Seems to me that two things critical to success.
1) Economy 2) Commonality enabling reduced crew training and ease of servicing. If you can fly one airbus, should be able to fly them all. johnep |

Impressive engines.
Hollow titanium fan blades. Combustion system runs at half the temperature of the surface of the sun. Interesting video... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22904823 |
