A four-engined aircraft, also known as a quadjet, is, unsurprisingly, a jet aircraft powered by four jet engines. These four engines offer increased power and allow larger aircraft to carry heavier loads and be deployed on popular routes. Quadjets quickly rose in popularity through aircraft such as the Boeing 747, Airbus A340, and A380. The first quadjet, was the Havilland Comet. This was the world’s first commercial jetliner, and following this aircraft’s introduction, several other aircraft adopted the four-engine design in the decades that followed. However, today, more airlines are considering twin-engine aircraft, as they move away from hub-to-hub flying,…

Lufthansa is increasing the rollout of its new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft this winter, with the type replacing its aging quadjets from the Airbus A340 family on several routes to and from the United States of America. At the same time, some of the corridors served by the German flag carrier will see frequency reductions. The relationship between Lufthansa and the Boeing 787-9 has been somewhat strained in its early days, with certain premium seats on the Dreamliner unable to be used as they await certification. Still, its increasing rollout at the German flag carrier shows that it is gaining…

The Boeing 737 was, until recently, the most delivered jet-powered airliner of all time. It was developed into four distinct generations, and the third-generation 737NG is the most common of the four (as deliveries of the even more popular 737 MAX are still ongoing). The 737NG was designed to go head-to-head against the Airbus A320 family, and for the most part, it succeeded. Year over year, 737NG sales routinely matched those of the A320. However, while the 737NG as a whole was a successful program, sales between the variants of the 737NG were not evenly distributed. The 737-800 was tremendously…

The weather that existed for departure from London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR) on Oct. 10, 2014, was moderate rain from a layer of stratus clouds with tops at 10,000 ft. The weather could hardly be considered threatening for experienced pilots flying a modern transport category aircraft designed and certified to the extensive standards of Federal Aviation Regulation Part 25.The United Airlines Boeing 787 was only six minutes into its flight from LHR to Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) when the aircraft was struck by lightning from a seemingly innocuous stratus cloud layer, causing a cacophony of failures resulting in the…
