MRO Business Today’s Post

During our market update webinar we discussed our outlook for 2024 - forecasting 12% growth in new delivery numbers this year. Although Q1 is the quietest of the year, it is useful to check in on progress; well over 2023 we are actually about 9% down on business aviation deliveries - numbers have fallen by half at Pilatus while Textron is down 20%. Embraer has started the year strong - deliveries are up 53% with 17 handovers in Q1 2024. Supply chain woes may still be with us. #businessaviation Cirium

The sweep angle of the wing on a Boeing 747 exceeds that of any other commercial aircraft. The 747 holds the record for having the greatest wing sweep angle among all commercial aircraft worldwide. That is an impressive angle of 37.5 degrees. This significant wing sweep plays a crucial role in the aircraft’s performance, as a higher sweep angle allows for increased speed. In fact, the 747 is capable of cruising at an impressive Mach 0.85 (490 knots; 900 km/h). #boeing #boeing747 #boeing737 #boeinglovers #boeing787 #boeing777 #aerospace #aerospaceengineering #aerospaceindustry #aerospacemanufacturing #aerospaceanddefense #aeronauticalengineering #aerodynamics #aviation #aviationgeek #aviationindustry #aviationnews #aviationdaily #aviationlovers #aircraft #aircraftengineer
