Aircraft developments - 1987

[Danny]

According to historic data there should be some. What will we see in the game?

[StephenM]

Aircraft Production Stoppages:

• B737-100
• DC9-30
• BAC111-500
• Boeing 727-200
• Britten-Norman BN-2A

New Aircraft:

• CASA C212-300, 775nm, 26 seats, €1,169,215 (This plane is EXTREMELY slow, thats why its so cheap to buy. It only goes at 162mph!)
• BAe 146-300, 1196m, 128 seats, €29,808,596     
• Fokker 50, 1276nm, 58 seats, €10,253,136

[Danny]

Why is Fokker 50 only 10M while AT4 17M?

[Danny]

I see BaE 146-300 coming, how about -200 which was earlier than 300?

[StephenM]

Why is Fokker 50 only 10M while AT4 17M?

The price of aircraft was heavily dependant on speed. Basically it goes along the lines of:

Slow = prop = cheap
Fast = jet = dear.

Thats about it!

I see BaE 146-300 coming, how about -200 which was earlier than 300?

I didn't have the BAe146-200/100 in data that was given to me, will do it myself after these bloody exams.

Both Fokker 50 and ATR-42 are turboprops and are of the similar size.

Speeds:
ATR-42-320 - Same as ATR-42-300 except max cruising speed 498km/h (269kt).
F-50 Typical cruising speed 526km/h (284kt).

Range:
ATR-42 - Range with max fuel and reserves at max cruising speed 4480km (2420nm), or 5040km (2720nm) at economical cruising speed.
F-50 Range with 50 passengers and reserves at high speed cruise 2033km (1097nm), or 3017km (1628nm) for high gross weight option at long range cruise.

Capacity:
ATR-42 Maximum passenger accommodation for 50, 48 or 46 at 76cm (30in) pitch and four abreast.
F-50  Standard seating for 50 at four abreast and 81cm (32in) pitch. Max high density seating for 58.


Being bigger airplane by 8 seats F-50 should be more expensive.


As for Bae/RJ:

The ATR can fly further, and that should count as well.

What's strange, is that a B752 with PW engines costs 15m less, but still can fly 200nm longer than with RR engines. Is this a brand issue?

[Danny]

BaE 146 costs nothing to fly? What a nice airplane  :wink:

[StephenM]

Oh wonderful.  

Right, I'm finished my next exam until Friday, I'll get cracking tonight on the costs. Expect low cost aircraft to go UP.

when do the A320's come?

[StephenM]

when do the A320's come?

The year of my birth, 1988.

[C.Durgut]

Thats why every time I refresh the forum index there are more new posts! My ISP hasn't fixed the databases yet... Very strange, they are usually faster than this.

But that's only the A320-100.

Though the A320-100 didn't last very long, so the -200 will be here soon.
