BEIJING, Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Boeing (NYSE: BA), China’s leading provider of commercial airplanes, projects a demand for 6,810 new airplanes in the country over the next 20 years. Boeing released its annual China Current Market Outlook (CMO) today in Beijing, estimating the total value of those new airplanes at $1.025 trillion. China becomes the first trillion dollar aviation market in Boeing’s forecast.

“As China transitions to a more consumer-based economy, aviation will play a key role in its economic development,” said Randy Tinseth, vice president of Marketing, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “Because travel and transportation are key services, we expect to see passenger traffic grow 6.4 percent annually in China over the next 20 years.”

Boeing predicts China will need 5,110 new single-aisle airplanes through 2035, accounting for 75 percent of the total new deliveries. Low-cost carriers and full-service airlines have been adding airplanes and expanding new point-to-point services to cater for both leisure and business travel demand from a rising middle class in China and throughout Asia.

Tinseth said the backlog from Chinese customers demonstrates that the new 737 MAX 8 and the current Next-Generation 737-800 are at the heart of the single-aisle market.

Boeing forecasts the widebody fleet will triple in size, requiring 1,560 new airplanes such as the 787, 777 and 777X.  This year’s forecast reflects a continued shift from very large airplanes to efficient new small and medium widebody airplanes.

China’s single-aisle fleet currently accounts for about 18 percent of global single-aisle aircraft; however, China’s widebody fleet only represents approximately

Sep 12, 2016 — Today we’re going to talk about model airplanes. These aren’t the model planes you might remember from your childhood, the kind you fly in the backyard on the end of a string. These days, model plane hobbyists build huge flying works of art, loving historic recreations worth thousands of dollars that they pilot using remote controls.

What’s that up in the sky?

I got interested in the hobby one afternoon driving by the little grass-runway airport in Westport. I saw a plane buzzing around high overhead, doing acrobatics, whirling and dipping. I could tell it was a model plane, but it was big, like the size of a riding lawn mower,  

I had to see it up close, so I pulled in and people told me I should to talk to Jerry Willette from Fort Ann and Steve Noyes from Crown Point. They run the Champlain Valley Flyers, a model airplane club based in Crown Point.

They’re both late middle age and have had a love affair with flight since they were little boys. “My dad used to take us to the airport when we were little kids. We didn’t have a lot of money.

A custom car that’s both an homage to the past and herald of the future, the Bristol Bullet has a visual impact nothing short of ballistic. The model (priced at over $300,000) is the first new release to be fired off from Bristol Cars in over a decade and commemorates the boutique British marque’s 70th anniversary.

Terms like “legacy” and “loyalty” are often bandied about when discussing premier automakers, but few are as well deserved as Bristol, backed by ardent enthusiasts who have managed to keep a majority of its vehicles in active use. RobbReport.com recently spoke with Bristol’s development director Noamaan Siddiqi about Bullet’s trajectory to production and why it’s an important bridge for the brand.

RobbReport.com: Compared to other British automakers, Bristol Cars may not be as well known outside of the United Kingdom. Could you give a brief background on the marque?

Noamaan Siddiqi: Bristol Cars was founded out of the Bristol Aeroplane Company, an extremely significant aircraft manufacturer founded in 1910. It was responsible for the creation of numerous and notable flying machines including the famed Bristol Scout, one of the first combat planes used throughout World War I. Another was the Beaufighter, which had the distinction of being the only airplane to serve in every allied nation’s air force during World War II. By the end of the latter, Bristol Aeroplane Company had almost a quarter-million people in direct and indirect employ and so decided to also make very high-end automobiles, using its large workforce and aerospace expertise
