A new global rivalry? Airbus, Boeing, Comac and the future of aviation

As the aviation industry attempts to recover from the devastating effects of the pandemic, we take an in-depth look at the future of flying. Will we soon be boarding commercial jets made in China? Or flying faster than the speed of sound? And what will the planes actually look like? Answers to these questions and more as Rob Watts reports on the future of flight.

What do you think - what will the future of commercial aviation look like?

Boeing is promising that in the future you probably wont die on its 737 Max 8s after they get the bugs worked out.

[MemoirsofaBasketcase]

Any competition that can break an entrenched duopoly is a good thing.

[martinarmendariz]

It is good to stop the boing-airbus duopolio with China’s Comac but we need Brazil’s Embraer, Canada’s Bombardier, Rusia’s Sukhoi, Japan’s Honda to start to compete in the big passager planes.

Boeing please make sure your planes can fly the whole journey not just the first 10 mins

5:32 "IF they convince their domestic carriers to buy them". They will have no choice, but to buy them..

The Airbus jet in the thumbnail looks absolutely fantastic! Hope it comes to fruition! Boeing have sadly lost public trust, it doesn’t help that they lied about problems that plagued the 737 Max.

[speedstriker]

Boeing should focus on making planes that DOESN'T CRASH lmao!

[marcelmoura]

Embraer has an awesome aircraft: E2-195. I think she's going to increase her market share! Key word: low cost of maintenance.

I am studying Aeronautical engineering, so i hope the industry does not suffer greatly with this pandemic

The airships a hundred years ago used to be dependent on hydrogen.

[devineandconquer]

that flying wing from airbus looks rad

[dboucher]

Flying in a Boeing 737 Max 8 is like playing Russian Roulette airborne style.

"Powered by Hydrogen, no more polluting Kerosene"

Depends on where'd you get the Hydrogen

[lunix]

Not gonna lie, sustainable fuel is more important for the future, in the future

[christianberrocal]

I liked the Airbus vision for future. Great think green!

[pineapplesareyummy]

There are 7.8 billion people in the world. The global aviation market is too big to have a duopoly! The entrance of Comac is a good thing, but there needs to be at least one more! Can India found its own aviation company like China has done? That would at least give US, EU, China and India as the countries/blocs with an aircraft manufacturer. Eventually, given its size and population, Africa should have its own too.

1:00... Embraer is missing on that list. Massive presence in regional flight markets.

[okman]

Wow new frontiers for every aircraft manufacturer
Europe: sustainable flight
US: cheap flight
Russia & China: faster flight
Future looks promising 😏
