It is incredibly expensive to develop large airliners.
As I understand it, the only peer companies that do so are Airbus, COMAC, and Embraer (Edit: Bombardier ended with the A220).
Which one of these should replace Boeing?
- loeg 2y agoThere is also Bombardier. But none except Airbus makes planes in the same class as Boeing.
- bobthepanda 2y agoAirbus purchased the Bombardier program
- loeg 2y agoAh, thanks.
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoCOMAC will succeed. Embraer is sort of boxed in and made the bad decision under Lula of making a deal with China that includes local manufacturing and technology transfers. They’re segmenting the market between them. Bombardier got killed by Boeing’s games with them and yes the remnants are the A220.
- chasil 2y agoCOMAC just had its first order from the Americas: https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/brazilian-airline-seeks-buy-planes-chinas-comac-2024-09-26/ https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/brazilian... Four planes.
- Dalewyn 2y agoAirbus of the ones listed. However, Northrop Grumman could also buy out Boeing's large aircraft bits and (re)enter the commercial airliner market. I doubt Lockheed Martin would be interested, they're into smaller aircraft these days.
