How can you hate an aircraft?
My least favorite aircraft is the A350 though.
How can you hate an aircraft that hasn't even flown yet? They haven't even finished designing it?
The exterior renderings were released a long time ago, and the basics are already complete. And if it's bad to like or dislike aircraft that haven't flown yet, why did the 787 get 600+ orders before it even flew?
First of all, the renderings are just that... renderings. That's what the engineers think it will look like but since the design hasn't been frozen yet, all of those things are subjet to change. Just like the 787 - the first concepts included the shark tail but that has been changed for the final design. Basics complete? Do you work for Airbus? The design hasn't even been frozen yet, so nothing is really 'complete'. Also, the 787 hasn't even flown yet, so it might get more orders than that before it flies. And, nobody said it's bad to dislike an airplane before first flight, it's just personal opinion. But, how can you hate an airplane that hasn't even been designed yet? And about the 787 getting 600 orders, I'm sure airlines don't like or dislike it in the same sense we do. We like/dislike an airplane based on its looks while airlines do it based on the performance figures. So, airlines like the 787's performance figures but not nessecerally its looks (which I can't understand how anybody can dislike it, it's a beautiful aircraft). Regardless, I find your statements pretty hyprocritical. In one post you ask 'how can you hate an aircraft' and in the same post you state an aircraft you hate.
And, I love how you always defend what you say by saying the 787 got XXX orders before first flight. It's very entertaining.
