GENEVA — Flight International Magazine editor Murdo Morrison and I discuss Day One of EBACE, which was dominated by a number of announcements, including the Mach .925 cruise by Gulfstream’s G650. Our top story here at EBACE yesterday was the revelation that Hawker Beechcraft is quietly working on a competitor to the Pilatus PC-12. Flight understands that the airframer is currently undergoing engine selection for the new single engine turboprop.
There is still a noticeable sluggishness to the show and optimism is cautious, but again the story of the show is more about what’s not being said as airframers stay mum on development of future aircraft in the pipeline. Also, bear with me, I’ve got a bit of a head cold.
