When discussing small airliners, the Airbus A220 is usually the aircraft that comes to mind because it's a clean-sheet design that is quite innovative. In aviation, however, brand new doesn't always mean better. To compete against the A220, Embraer developed the E2, which is essentially the Embraer E-Jet family but with a new wing, new engines, and technological improvements.

Everyone knows that Emirates is overwhelmingly the world's largest Airbus A380 operator and always will be. Ch-aviation shows that it still has 116 frames, with many different numbers of seats and configurations. The most notable version is the two-class, non-first-class, 615-seater.

The Prince of the Lilies is one of the signature images of Minoan Crete, reproduced on postcards, book covers, and museum posters worldwide: a slender, muscular figure wearing a crown of lilies and peacock feathers, striding forward through a garden, one hand on his chest. It's usually presented as a king, sometimes a priest-king, ruling from Knossos around 1500 BCE. The problem is that almost none of that figure actually survived. Excavated in fragments by Arthur Evans' team in the early 1900s,

Qatar Airways premium products have been made famous by its iconic and acclaimed Qsuite. However, the carrier has begun accepting deliveries of new jets that do not offer this famous product. Instead, these new jets have a business class cabin based on the Adient Aerospace Ascent seat.
