Airliner World  |   November 2021
In the November 2021 edition of Airliner World, we gain exclusive insight into Embraer’s new turboprop offering as our very own Gordon Smith sits down with key representatives from the Brazilian manufacturer. We find out how they intend to disrupt the market – a sector lacking innovation in recent years – with promises of a “jet-like experience” and future proofing for sustainability in mind.
Keeping with the turboprop theme, we celebrate 40 years of ATR by looking back at some key moments from the Franco-Italian airframer’s history, and how this led them to hold a near-monopoly in the market today.
Elsewhere, we jump aboard JetBlue’s much-anticipated inaugural flight to London and back as our US-based correspondent trials both economy and Mint-class products. Meanwhile, we provide a fascinating extract from Andreas Spaeth’s new book charting one of his journeys on supersonic fan-favourite, Concorde, just before the type’s retirement. If that isn’t enough, buckle up as Derek Ferguson reminiscences his experiences of testing on the later-cancelled BAE Systems AVRO RJX programme.
To round off this jam-packed issue, we have the concluding part of the DC-9 story, preview the upcoming Dubai Airshow, explore British aviation treasures at Duxford, before finishing off with a trio of interviews from Air New Zealand, Etihad Engineering and Bose.
