Aged aircraft, after UPS Kentucky!

 Ten years after date to Withdraw? 

The sad loss of the MD-11 in Louisville was a disaster waiting to happen, was it fatigue or bad maintenance that one engine fell off this UPS air freighter on take-off for Europe!

When these aircraft come to the end of their commercial life, they become cargo planes and will probably fly until this incident and lost of goods?

What is to become of this aged fleet, the breakers yard for spare parts or just scrap, or other ground uses, bars, homes!

But the laws may need to be changed to end these classics for other withdrawn aircraft and a limited flying time them before dismantling?

Boeing sales Down!

 Poor build and management?

People are no longer wanting to travel on the Boeing 737-MAX, after various accidents and incidents and no one wants to buy, since Embraer and Airbus are taking the market with better more reliable aircraft that meets the needs of most airlines.

Meanwhile Boeing is holding its ground with the 787-8/9/10 Dreamliner, and 777X for their long-haul capabilities matching the Airbus A.330-900 and the A.350-900/1000 respectively.

But despite the popularity of the airbus 320/321N/NX, Embraer is taking the market with its E190/195 jets?

The military market for Boeing is doing well with the MR Posidon and Embraer with their EMB-390 transport, but Airbus holds the ground in air tankers based on the A330.

Boeing Demise?

Boeing 737-MAX.

Boeing had started to replace several of its older types of aircraft such as the 757, 767, first generation 777 and the long time workhorse of the manufacturer the 737 generation in the hope that the newer Max series would lead the filed along with the 787-10 and 777X!

But two accidents earlier this year scuppered that plan and even the 747-400/8 is still in demand from the second had market. Technical issues with the new computers keep failing with serious glitches and other problems are coming to the fore with the 777X which was to be the 747 replacement?

But Boeing will pull through since it has a large overtake stake in the Brazilian Embraer company and its new business jet developments and various military exploits involving Israel!

Nano Technology.

Shrinking Computing.

With this ''around a long time technology'' a breakthrough in its use, is allowing it to be adapted and fitted to a host of systems! Space will be one of its best platforms to shrinking Satellite sizes, even down to that of the newish basic computers?

These basic computers have been around for a while and they allow the ability to connect other devices such as screens, storage devices, printers and other! This means that the days of the laptop may be coming to an end?

Power and computing capacity still remains a problem and the return of the desktop is coming back, but this is perhaps due to thefts of mobile phones and the 2 in ones which is lucrative for criminals in relation to on-line banking!
