That said, I think it'll be a long time before someone buys a knock-off
airliner pushed by knock-off engines and guided by knock-off avionics. I
just don't foresee a market for third rate aircraft.

I've heard it's equipped with such brand name gear as Garvin Avionics
and a choice of Gentleman Electric or Rolls Boyce engines...


knockoff ? Sure, mind you, it has a cabin that was designed by
australian firm FACC, engine is from GE, wing design is from antonov.
btw, i heard that the only thing that american can really manufacture
now is boeing, american cars are only the verge of bankruptcy thanks
to Japan, ask chrysler if you don't believe me. almost the entire
american market now is dominated by Japanese brands, what a pity for a
country that hated Japanese brands so much only 2 decades ago.

sometimes it makes me laugh to think what would happen to boeing if
japan was to make passenger planes. lol


God bless america !
