011:
Another question is airplane types. It can be difficult to check what is an accidental misprint and what is a deliberate modification for a fake aircraft.
Definition of real and fake aircraft is unclear as well.
The rumour is moving around that O´Leary tried to buy 300 A320s and Airbus refused to sell. Ryanair has attempted to buy 200 737-s and Boeing had refused.
The one remaining mainliner manufacturer is Tupolev ;-) Can anyone make a Tu-204 in Ryanair livery? I could not find such a photo.
Japan needs new VIP planes. Their existing fleet is a pair of 747-400s which are kind of expensive to fly short range. Mitsubishi Regional Jet would be perfect - small, efficient and Japanese:
Can someone do MRJ70 with the VIP livery of Japan Air Force?
Since ANA is supposed to get 787-8 this year, and they famously have Pokemon livery, could someone do ANA Pokemon 787-8? (A fancy livery for 787 that exist seems to feature whales, not Pokemon.)
This plane:
no longer exists. Nor do the 96 souls that were abroad when it crashed. Including all five top commanders of Polish army.
It does not actually mean there was anything wrong with the plane, or that there is anything wrong with its mate (undergoing maintenance with Tupolev). Lew Kaczynsky had the track record of sending his previous pilot to court martial for refusing to land in T
Baroness Ashton needs her own plane:
Surely van Rompuy deserves his plane, too? And Barroso as well.
What would the respective liveries of those EU VIPs look like? Could someone design liveries for those, on suitable airframes?
Irkut chose Pratt and Whitney geared turbofans as an engine option on MS-21:
MS-21-400 shall require engines of 15 600 kgf each. The biggest PW GTF previously launched was the engine for CS300, at 10 500 kgf thrust. And Cseries needs fan diametre of 185 cm.
How big fans shall MS-21 have?
Second airline bought Boeing 747-800:
Note:
So far, nobody has bought 747-800 instead of A380. Both the 747-800 customers bought A380 too, KE this year.
Boeing has now sold more VLAs than Airbus this year - Airbus a total of four (2 to Korean, 2 to Outre Mer 380), Boeing five all to KE.
I could not find any KE 747-800 in the database. Since it is a real plane now, will anyone do t
Sonair is an airline which flies the Houston Express, between Houston and Luanda. This they do with a luxury MD-11, fitted with 12 seats in First Class, 78 seats in Business Class and just 23 in Economy.
Now they have received a 747-481 which is supposed to fly the same route and receive similar luxury interior:
Could someone make a Sonair 747-481 in their Houston Express livery?
And f
The plane shall fly today:
But none of the A330-200F pictures I could find in the database had the conspicuous bump under nose. Nor could I see any in the livery of the launch customer Etihad.
Can someone make this plane right?
MRJ and Cseries are actually not very close competitors.
Maximum seat capacity, high-density single class:
MRJ70 - 78
MRJ90 - 92
CS100 - 125
CS300 - 145
Range at full passenger payload:
shortest MRJ MRJ70STD 1590 km
longest MRJ MRJ70LR 3410 km
CSeries non-ER 4070 km
Cseries ER 5460 km
MTOW:
MRJ70STD 36 850 kg
MRJ90LR 42 800 kg
CS100 54 930 kg
CS300ER 63 320 kg

The plane remains unfrozen for another ten months, and EIS is delayed into 2014. Composite wing is dumped and replaced by aluminum one. The fuselage is also changed, expanding cabin height from 198 to 204 cm and width from 264 to 276 cm. A stretch variant shall be added. Belly hold is also dumped, baggage can only go in tail. That means presumably no belly cargo doors (check your MRJ pho
Founded by a boy of 17, as Adam Tait, David Rich and Anita Dash:
Fleet of 12, incl. BaE 146-200.
What should his livery be? And what should his other 11 planes be?
I have seen some A380 pictures here with engines dropped or added, but those were nonsensical ones.
But planes dead seriously can carry an extra engine. Like a 747 with 5 engines - many images, but for example:
Trijets can do it, too. Like Tristar:
In all cases, the extra engine goes inboard of the inboard engine, with an unusual form of pylon.
Could someone make an image of a 5 eng

For reference:

What shall you do about new types of regional jets - CRJ-1000, An-148, Sukhoi Superjet, ARJ-21, Tu-334, Mitsubishi Regional Jet?
