Paper on video “21st century jet”
In this paper, I would like to discuss on the video, “21st century jet.” This video is about the launching and testing of the airplane by the Boeing company, 777.The 777 family is designed to fill the size gap between the 767 and 747.The head of the 777 project is Allen Millaley, who promised to do many things which are impossible, produced the plane which is more reliable than any other plane in the aviation history. The first large passenger jet designed completely by computer, the 777 is more complex and innovative than any other airliner ever built.
The important thing in this project was, at the peak of the design effort, there were 238 teams using computing technology to design the 777.Design engineers and manufacturing engineers worked concurrently on the design of parts to decrease later change orders and to increase efficiency in building and installing those parts. Outside suppliers and airline customers also are represented on some teams. According to one of the supervisor of a team, the traditional way of bringing problem is testing and more testing. Boeing 777 is the most tested airplane in the aviation history. Operations of flight controls, the reliability of electronics, all of these things tested and retested by the teams of engineers. Boeing has built new laboratory for 777 in which 10000 workers worked. The engineers did the first ground test of 777 in Nov’93. During the first testing flight only the pilot and co pilot were on board. The problem occurred during the first test flight was the hydraulic leakage on the left side.
After the first flight, several meetings held in which engineers tried to figure out the problem they had during the first test flight. After that the engineers made the successful testing flight. The Boeing 777-300, earned type certification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), on May 4, 1998. The jet also received FAA approval for 180-minute extended-range, twin-engine operations (ETOPS). This marks the first time any airplane manufacturer has received both approvals on the same day. The certification formally recognizes that the 777-300 has successfully passed all of the stringent testing and safety requirements of the regulatory agencies and is ready to enter passenger service.
Airlines all around the world have to look into different types of aircrafts that best fit their needs for their passengers and the distance between destinations. Boeing and Airbus, two of the world’s biggest commercial airplane manufactures in the world have been competing to get airlines attention on when they are looking to expand their airplane fleet. This competition has been characterized as a duopoly in the large airliner market since the early nineties has when a series of mergers in the aerospace manufacture industry merged or ceased operation. Today we have to look at both competitors to see who has best airplanes in the jet airliner market. Both Airbus and Boeing have a wide product spectrum ranging between wide and narrow body aircrafts covering many combinations of capacity and range. These two companies compete head to head with similar airplanes and styles. With the upcoming generation of young pilots coming into the aviation industry, the market needs high tech airplanes for airlines to buy to help this new generation move in to place. When airlines are looking at new planes to buy, they need to look at all the different types of planes that covers range and capacity. Airlines have to make a decision on what best fits their needs when deciding between a Boeing aircraft and an Airbus aircraft.
This assignment is going to be a research regarding the crash of Crossair flight 3597 at Zurich Airport on 24 November 2001, the objective of this assignment is to reflect, list and justify 3 contributing factors involved in the accident within the flight operations context. Another objective of this assignment is to show how we can learn from this accident, and at the same time prevent any future accidents that might be similar to this accident.
Most of us see aviation as a means of transportation and an alternate mode of travel. Boeing’s businesses are clearly doing one of the things that core businesses are suppose to do. They are making lots of cash. For many years Boeing has been the leader, earning an average cash flow of a billion dollars or more each year. This gives lots of options to maximize shareholders values. This company just seems to have lots of outside areas of interest too. Maybe you’re bored sitting around the house and had a craving for some pizza. Did you ever wonder how it’s stays so hot in twenty minutes after the drive leaves the restaurant? It’s the space-age thermal incubator, one of the many things the food industry acquired from Boeing space and communication program. There were two events that made a significant change in the history of modern aviation. The Wright Brother’s first flight and William Boeing, born October 1, 1881 in Detroit, Michigan. He was the founder, owner, President, and Chairman of the board from 1916-1934. He took advantage, in 1903, of small risky ventures and made a big financial gain. He lived until 1956 long enough to see the company go into the jet age.
To achieve the above goals and fulfil Boeing’s mission, the following objectives will guide company:
The year is 1939 the Boeing 314 Clipper has just been introduced. This is the first double decker plane ever introduced for the commercial market. It is able to carry seventy-four passengers in total comfort. Only twelve of these beautiful planes have ever been produced, and nine of those have been sold straight to Pan American World Airways also known as Pan Am. Today is the opening day to introduce the new airliner and show off all of its advancements in aviation. The pilot is Captain Derik Segar; he has been flying for over 17 years and has been with Pan Am since they first opened their company in 1927. The Co-Pilot is Michael DèGrasse; he has also been with the company since they first started in 1927. These are the company’s
Even though Boeing has done many works to reduce cost, there are some overcosted programs that is being a drag on Boeing. Although Boeing 767 jetliner provide a platform for KC-46 Tanker programs to save parts of cost, but the cost still overruns. The original budget for KC-46 is $536 million, but the actual cost is $835 million. And the KC-46 has been delayed for several times. The reason is a mislabeled chemical was inaccurately loaded into the aircraft’s refueling line before testing. “This was not the first time first flight has been delayed. The event was initially slated for 2014, then pushed back to April, then postponed again to later this summer.” (defensenews, 2015) Boeing
Boeing has looked at everything from the design of the anti-collision lights, to the reduction of small gaps in the airfoil. This has created an aircraft that is extremely aerodynamic and efficient at any task it performs. The 737 was originally created on May 11, 1964, however it wasn’t until November 9, 1964 that production was officially approved. On February 19th 1965 Lufthansa placed its first order for the 737-100, and on the 9th of April 1967 the 737 flew for the first time. In 1970, Boeing had less than 35 orders for the 737 and considered canceling the program.

At the time of the occurrence it had only 22 flight cycles and 169 flight hours. What could have caused such a new aircraft that had passed all flight testing to already have system malfunctions? Too further complicate matters; this was the first of two similar issues in a 9 day span that caused the eventual grounding of the entire fleet of 787s. Poor design and quality control of components were at the root of the problem. In addition, the FAA had insufficient guidance when certifying the systems’ airworthiness. All these issues combined led to incident that could have been much worse. Fortunately
The airline’s Wi-Fi-enabled flight is one of the most satisfying features of the customers (Belobaba, Odoni & Barnhart, 2009). The feature will serve to restore the lost glory of the Asiana airlines. The ethical issues involved in the customer experience aspect include the need for creation of a favorable environment through the provision of the woman only lavatory is a crucial ethical aspect, which ensures that the women are afforded the respect they deserve. In-flight connectivity is one of the greatest innovations many other airlines are trying to realize since it makes the experiences memorable. The air transport framework is a major financial complex, which incorporates aircraft, which execute traveler and cargo movement and air exercises, all aeronautical designing, specialists, which give operation of aircraft. The abnormal state of flight security of innovative flying machines depends both on the aircraft, and on capability and preparing for a team, which controls the aircraft. The utilitarian effectiveness of a aircraft is dictated by mechanical flawlessness, dependability, controllability, mobility, the furthermore high viability of an airframe, the motor, and the
In 2004, an all-new, outstanding efficient midsize airplane was launched called the 787 Dreamliner; an aircraft that has been said to have a “revolutionary” design. This paper will illustrate the various categories of this aircraft such as primary and secondary structures, controls, materials, construction and assembly methods. Researching this design concept will show why the 787 Dreamliner is better than its other competition in performance, fuel efficiency and why it is the airplane of the future.
My topic is “Physical differences in Boeing Commercial Airplane”. Most people travel on airplanes but do not know what type of plane they are flying. To some, it is not necessary to research about the plane they will be using. I want to inform people on the changes in the art and the sacrifices made by people all in the name of science to give us, in the present, a safe flight. Planes are not like cars that almost everyone has, which also contributes to why the care for the latest model, the body frame, and the wings that cut through air, are not as popular as the new Kia’s four door car or a Lamborghini.
In 1990 Boeing was set to introduce the 777, the world’s largest and longest haul twin-bodied jet at the time. The 777 would serve the medium and long haul markets like the expanding Asian market. Boeing’s main competitors, Airbus Industries and McDonnell Douglas, had already announced plans to produce airliners that would compete directly with the 777. Analysts believed that the intense competition between the manufacturers would serve to depress prices for the airliners. Lower prices for aircraft would mean lower earnings.
In the transition period from propeller aircraft to jet aircraft, manufactures faced numerous problems and challenges during the design and test period. New technologies and test criteria were used. Using new kinds of wings and high lift devices were one of the solutions they came up with. Utilizing new materials made high speeds possible. The jet airplane allowed more passengers to be transferred efficiently and safely making flying in reach of the general public.
