    Dec 12, 2019, 12:15 PM

    One thing occurred to me. Qantas says Project Sunrise is about reducing the travel time between Eastern Australia and London and New York.Why then are they not asking the manufacturers for faster aircraft?Why are they not looking at super or hyper sonic aircraft?We had supersonic 50 years ago wi...

  • Qantas not convinced on Airbus, Boeing revised Sunrise bids

    Dec 10, 2019, 01:02 PM

    Project Sunrise is pure and simply about the prestige of being first to fly nonstop from Sydney and Melbourne to London and New York.

  • One runway at Melbourne: why?

    Apr 06, 2019, 10:36 AM

    Used to work for ATC. Main factor is wind, not only at Tullamarine but wind at Esssendon as well as runways at both need to be paired for safe operations.
