Airliner World December 2021
A bumper 132-page December 2021 edition of Airliner World kicks off with an exclusive guide celebrating a decade of the Boeing 787. We begin by charting the Dreamliner’s origins, before jumping aboard the type’s maiden fare-paying service with ANA. However, despite the 787’s major success, we also analyse some of the ongoing problems that continue to plague the popular widebody. Finally, we present comprehensive information on the type’s specifications and deliveries. Following on from COP26 in Glasgow, we take a closer look at how the aviation industry aims to decarbonise, including through sustainable aviation fuels and radical clean-sheet designs. Meanwhile, staying on theme, we investigate the rising popularity of rail travel globally and its potential impact on flights – we also offer counter insight from Modern Railways’ editor Philip Sherratt. For those more accustomed to historic aviation, we take a fascinating look at the Airspeed Ambassador, while our very own Martin Needham delivers the concluding part of his visit to British airliner classics at Duxford.
