How Brazil Gave Birth to One of the World's Greatest Jet Makers | Odd Lots

There aren't many advanced manufacturing success stories in Latin America. And globally, there aren't many companies that can build commercial planes at scale. Yet somehow, one of the world's leading jet makers is Brazilian. Embraer is the third largest maker of commercial planes worldwide after Boeing and Airbus. On this episode, we talk about how the company came to be, what its opportunities are, and what lessons in economic development we can learn from its rise. We speak with two guests for the show. First, is Richard Aboulafia, a managing director at AeroDynamic Advisory, to understand the company's role in the aviation ecosystem. Then we speak with Juan David Rojas, a writer on Latin America, to understand the political conditions in Brazilian history that allowed the company to emerge and thrive.
Bloomberg's Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway analyze the weird patterns, the complex issues and the newest market crazes. Join the conversation every Monday and Thursday for interviews with the most interesting minds in finance, economics and markets.

Anyone that is that jittery that they made their own interpretation of a PR slogan like "the sound of silence" should stick to the trains and buses. The Dash 8 plane are equipped with noise cancelling speaker system that significantly quiet the cabin, that is what the slogan means. Also, it is very common for 4 engined airplanes in the military used for search missions where they need longest loitering time, it is routine to shut down 2 of the engines to save fuel and engine wear.
