Its the airplane of the future. Its still grounded. - WSJ (No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=62590&nl=daily] The
durability problems affecting jet engines have hit this aircraft hard,
forcing airlines to cancel flights and ground crews. RTX-owned Pratt &
Whitney has said that many of its PW1500G turbofans, which were
supposed to last 20,000 flight cycles, should be sent to the shop at
5,000. Some are being sent in before 600 cycles. According to August
estimates by analytics firm IBA, 15% of global A220s are grounded and
another 42% are of the age that suggest inspections have happened or
are due.

The A220 should be the pride and joy of the aerospace industry. It is
the only “clean-sheet" single-aisle plane built in recent
years—the A320 and Boeing 737 designs go back to 1986 and 1966,
respectively—and was a bold attempt by Canadian manufacturer
Bombardier to break the commercial-jet duopoly.

Ms. Harris, 59, casts herself as representing the future of American
government and Mr. Trump, 78, as a relic of the past. She will press
her advantage on favorable issues, most obviously abortion, while

president aims to strengthen the national economy.

Sustainability has become an important talking point for a lot of big

enough that it claims to have eliminated its entire "carbon legacy,"
and it aims to be carbon neutral by 2030. But its greenhouse gas
emissions have risen almost 50 percent in the past five years thanks

The mysterious videos about mysterious forces are the most the public
