    Any Boeing 737 can fly high enough to be out of range of any Anti Aircraft Artillery. (AAA)

    Now the Russians SS-400 missile system is a different matter.

    Engineering is not ok.

    The engines are made for A320 and too big for 737. So they moved them forward so they fit under the wings. Because of that the aircraft has the tendency to go into a stall.

    You claimed that engineering and design for Boeing is not done solely in the US.
    You are wrong, not matter how much you wish that to be true.
    You talk crap about Boeing when your own country doesn’t even design/engineer its own aircraft. Airbus is not a German company.

    Im talking about our MANTIS System

    The AHEAD technology enables the air defence gun’s capability to track and destroy the aerial targets. The MANTIS gun fires 24 round burst, high-velocity AHEAD rounds at the target’s intercept point.

    "The firing of the guns is based on mission-specific programmable and air burst AHEAD ammunition."
    The projectiles from the gun are programmed through a muzzle-based electromagnetic inductor. The technology activates and separates the projectiles into 152 heavy tungsten metal spin-stabilised sub-projectiles as per an electronic timer.

    The sub-projectiles of 3.3g each form a lethal cone-shaped metal cloud in the flight path of the incoming target. The response time for the system to detect and fire the target is expected to be 4.5 seconds. MANTIS’ control system is also capable of tracking the location of the assailants along with the flight path and point of impact.

    Airbus is a German company. Design and engineering is done in Hamburg / Fuhlsbüttel.

    So far we never designed trash like the 737 MAX.

    Typical american bullshit. The stuff we build actually works.

    They fund a new weakness is american Boeing bullshit.

    You can use an USB stick and hack from the entertainment system into the cockpit system

    https://www.wired.com/story/boeing-787-code-leak-security-flaws/

    Fun fact, all the security risks were published online here and even on a big event in Spain. Boeing is fuming and says its irresponsible to make those software weakensses public :D

    Actually, first orders of the engines were made by Boeing, not airbus.
    And the engines are a joint work of US-French companies.
    But whatever makes your German pride warm your heart...

    Is that why British Airlines just bought 200 of them and did not even notify Airbus and Germans they’re looking to buy planes? :D

    That 35 mm gatling gun range (altitude) is around 13,000 feet.

    The Boeing 737 Max can fly as high as 41,000 feet.

    Most commercial airliners cruise around 30,000 feet.

    Yes we can, because its NATO procedure. If an aircraft flys into blocked airspace, doesnt react to orders, it can be shot down.

    We are not dumbfucks like your government to allow this

    The Bundesverfassungsgericht allowed the shot down of rogue civilian airliners in such an event.

    Registered in Netherlands, headquarters in Blagnac, France!
    You claim Airbus as yours when in fact it’s not.

    Boeing 747 was in continuous production from 1968 till today.
    Airbus 380 was in production for less than 20 years and there are talks now of halting the production.

    A380 was supposed to compete with B747. ;)

    Talking about trash...

    BA did not order a single 737. They did not even sign a contract. What IAG did was is to sign a meomorandum of understanding that they might buy.

    The 747 is also not orderd since years anymore since there is no market. And the 747 is responsbile for some of the worst crashs ever.

    No A380 ever crashed.

    Wait, so you say Germany should ignore a rogue aircraft, entering airspace illegaly and against orders and risk it crashing into a city or nuclear power plant?

    Are you kidding me? Is that why you allowed WTC to happen at 911?

    All this ************ aside, you do realize, that the crew would be imprisoned and the aircraft confiscated or shot down if its poses a threat, right?

    Huh?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_747-8


    Sure, compare aircraft that operated for over 50 years with aircraft that had deliveries start just 10 years ago.
    When B747 rolled out GPS was not available and computerization was still a dream.


    Also, when you claim Airbus is German you sound like a virgin kid who claims to have had sex with lots of women. Watch 40 year old virgin.

    Germany should build a really tall wall around Germany.

    Call it the Merkel Wall.

    Germany has every right to defend its sovereignty from illegal alien (foreign) aircraft.

    Boeing 737 Max's are the bad hombres of the sky.

    I work in the industry. 737max was a debacle of trying to force too many cost savings into one platform. It ended up requiring far too much computing to control stability and the computer systems were poorly written and not checked for quality.

    Boeing as a company has been hit with FOD issues on just about every line in their fleet. Military, space, and civilian.

    Airbus is a German / French joint venture with same amount of shares. The development center is in Fuhlsbüttel.

    And 747 had no new orders since years. There is no market left for this.

    And 747 had crashs because bad design. In one case entire cockpit ripped off midlifght. IN other event engine felt off and the aircraft crashed into ground.
