On this week’s episode, we’re joined by The Air Current’s Jon Ostrower for a discussion about the delivery of the last Boeing 747 and Boeing’s plans for the future in Everett and beyond. Ostrower explains Boeing’s decision to begin a fourth 737 MAX production line at Everett and the recent NASA award for Boeing to build a concept aircraft with a transonic truss-braced wing.
We also look at the surprisingly quick settlement between Airbus and Qatar Airways of their long-running dispute over surface degradation on the A350.
And Jason checks in from underneath a waterfall in Oregon.
