“Ebraer looks small.
Bombardier looks dangerous.
The A380 actually is dangerous.
Comac and Irkut/Sukhoi look like they are from the past.
The 787 is an over sized 747-8 jet.”

Obviously you aren’t much into aerospace :-)

“The 787 is an over sized 747-8 jet.”
787: length 186 ft, wingspan 197 ft
747-8: length 250 ft 2 in, wingspan 224 ft 7 in

Embraer E-Series is replaceing a lot of regional jets. “It looks small.” The only point you’ve scored.

“Bombardier looks dangerous” to Embraer only :-)

The A380 actually is dangerous. It had only 1 serious incident and the plane handled the situation perfect. It’s a good example that FBW is something realy usefull.

Comac and Irkut/Sukhoi look like they are from the past.
?!? Ever had a look on the C-919, the SS-100 or the MS-21 ?!? I’d guess you’ve never seen one. Nice airplanes for a fair price. Well the Comac isn’t what i would buy, but ...

I may not spend as much time as you watching planes land and takeoff at the airport. And I haven't had model planes hanging from my ceiling in 35 years. But your own opinion is noted. Happy now?
