Japan is just getting a new commercial passenger jet certified right now. First in fifty years for the Japanese. Actually built by one of their old line airplane companies.

I would tend to agree with your statement. Yet Boeing built a plant on the east coast that is non unionized. They did not allow experienced unionized workers from the west coast to work there. So Boeing just picked up people from trade schools. Plus where they could find them to build the east coast version of the Dreamliner. There are some issues with that plant right now but they will get dealt with. .

If it is reliable and cheap enough I think a Chinese passenger plane is far from impossible. As well as others.They build what I believe are adaquate enough fighter planes already.

I do not know of course but Boeing may source parts out of China as well already. Perhaps Airbus as well.

Boeing's strength was their work force that had 100 years of family workers involvement. On the west coast.

Russia also has a new passenger plane out. Time will tell of course. Remember Airbus has taken a sizable proportion of the market and in general are probably acceptable aircraft. Jet passenger planes have been around long enough. There is not as much work to develop a new one. Compared to years ago. Certain things have become standardized with time. Of course with the clever sanctions against Russia they will already have stopped buying Boeing products.

I think sanctions are also to slow down the supplying of things like American avionics for those new Russian commercial planes. Russia has started a new large electronic manufacturing sector. I suspect to reduce the import of Chinese electronics. The sanctions may force them to use other avionics systems in their passenger jets.

All the new manufacturing companies will be looking for volume sales. So pricing may become a large factor. It will probably hurt Boeing and airbus to some extent.

A little bit of exercise is good, don't over do it, none of us are kids anymore .

I spent yesterday out in the dang sun chasing W123 parts, have to give the last 1/3 of the day off .

Began again before sunup this morning and was finished for the day by 09:30 when it began to be scorching hot again....

I'm sure you know damp or wet grass dulls the mower blade quickly.....

Too hot to do much to - day, I watered the cactus' on the West side of the house and stayed inside until it got too dang hot, bailed and went to see my Sweet where it's marginally cooler .

Sweating is always good for you as it gets toxins out of your blood stream , muscles and so on .

I hate it but it's a natural thing .

Why I try to begin working just before dawn .

Of in the late afternoon when the heat breaks .
