Expertly presented by Saleha Mohsin, this episode explores how this iconic US manufacturer can regain its footing. Listen now on Spotify. #Boeing #USManufacturing #IndustryNews

The upper end of regional aviation is made of some decisive moments that shape the aviation landscape for the next two decades or so. In the late 80's and early 90's, in one of these moments, Bombardier and Embraer launched the CRJ100/200 and ERJ145. These 50 seaters could comply with the US scope clause and sold more than a thousand aircraft each, becoming a constant (and sometimes annoying) presence for anyone flying in North America. Then, late 90's, another pivotal moment when Bombardier reluctantly came with the CSeries (after prioritizing elongated models of the CRJ family) and Embraer launched the EMB170/190 family. I was working for Embraer at the time and followed the unfolding of events very closely. There was a healthy excitement and nervousness in all of us trying to predict if the bet which could make or break the company was going to pay off. It did pay off, big time. Ironically I later moved to Canada to work at Bombardier, including the Challenger 850 model that was nothing more than a CRJ200 fitted with a business interior configuration. Again, I saw the whole clash (or dance?) of strategies, including the morphing of the CSeries into the A220. Since then, many peons have moved on this chess-board. New technologies are making their way through from the smaller planes up, reverting what was the usual opposite trend. Societal and governmental pressure for a greener aviation, the rapid aging of the 50 seater fleets, the sad 737MAX events and Boeing own internal problems, and of course a thousand other factors that don't fit here, put the sector in another of these pivotal moments that will shape aviation for the next 20 years. And it seems that Embraer is the one to make the first move this time. Please don't miss hearing the great podcast below that so beautifully describes what is going on now for Embraer.

Is there an underlying cause to Boeing’s string of accidents? Can China break the duopoly that Boeing and Airbus have in airplane manufacturing? Columnist Adam Tooze discusses this topic on FP’s Ones and Tooze podcast. Read the Q&A here:

This episode of Process Safety with Trish Kerin & Traci Purdum discusses the aviation industry's Boeing 737 MAX crisis and how it revealed critical management failures, emphasizing the importance of rigorous management of change documentation, prioritizing safety over profitability and identifying weak signals. The mishaps stemmed from design flaws and inadequate pilot training, highlighting the need for systemic improvements to prevent similar tragedies. #ChemicalProcessing #processsafety #weaksignals #icheme https://lnkd.in/eu_urTXu

Podcast Short with Larry Wilcox. Look for the full Podcast tomorrow.

Interesting discussion on possible technologies for a clean sheet A320 replacement. A composite fuselage is not so surprising. Wing span equivalent to an A330 with folding wingtips? CFM Rise engine with 13 foot rotor diameter and 20% lower fuel burn compared with today's best of class engines?

What a great Check6 podcast with my colleagues John H. Schmidt and Jeff Wheless along with Joseph Anselmo from Aviation Week. Take a listen to hear the following terms: supplier resiliency, bullwhip effect and GenAI Ways of Working. It’s worth the listen!

🎙️ Ep. 209 of the Sofeast podcast is LIVE! 🚨 "Boeing’s Serious Issue: Bad Manufacturing Habits" ⬇️ Listen HERE ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e-BB2E6C Air travel requires an extremely high level of safety, so it's very embarrassing for Boeing that they have been dogged by quality and reliability issues lately, resulting in a near-disaster on a brand new Alaska Airlines 737 Max. Renaud Anjoran and Paul Adams look at Boeing's recent troubles, based on information from news reports, that seem to have been caused by bad manufacturing habits. 😥 #sofeast #podcast #boeing #737max #airsafety #airplanemanufacturing #qualitycontrol #rework #suppliermanagement #manufacturing
