Boeing 787 – A Dream or A Nightmare?
The Boeing 787 is a twin-engine long-range widebody aircraft developed in the early 2000s. Packed with new innovations and technology, the aircraft started commercial operations with ANA on October 26, 2011. Boeing chose the name Dreamliner in 2003, which would eventually be a game-changer for many airlines. Enabling routes that weren't possible for aircraft of […]

Airbus A321neo, including the LR and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, are already used widely to operate long-haul narrow-body flights. Long-haul narrow-body flights typically cost lower trip costs than widebody aircraft. They're easier […]

Video: Inside the New Irkut MC-21 and Luxury Sukhoi Business Jet
At Dubai Airshow 2021, I visited Irkut MC-21. This is the MC-21 International debut. Check out the airframe, cabin, cockpit, and testing station. I interviewed an engineer onboard the MC-21. They revealed the MC-21 will be entering service in 2022 with Rossiya Airlines. The modern MC-21 cabin resembles Airbus 320 or Boeing 737. Can the new MC-21 be a serious challenge to the dominated Airbus/Boeing on the narrow body market?
The Irkut MC-21 (Russian: Иркут МС-21) is a single-aisle airliner, developed by the Yakovlev Design Bureau and produced by its parent Irkut, a branch of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) in Russia.
Next, I checked out a Sukhoi SuperJet (SSJ) in VIP configuration branded as Aurus Business Jet. The interior of Sukhoi is similar to the western counterpart, with tablets to control all the functions of interiors. The price will vary from $39 million to $50 million, significantly cheaper than other private jets in the same category.
