WingedWorld: INSANE! Emirates Just SHOCKS Everyone

Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
I followed the progress of aircraft design quite closely for most of my life ... more than seven decades. My first flights were in propeller driven planes like the DC3 designed in the 1930s and a workhorse during WWII.

The 'jet era' atarted in the late 1950s and I got to cross the Atlantic in an early Boeing 707 in 1960 and again in 1961. The range of this aircraft made London to New York without refueling on the way a challenge. Fast forward 60+ years and some aircraft travel half way round the world without refuelling!

This video helps bring me up-to-date about modern day aircraft capabilities! The video also shows how the structure of the aviation industry has changed from one dominated by the USA and Europe (including the UK) to one where the rich Middle East is an important component!
