[Timm Rehberg 2160]

The first flight of an Airbus A320 with Sharklets fitted lifted up to the skies on November, 30th 2011!

And did you know Sharklet™ is actually a registered trade mark? I hope we're not getting legal problems here...

[Timm Rehberg 2160]

I don´t care about the Sharklets, I just want Candy Crush on my EFB  

[Artur Araripe 1272]

Relatable. I want the EFB so bad 

[Bartu Özkara 288]

I don't know exactly which features will be on the EFB but it could be nice to have a performance tool like this with runway details. Of course it's not easy to build something like that but at least having our charts there it will be amazing

Just take a look at the previews ;):

[Bartu Özkara 288]

Yeah I saw those previews but thanks Stu. I guess because of the development process there wasn't any details about the features, therefore I shared this photo above maybe we can get new details from the development team

Hi Bartu,

We have lots to share with the community but you are going to have to wait a little longer before we can do so.

[Kévin Broucker 2]

Um, I apologize already if the question is not suitable, but after the sharklets and the EFB, would you tell us what A3XX project have you been doing for a while? 

[Koen Meier 1321]

Regarding the shared images of the efb. Catering domestic will that see an effect in the catering load for example?

It is a canary.  The a3xx is just a project name.

That image is of an early alpha and no longer applicable.

I can agree with that if they completely changed everything up.

I'm gonna go forward, apparently it's easier than going back: https://www.businessinsider.com/backward-time-travel-physics-2016-1.

All you have to do is achieve a velocity faster than light speed or FTL.

Why are people getting anxious or worried? I'm 100% sure FSL will blow us away when it comes to the Sharklets package.

Because we live in an Amazon world that allows for immediate gratification  

Gone are the days when you had to, "wait," for anything special.  I, myself, with my stressful RW job, enjoy waiting.  It gives me something to look forward to down the road and keeps my spirits up.  I just received my Thrustmaster Quad yesterday and have been waiting on it since July.  Been a fun wait.
