SINGAPORE - Singapore-based aircraft leasing company BOC Aviation canceled an order for 30 Boeing 737 MAX jets that have been globally grounded for more than a year following two deadly crashes.

The lessor, which is based in Singapore and listed in Hong Kong, will also defer the delivery of some other Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, it said in a statement.

BOC is the latest lessor to strike deals with Boeing to cancel 737 MAX orders as the jet remains grounded pending regulatory approval following two crashes.

"We discussed with Boeing what is the best way to deploy our capital in a time like this because everyone realizes this is not a short term downturn, it is a long one,"

First Russian MD-160

These ekranoplans were intended to launch high-speed attacks on hostile surface warships, while using their low-level flight profile and speed to enhance their survivability

Russia's only Project 903 Lun class ekranoplan, a type of wing-in-ground-effect craft, recently floated out onto the Caspian Sea for the first time in decades and probably for the last time ever.

Designed by the Soviet Union during the latter stages of the Cold War as a high-speed anti-ship missile craft, it only saw very limited service and is now going on display at Patriot Park in the city of Derbent in Russia's semi-autonomous republic of Dagestan.

The Independent Pilots Association (IPA), which represents the global freight carrier's cockpit crew, wants the US company to only use volunteer staff to fly to Hong Kong, which is battling a surge in Covid-19 infections.

Boom Supersonic Picks An Engine Manufacturer

July 31, 2020 - by Seth Miller for paxex.aero

Should the Boom Supersonic jet take flight later this decade there's a very strong chance it will be powered by Rolls-Royce engines. The companies announced "an engagement agreement to explore the pairing of a Rolls-Royce propulsion system with Boom's flagship supersonic passenger aircraft, Overture."

While this is not a formal engine model selection it does advance the project and provides further indications as to how the program might take flight.

We've had a series of valuable collaborations and co-locations with Rolls-Royce over the past years to lay the groundwork for this next phase of development. We look forward to building on the progress and rapport that we've already built with our collaboration as we work to refine Overture's design and bring sustainable supersonic transport to passenger travel.
– Blake Scholl, Boom founder and CEO

July 31, 2020 - by Jon Hemmerdinger for flightglobal.com

Boeing intends to deliver a majority of its 450-strong 737 MAX stockpile within one year of resuming deliveries of the still-grounded jet.

Speaking during the company's second-quarter earnings call on 29 July, executives stress that Boeing will prioritise delivery of aircraft already produced, clearing that inventory before focusing on ramping 737 production.

He confirms the inventory stands at "approximately" 450 jets.

Boeing accumulated those aircraft because it continued manufacturing the MAX through most of 2019 despite being unable to deliver the jets due to the grounding...

It's been two and a half years since a passenger plane plummeted near the northern Saskatchewan community of Fond-du-Lac and people are asking why the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) still hasn't publicly announced the cause of the crash.

"I basically have heard what you've heard: not a whole lot," said Fond du Lac Denesuline First Nation Chief Louis Mercredi, adding that he's concerned about the holdup.

"We all need to hear what really caused the plane to go down."

A West Wind Aviation twin-turboprop plane crashed near the fly-in community's airport shortly after takeoff on the evening of Dec. 13, 2017.

Original notes and articles

My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.
