Boeing Revolution

Boeing has always been playing a main role in the aviation industry in both commercial and freighter. Just after Airbus introduced its new A320 variant, the NEO, Boeing stepped up with to improve its trusty B747 series fleet which has been announced since 2005.

Incorporating B787 technology engines (GEnx 2B67), the airplane will be quieter, produce lower emissions, and achieve better fuel economy than any competing jetliner. The B747 Intercontinental will provide nearly equivalent trip costs and 13 percent lower seat-mile costs than the B747-400, plus 26 percent greater cargo volume. Operating economics will offer a significant improvement over the A380. The B747-8 is more than 10 percent lighter per seat than the A380 and will consume 11 percent less fuel per passenger than the 555-seat airplane. That translates into a trip-cost reduction of 21 percent and a seat-mile cost reduction of more than 6 percent, compared to the A380.

In short, the new B747 is more fuel economical, produce less harmful exhaust emission and more technologically advanced. The new B747 is designed for more efficient intercontinental travel and freighter.

Cooling, Chilling

Finally the long awaiting rain has came bringing cool refreshing breeze together. It has been almost 2 weeks in university & few classes. I guess Uni life seemed relax before exam & after exam but in fact at the back drop, a lot of self revision and enrichments have to be done. Though I'm said to be more of Mechanics, I enjoy Chemistry especially after I attend Material engineering & taught by a friendly lecturer with a little sense of humor. Overall, I'm glad MBS has given me a solid pillar of foundation to prepare me for Uni. Thanks, MBS.


Kung Fu Panda 2, Pirates of The Caribbean 2, Cars 2, Transformers 3, X-men First Class and Harry Potter 5 Part 2 are screening soon. Material engineering and Calculus tests are also around the corner. Time management.

AirAsia Flying To Japan

Despite the 9.0 Richter scaled earthquake and nuclear plants unstable, AirAsia has made an effort to expand their routes to Japan naming "AirAsia flies to Japan With Love". No doubt AirAsia has many great strategies to maintain as a strong player in the commercial aviation industry. Great job!

Rolling Truth

Lies might be truth to others but there're definitely deception to yourself. Eventually the lies too become obvious to the others.

A Day Back To MBS

It was just an awesome feeling to be going back to MBS. The nostalgia & memories instant flashed back. Playing basketball there was the usual feeling except for the poor stamina I have which caused muscle aches later on. Anyway, it was great to be playing again. Thanks to Jason Yip for arranging it.

Though out the game I spotted 3 kinds of aircraft. 1 turboprop aircraft with 4 engines, I guessed it's C-130 Hercules from the appearance at the size of a nut. 3 A320 at 1 time high up and a piper. Wait, a helicopter passed by also. Clear morning sky is always busiest.

Tomorrow, lecture classes officially start after a week long orientation. Lets pray to God everything will sail smoothly. Embrace together. Ora Et Labora.

Airbus Revolution

Since the inception of Airbus in 1980s, it has been a strong manufacturer in passenger aircraft. Airbus once again has lead Boeing apart of having to report having more orders, the giant manufacturer also re-voluted its A320's power plant. Airbus has improved its A320 fleet by introducing a re-engine "New Engine Option" designed by P&W (PW1100G) or CFM (Leap X) to further improve the advanced aircraft fuel efficiency by another 15%.

The new variant also comes with a new "sharklet" winglet. The efficiency improvements translate into a savings up to 3,600 tonnes of CO2 annually plus a double-digit reduction in NOx emissions, reduced engine noise, lower operating costs and up to 500 nm. (950 km.) more range or two tonnes more payload, according to the company's president, Tom Enders. It also able to compete with Bombardier CSeries. The re-engine plane has 95% commodity to standard A320 variant. It's expected to make its delivery from Spring 2016.
