However, the aircraft construction factory where they produce Sukhoi Superjets 100 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, is a sufficient refutation of the charge. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;"><i>The Sukhoi Superjet 100 (Russian: Сухой Суперджет 100) is a modern, fly-by-wire regional jet in the 75- to 95-seat category. With development starting in 2000, the plane was designed by the civil aircraft division of the Russian aerospace company Sukhoi in co-operation with Western partners. Its maiden flight was conducted on 19 May 2008 and the plane received its Interstate Aviation Committee certification in January 2011 with European Aviation Safety Agency certification expected in mid-2011. On 21 April 2011, the Superjet 100 performed its first commercial passenger flight, on the Armavia route from Yerevan to Moscow.</i></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">About 12 thousand people work at the two departments of the factory. In the first one they make the fuselage, and in the other one they install electronics, engines, etc. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Actually, I found it rather surprise to see so many ladies working in this factory. Don't get me wrong as I never felt woman should be discriminated from engineering work. My wife is also an Engineer. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let's see how they turn a piece of aluminium into a plane.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1eFbjxlPtX6dkf3CrDvp7L5UDwOgPvxhZm6nZmsX4uFkkH6KLz0ZTIxKLP14i1tYkgf2dOBxx8LZIB3ot4aPyZ6RMFePh9Zt2NJBxdOsf9f4ta-vWiclOwP9A3PeFebkMMvNSROxePQ/s1600/Russia+Aircraft+Construction+From+A+To+Z+Sukhoi+Superjets+100+Komsomolsk-on-Amur+002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_1eFbjxlPtX6dkf3CrDvp7L5UDwOgPvxhZm6nZmsX4uFkkH6KLz0ZTIxKLP14i1tYkgf2dOBxx8LZIB3ot4aPyZ6RMFePh9Zt2NJBxdOsf9f4ta-vWiclOwP9A3PeFebkMMvNSROxePQ/s640/Russia+Aircraft+Construction+From+A+To+Z+Sukhoi+Superjets+100+Komsomolsk-on-Amur+002.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/11/visit-to-sukhoi-superjet-100-factory.html#more">Click to read more »</a>

Flying 101 Lesson By Kulula Airlines

<div style="text-align: justify;">Kulula (South Africa's favourite low fare airline), have recently released this fantastic new aircraft livery entitled Flying 101. Kulula are well known for their fun marketing exploits and this one lives up to their high standards. Each part of the aircraft is labelled with humorous captions.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Flying 101 has flown around the world several time thanks to the power of email and internet. This plane was designed in-house by our graphic design team as part of our bigger strategy to demystify air travel and explain some of the unknowns around air travel and flying. Look out for some of the quirky likes like 'The big cheese' pointing to the Captain and 'The black box – that's actually orange'.<br><br>I have to say that I really like Fukula Plane livery. Not only it come in super cool bright green colour, it also encourage people to know term aeronautical engineering.
