No. 2 - Kalitta Air

I’m really thrilled by how much you all enjoyed my Lufthansa rant. Here’s something...a little different. Just to rub in that I don’t inherently hate liveries just for having a mostly white fuselage, I wanted to talk about an example of that being done a lot better. I will also be doing so in a length which will probably be a bit more typical of this blog. I hope you all enjoy it regardless!

Kalitta Air (formerly Connie Kalitta Services and American International Airways; callsign “Connie”) is a cargo airline headquartered in Ypsilanti, Michigan. You see their planes around a lot if you randomly click on flightradar24 flights, especially over North America, but they don’t carry passengers, so to my knowledge they’re not a household name. At least, the friends I surveyed had never heard of them. 

(image: kalitta air)

But their low profile conceals some pretty stylish planes. So, let’s discuss!

Like I said, I don’t blanket dislike mostly-white liveries just because most of them are super boring and Lufthansa’s in particular is terrible! So I wanted to follow it up immediately with an example of a mostly white livery which I really like - Kalitta Air’s sleek and iconic paint job, which the airline adopted (as far as I can tell from digging around) in the late 1980s. 

It truly feels like Connie Kalitta’s main gig as a racecar driver transferred to the look of the planes with his name written on the side. (...what is it with racecar drivers and starting airlines? I mean, two nickels, but...)

The majority of Kalitta Air’s fleet are Boeing 747s, which does add to the look, in my opinion. Their fleet even contains the last 747-400 ever built! The iconography feels like it transitions well into the hump, and the entire thing looks balanced. 

(image: kalitta air)

I’ll be honest, something is definitely lost on the remainder of the airline’s fleet, made up of Boeing 777s, in a pretty major way, but it doesn’t cancel out just how much I love the look of the 747s. Still, because the airline has kept this livery for so long, we can look back to the past to experience it on all sorts of shapes. 

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I still prefer the 747. That’s pretty incredible - I’m of the opinion that nearly all liveries look their best on a TriStar, so that opinion is a testament to just how incredibly good this livery looks on the Queen. It’s an acceptable-to-good livery on any plane, don’t get me wrong, but the core 747 fleet wears it transcendently well. (I am ignoring the 777s.)

If you’ve seen a Kalitta Air plane for more than a few seconds it’s likely the pictured N700CK, which got to flip a few assorted vehicles with her jet blasts in the 2007 Mythbusters episode “Supersized Myths”. Their 747s have been used in other media, but this is the main example. I think they couldn’t have picked a more striking plane to use. 

Just look at the thing! The combination of red and gold makes it feel flashy and fast, a feeling which is added to by the swooping hockey-stick cheatlines which add a lot of interest to the fuselage with very little paint. It makes the plane feel streamlined and almost reminds me of the sort of paint jobs used on early high-speed trains. 

(image: Science Museum Group Collection) 

The font itself even feels fast, while being massive and quite legible even despite the shape of the A, and framed nicely on each side by the little wings. It does look a little like if a racecar was a cargo plane, and I love it. It’s not exactly maximalist, but every detail from the letters’ even heights to the ratio of gold to red feels perfect. 

If you’re going to do a mostly white paint job (and there are plenty of reasons that airlines generally prefer to), this is how you do it. 

Final Grade: A

N.B.          For the sake of my own mental health, I am not going to touch on the atrocious revision of two years ago in this post. At the least, it looks like they’re not repainting old airframes and they have a small-ish fleet so they’re not bulk-buying new ones or anything, which means this livery will probably be around for the remainder of the service life of many fairly new freighters. Because of that, I do not consider the classic hockey stick Kalitta livery to be retired, and will not be tagging it as such. That said, since it’s not their current livery for new planes, I also am not classifying it as a 2020s livery.

IL PRIMO VOLO ECOLOGICO ATTRAVERSA L’OCEANO

È atterrato negli Stati Uniti il primo volo transatlantico di un aereo passeggeri alimentato solo con carburanti sostenibili.

La traversata dall’aeroporto Heathrow di Londra all’aeroporto JFK di New York è stata realizzata da un Boeing 787 della Virgin Atlantic ed è finora l’unico nel suo genere ad avere percorso una rotta così lunga senza utilizzare carburanti fossili. “La storia è stata fatta” ha dichiarato appena atterrato Mark Harper il ministro dei trasporti britannico, presente a bordo. Per il volo sono state utilizzate 50 tonnellate di carburante per aviazione sostenibile (il cosiddetto SAF) ottenuto per l’88% da grassi di scarto e per la restante parte dagli scarti della produzione di mais. I Sustainable Aviation Fuel possono essere prodotti da diverse fonti alternative sostenibili tra cui residui di coltivazione, rifiuti domestici e oli da cucina ma anche grasso animale, sfalci di erba ed alghe, dai rifiuti solidi urbani e dai residui forestali.

L’utilizzo di questo carburante produce circa il 70% in meno di emissioni di carbonio rispetto ai combustibili tradizionali. Oggi già circa lo 0,1% del carburante utilizzato per i voli è SAF. Numerose aziende sono state coinvolte nel progetto, tra cui il produttore di motori Rolls-Royce e il gruppo energetico BP. Il fondatore della Virgin, Richard Branson, ha dichiarato che “ci vorrà un po’ di tempo” prima che ci siano abbastanza SAF da poter utilizzare per tutti. “Ma da qualche parte bisogna iniziare” ha aggiunto. “E se non dimostrassimo che è possibile farlo, non otterremo mai di produrre carburante sostenibile per l’aviazione.”

Um fabricante boeing fez acordos com os autores de uma aça civil pela queda de um 737 max 8 da airlines etíopes em março de 2019, e evitou um julgamento civil nos estados unidos, informou um advogado da demanda.

Um processo com Júri Popular Estava Marcado para Começar Nesta Segunda-Fira (7), Em Chicago, para Avaliar Duas AÇÃO MOVIDAS POR Familiares Das Vítimas do Acidental, Que Causou 157 Mortes.

“UM ACORDO FOI FECHADO NOITE DE ONTEM PARA AMBOS OS PROCESSO”, informou à Afp Ocritório de Advocacacia Clifford, que representa vácios familiares.

“NÓs nos comprometemos Desde O Inicio um compensar Plena e Justemento como famílias e Aceitamos uma responsabilidade legal de responsabilidade legal de Fazê-lo”, Resaltou um Boeing Hoje. “Seguimos Trabalhando para Encontrar Uma Solução Justa Para os Pedidos Das Famílias”, Acentres a Empresa.

ASA TERIA SIDO A Primeira Aça Civil Contra a Boeing em Reláção à Aérea Catácloo. UM ACORDO EXTRAJUDICIAL SER ALANCADO Um momento Qualquer, Mesmo Durante O Julgamento.

O Acidente Ocorreu em 10 de Março de 2019, Em um Voo da Etiópia Airlines que ia de Adis Abeba para Nairóbi. O Avião Caiu Seis Minutos Após Um descolage, Matando Todos OS 157 OCUPANTES.

Familiares de 155 Vítimas Processaram Um empreendimento Boeing Abril de 2019 e Março de 2021 por Homicídio Culposo e Negligência. 27 De Março Deste Ano, Havia 18 Processos em andamento, Segundo Uma Fonte Próxima do Caso.

Desde Então, Foram Resolvidos Outros quatro Processos, inclluindo os dois Conclui ontem, segundo várrias fontes. Para simplificar o Procedimento, O Juiz Federal Jorge Alonso Criou Grupos de Cinco Ou Seis AÇões e Marcou Uma Dados de Julgamento para Cada Grupo. SE TODAS Como demanda de um Grupo Chegarem A UM Acordo extrajudicial, Ó Julgamento Será Cancelado.

A Evolução Normativa da Investigação de Acidentes Aéreos: Do Anexo 13 à ISO/IEC 27037

Resumo: Este artigo propõe uma análise comparativa entre o Anexo 13 da Convenção de Chicago, documento internacional que regula a investigação de acidentes aéreos sob a égide da ICAO (Organização da Aviação Civil Internacional), e a norma ISO/IEC 27037, que estabelece diretrizes para a preservação, coleta e manuseio de evidências digitais. A pesquisa visa discutir os desafios contemporâneos enfrentados por peritos aeronáuticos diante da digitalização dos sistemas embarcados e da necessidade de uma abordagem integrada entre engenharia, direito e cibersegurança na investigação de ocorrências aéreas.

Palavras-chave: ICAO, ISO/IEC 27037, anexo 13, investigação de acidentes, evidências digitais, perícia aeronáutica, forense digital.

1. Introdução

A introdução deve contextualizar a evolução histórica das investigações de acidentes aéreos, destacando como o Anexo 13 da ICAO estabeleceu as bases para investigações técnicas independentes, com foco na prevenção de novos acidentes e não na atribuição de culpa ou responsabilidade. Além disso, deve-se abordar a crescente digitalização das aeronaves modernas, que introduz desafios relacionados à coleta e análise de evidências digitais.

2. Revisão de Literatura

A literatura especializada tem destacado, nas últimas décadas, os limites da abordagem tradicional na investigação de acidentes aéreos. Reason (1997) introduziu o modelo do "Queijo Suíço" para explicar falhas sistêmicas que se acumulam em camadas até culminar em acidentes, influenciando profundamente os protocolos de segurança e investigação. Stolzer et al. (2015) argumentam que os ciclos normativos da ICAO não acompanham a velocidade de transformação digital da aviação comercial e militar. Casey (2020), por sua vez, destaca os desafios relacionados à cadeia de custódia de evidências digitais, sobretudo em contextos onde há sobreposição entre jurisdições civis e militares. Tais autores demonstram a urgência de se repensar os instrumentos regulatórios à luz da complexidade digital contemporânea.

3. Metodologia

Abordagem: Revisão sistemática de documentos normativos (Anexo 13, ISO/IEC 27037) e estudos de caso (ex.: Voo AF447, Boeing 737 MAX).

Critérios de Seleção: Fontes publicadas entre 2010–2025, em inglês, português e francês, com ênfase em documentos da ICAO, NTSB e ISO.

Ferramentas Analíticas: Análise SWOT para identificar convergências, lacunas e riscos normativos relacionados à coleta e preservação de evidências digitais.

3. O Anexo 13 da ICAO: Princípios e Limites

O Anexo 13 define os padrões internacionais para investigações de acidentes, incluindo obrigações dos Estados envolvidos e o acesso a dados críticos, como os gravadores de voo (CVR/FDR).

O objetivo primordial é prevenir futuros acidentes, garantindo a independência das investigações.

Limitações: o Anexo 13 não aborda diretamente os desafios impostos pela digitalização dos sistemas embarcados e pela necessidade de preservação forense de dados digitais.

3. ISO/IEC 27037: Diretrizes para Evidências Digitais

A norma ISO/IEC 27037 fornece diretrizes para a identificação, coleta, aquisição e preservação de evidências digitais, garantindo sua integridade e autenticidade para uso em procedimentos legais.

Elementos-chave:

Cadeia de custódia rigorosa.

Métodos seguros para coleta e transferência de dados digitais.

Preservação das evidências em seu estado original.

Relevância no contexto aeronáutico: sistemas embarcados modernos geram grandes volumes de dados digitais que podem ser cruciais para investigações.

4. Estudos de Caso

Para reforçar a aplicabilidade das normas analisadas, este artigo incorpora dois estudos de caso emblemáticos:

4.1. Caso Lion Air 610 (2018)

O acidente com o Boeing 737 MAX da Lion Air evidenciou a presença de dados corrompidos do sistema MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System). A recuperação incompleta desses dados e a ausência de procedimentos digitais padronizados dificultaram a atribuição precisa de falhas operacionais, sugerindo a necessidade de normas que integrem diretrizes específicas para evidências digitais.

4.2. Ciberataque aos sistemas ADS-B (2023)

Relatórios independentes indicaram uma interferência digital intencional em redes de vigilância aeronáutica via protocolo ADS-B, afetando temporariamente a exatidão da localização de aeronaves em uma zona de tráfego intenso. O incidente não foi enquadrado formalmente pelo Anexo 13, revelando lacunas no tratamento de eventos cibernéticos como fontes primárias de acidentes ou incidentes.

5. Análise Comparativa: Interseções e Contradições

5.1 Quadro Comparativo entre o Anexo 13 e a ISO/IEC 27037

5.2 Análise Interpretativa

Apesar de abordarem domínios distintos, ambas as normas podem ser vistas como complementares. A ausência de diretrizes digitais no Anexo 13 compromete sua eficácia frente a cenários de falhas digitais complexas. Já a ISO/IEC 27037 não contempla as especificidades da aviação, demandando adaptações para integração setorial eficaz.

Pontos de convergência:

Ambos enfatizam a importância da integridade das evidências e da documentação detalhada.

Necessidade de procedimentos padronizados para garantir confiabilidade.

Pontos de divergência:

O Anexo 13 foca em aspectos técnicos e operacionais; a ISO/IEC 27037 trata exclusivamente de evidências digitais.

A falta de diretrizes digitais no Anexo 13 pode gerar lacunas em investigações modernas.

Proposta: Harmonizar os dois documentos, incluindo diretrizes digitais no Anexo 13, alinhando-o à ISO/IEC 27037.

5. Desafios, Limitações e Recomendações para Peritos e Estados

5.1 Desafios Identificados

Falta de formação multidisciplinar (engenharia, direito, cibersegurança).

Ausência de SOPs para coleta e análise forense digital em acidentes aéreos.

Resistência institucional à mudança normativa.

5.2 Limitações e Vieses

Soberania estatal: O Anexo 13 depende da adesão voluntária e da cooperação de Estados soberanos, o que pode comprometer a padronização global.

Conflito de interesses: Pressões econômicas e políticas por parte de fabricantes de aeronaves ou companhias aéreas podem restringir o acesso pleno a dados digitais sensíveis.

Diferenças culturais e jurídicas: A diversidade entre sistemas legais (common law vs. civil law) dificulta a universalização de procedimentos de preservação digital.

5.3 Recomendações

Capacitação multidisciplinar de peritos.

Desenvolvimento de SOPs integrados.

Cooperação internacional para garantir interoperabilidade.

5.4 Framework Proposto: ICAO Annex 13-D

Com base na análise comparativa e nos estudos de caso apresentados, propõe-se a criação de um suplemento normativo ao Anexo 13, denominado Annex 13-D, com os seguintes elementos estruturantes:

Novos Capítulos:

Digital Evidence Handling: Procedimentos para identificação, aquisição e preservação de evidências digitais, alinhados à ISO/IEC 27037.

Cybersecurity Protocols: Requisitos para proteção de dados aeronáuticos durante e após o voo, incluindo logs criptografados, autenticação multifatorial e auditoria digital.

Inovações Tecnológicas Integradas:

Blockchain para logs: Garantia de imutabilidade de dados de voo.

IA na análise forense: Uso de modelos de machine learning para detectar anomalias em dados do FDR/CVR.

SDR (Software Defined Radio): Monitoramento em tempo real de interferências em frequências críticas (ex.: GNSS).

Mecanismos Operacionais:

Criação de um Digital Evidence Preservation Kit (DEPK) obrigatório a bordo de aeronaves comerciais e militares com FMS digital.

Certificação obrigatória de peritos em conformidade com ISO/IEC 27037.

Plataforma internacional de intercâmbio técnico-jurídico para notificações de eventos com impacto digital.

6. Conclusão

A digitalização da aviação exige uma reformulação normativa urgente. A proposta do Annex 13-D busca preencher lacunas críticas, como a preservação de evidências digitais e a resposta a ciberataques, alinhando-se à ISO/IEC 27037. Recomenda-se:

Atualização dinâmica: Ciclos de revisão bienais para o Anexo 13, incorporando feedback de peritos e avanços tecnológicos.

Pesquisa futura: Estudos sobre a aplicação de blockchain e IA em investigações aeronáuticas.

Cooperação global: Criação de um consórcio internacional para padronização de SOPs digitais. A conclusão deve reforçar a necessidade urgente de revisão normativa à luz da digitalização crescente na aviação. O futuro das investigações aeronáuticas exige uma abordagem integrada entre engenharia, direito e forense digital.

Spending Time with Family

It was raining and 67 degrees here in Smithfield when I got up this morning. After a not too uncomfortable night in a strange bed.

My blood sugar was 142. I checked it at about 7:30 PST, 10:30 here in Virginia. A little earlier than normal at home, but I wasn’t going to be able to put off having coffee or eating something.

So I made a cup of coffee from a pod in Deborah’s machine. Then Deborah finished making and served a breakfast casserole of sausage, egg and cheese.

I spent some time chatting with Tim and Sue, while Tim was working on his laptop and I was typing on mine. (I notice the font I’m using mostly at home is not available on my laptop, so I’ve switched to something else: Avenir Next.)

After breakfast I went to shower. Deborah had the perfect shower solution for me: 3-in-1, hair, face and body wash from Body Works. I need to get that at home so I can wash my hair and then smear it over the rest of my body.

Sarah evidently won’t be moving in with Deborah because Deborah doesn’t keep her house warm enough. But there are other things going on with Sarah right now, while she deals with the loss of her husband.

Speaking of death, Boe’s sister who was maybe 11 months older, died just this morning. The oldest sister and youngest brother in the family are still around, but they may or may not be at the service tomorrow. The brother has issues of his own, some of them due to the loss of his own spouse a few years back.

After picking up Sarah we stopped at CVS. Then we had to plan “what to eat next,” according to Deborah.

Meanwhile, I used my iPhone to copy a bunch of photos from an old Johnson family album. I transferred them to the laptop and worked on transforming a few of them. I posted one of Mom to Facebook.

The five of us went to the Fiddlin’ Pig, a new British-style pub in Smithfield. The others all tried something from the taps. I mentioned I did not drink and the bartender immediately offered me a Guinness 0, which I accepted without delay.

Then we came back to Deborah’s place and enjoyed some leftover BBQ, beans and mac ’n’ cheese, along with a few other choices. Then they turned on “Survivor” and I am burying my head in something else on the laptop to keep my attention off that program.

Of course, in the meantime, I missed out on some conversation about Boe’s family and who and who not may be showing up at the service tomorrow at 2 p.m. Then on Friday, after we take Tim and Sue to the airport, Deborah and I (and possibly Sarah) will be going back to the veterans cemetery to lay Christmas wreaths on the family plots.

There has been no walking today. The rain has been regular, if not constant, and occasionally accompanied by severe windy conditions. Tomorrow is supposed to be clear, but colder than the last couple of days. It will make the service easier, but there probably won't be any more time for walking. Maybe I can make up for it on Friday.

Assunto foi apreciado pela 3ª Câmara de Direito Público em sessão nesta terça-feira, 20. Da tribuna, PGE/SC agradeceu a rapidez da tramitação do processo. Foto: Arquivo/Secom O edital para a restauração das pontes Pedro Ivo Campos e Colombo Salles, que ligam a Ilha de Santa Catarina ao Continente, pode continuar. A decisão foi tomada pela 3ª Câmara de Direito Público (CDP) do Tribunal de Justiça de Santa Catarina (TJSC), durante sessão realizada na manhã desta terça-feira, 20, em que a Procuradoria-Geral do Estado (PGE/SC) defendeu a continuidade do certame. O assunto foi parar na Justiça porque a empresa que ofereceu o menor preço para a realização do serviço de remoção das passarelas de pedestres desativadas das pontes questionou a inabilitação para participar da disputa expedida pelo Conselho Regional de Engenharia e Agronomia (Crea/SC). Segundo a autarquia, a empresa não teria documentos que comprovassem a execução anterior de serviços do mesmo tipo nem “Certidão de Acervo Técnico (CAT)” expedida pelo Crea/SC. Uma liminar suspendeu o andamento do edital, o que comprometeu o início dos trabalhos. A PGE/SC interveio buscando retirar o entrave judicial e viabilizar o andamento das obras. Depois do ato de inabilitação, praticado na licitação, o próprio Crea/SC revogou sua decisão administrativa que restringia a atuação da impetrante. Durante a sessão da 3ª CDP na manhã de hoje, o procurador do Estado Luiz Dagoberto Corrêa Brião afirmou aos desembargadores que o objetivo do Estado era agilizar a execução do serviço. “A Administração Pública quer apenas a legalidade estrita do procedimento administrativo. Pouco importa que seja uma empresa ou outra, o que os catarinenses precisam é que o trabalho seja feito”, disse o procurador durante a sustentação oral. O procurador-geral do Estado, Márcio Vicari, comemorou a rapidez do julgamento. “O Estado seguiu rigorosamente a legislação, inabilitando uma das empresas por força de um ato emanado do Crea/SC, competente para tanto. Posteriormente verificou-se que a restrição imposta pelo órgão de fiscalização profissional não estava correto, tanto que o próprio Crea/SC o revogou. Para o Estado o que importa é contratar a melhor empresa, de acordo com os ditames da lei, obviamente não havendo preferência por uma ou outra. Felizmente a sensibilidade do Tribunal de Justiça para a causa permitiu que o relator do recurso, desembargador Júlio César Knoll, o incluísse celeremente em pauta, viabilizando a continuidade da execução da obra, que é o objetivo final do Estado”, afirmou. Atuaram no caso os procuradores do Estado André Filipe Sabetzki Boeing, Márcio Vicari e Luiz Dagoberto Brião, que fez sustentação oral. Processo número 5040142-78.2024.8.24.0000.

No. 48 - Eurowings

We're here today to talk about Eurow

Yes, Eurowings! Did you think those five letters started any other words? Silly. Let's discuss the aerosartorial choices of Eurowings, a member of - oh dear - the Lufthansa Group.

Eurowings! Eurowings is a former regional airline formed from the 1990 merger of Nürnberger Flugdienst, a regional airline that I'd heard of, and Reise- und Industrieflug, one I hadn't. After its acquisition by Lufthansa, it has been restructured into a low-cost subsidiary, making it something of the FlyDubai of Germany. That means I am yet again courting a C&D from the Lufthansa Group, and I am delighted to throw myself on this particular blade.

The process of Eurowings's evolution into its current state is somewhat tortuous, involving the cannibalization of its old subsidiary Germanwings (yes, this was subsidiary-ception, and while it happened after 2015 it seems to have been planned before...well, you know) and the establishment of an Austrian subsidiary which was moved to Malta last year and is named - get this - Eurowings Europe.

Eurowings has been going through it of late. Well, of ever, as far as I can tell. If you've ever been frustrated by a delay, spare a thought for the passengers of 2016's Eurowings flight 131, some of whom had their visas expire while stuck in their hotels in Cuba during their 60-hour delay. Every fourth flight could expect six hours or so of unscheduled quality time at the airport. Or, you know, 20 sometimes. 20 hours. Yikes! That's what happens when you start seven long-haul routes with one (1) A330 and a handful of various and sundry wet leases. A lot of their routes have been taken over by Lufthansa proper, which seems eager to kill the brand as soon as possible, and I can't blame them given it's somehow developed a worse reputation than actual Lufthansa. I've never flown with them. They served Boston for literally three entire months, but I wouldn't have flown Eurowings anyway. For my own taste their 'cheap' prices are still fairly expensive.

The Eurowings livery is unfortunately on more than just one plane for the moment. They have 95 A320 family members and four wet-leased Boeing 737s, giving them a very typical fleet for a low cost carrier. And they look like that!

Okay, first and foremost, I want to talk about their logo. It looks a lot like LATAM's logo.

Indeed, they even both use a variation on something adjacent to blue and something adjacent to pink. I think it's definitely a coincidence - they both were unveiled in 2015 - and even if it weren't I don't respect either one enough to defend its honor from the other.

So, those colors. I think I prefer the shades chosen by Eurowings, and in a competent livery design that palette could be extremely effective. I love LATAM's saturated pink and indigo, which made the mostly-white fuselage a disappointment, and I like Eurowings's desaturated fuchsia and cyan as a combination even more, but the lack of fuselage coverage gets even sadder when it's such light colors that fail to contrast against the white at all.

Unlike LATAM, Eurowings makes use of grey as both shading and background. I like this! I think it can make for a nice base to play with and a potential source of some interesting, dynamic designs.

Oh, and the logo is meant to look like an 'E'. I guess I can sort of see it, but it looks more like me attempting to get a pen that's starting hard going again. (Don't mix inks in pens, though. Especially not fountain pens.) Anyway, I don't really love the logo's shape in isolation but I do think it could easily lend itself to some totally acceptable fuselage layouts.

It's the wordmark that I think is interesting. This is about to be a long section about fonts but I promise that one, I have a point, and two, if you keep scrolling it will stop being about fonts.

The typeface used for the Eurowings wordmark is Soleto in medium weight. It was designed by Dalton Maag, a London-and São-Paulo based foundry. You've definitely seen their work around - they've done custom fonts for the likes of Pitney Bowes, Tesco, Fox Sports, Nokia, AT&T, Airbnb, Wix, USA Today, Google, and the flipping BBC, among others. And, well, a few that I would go as far as to say are pretty iconic:

Lush Handwritten is actually gorgeous in Cyrillic, by the way.

I would say they're not my favorite foundry, with a lot of their work trending towards somewhat boring sans-serifs that are not at all to my taste (you will never replace Gill Sans), but they've had some hits. They're also no stranger to airlines - they did a custom typeface for the TUI wordmark, which appears on their livery!

Blue side up appeal aside, I definitely want to someday talk about the strange beast which is TUI, the World's Most Misogynistic Airline.

So you might think that Dalton Maag was commissioned to make a nice custom font family for Eurowings, given Lufthansa literally used their money to commission a slightly different version of Helvetica, but you would be wrong. As their website makes no mention of a custom typeface for Eurowings, despite discussing modified versions of their existing products for other companies (like Fox Sports Cricket being a variant of Aller), I believe they are indeed using off-the-shelf Soleto, available via Dalton Maag's website as well as Adobe Fonts. Now, there is nothing inherently wrong with this, and I, who cannot afford a tablet to redesign the Eurowings livery, am not trying to wealth-shame an airline for not custom-ordering a typeface. They're far from alone. Another Dalton Maag user is Cebu Pacific, which uses Foco in a bold weight to decent effect, and I firmly believe that there's no reason to commission a second Helvetica if you want to use Helvetica. SAS uses Rotis Sans, and that's a massive airline with money to spare.

I just think the contrast here is funny. I could get the right to use the full Soleto font family for the entirety of Runway Runway's branding, title, and body text for one thousand sterling, or around $1350 in USD. This is, to me, a fortune and more money than I've had at any one time in literal years. It's also definitely not what Eurowings paid. I don't know what they paid, because Dalton Maag does custom quotes for unlimited licenses, but I don't want to imagine how much it cost to commission a firm to make a second Helvetica, so this just makes me think that Lufthansa really despises Eurowings. Pointless diversion? Maybe. I just think it's funny.

I think Soleto Medium is on the uglier side. I mean, I really don't like how Eurowings uses it in the same way I don't like Helvetica or the FedEx proprietary font - I really don't like really wide sans serifs used as titling, and I'm not sure why. Is it because it reminds me of elementary school? Is it because I find them sort of illegible? Are they just...ugly? Well, there's no such thing as objective ugliness, but this is my blog and I dislike them. They're certainly not at all memorable, which frequently makes their use something of an epic branding fail.

Soleto looks better than Helvetica, I'll give it that. A lot better. It's not really the typeface, though. It's the usage. While Dalton Maag's website does say:

Soleto is a flexible font family that can adapt itself to a wide variety of uses. [...] [it] is also quite capable of standing on its own.

It opens with:

Soleto is a contemporary sans serif font family with a quietly confident character. It works well for big areas of text, creating an even rhythm and texture, but can also make a statement at larger sizes.

And I think this is totally true, actually. As body text Soleto is fine! (This is via Dalton Maag's TypeTester feature, as are all future samples.)

This is 10pt Soleto medium, and it's a solid if generic sans-serif. Not overly ugly, totally legible. I'm not sure it's meant to be used for a logo, though. When I read 'statement at larger sizes' I think...titling, not airplane livery. A title for a website and an airplane wordmark are just different orders of magnitude.

How about titling? Well, I tried my own name in a couple different weights, and I actually think Soleto looks great in black italic.

This is a bit modern for my own taste, but I think this would look fine as a wordmark. Frankly, I think it would look good as an airline livery! It's not nearly as generic, it's almost a bit stylized even, and it's legible. The italic is always something I think looks nice due to its aerodynamic implications, and with a name as long as mine you don't really notice that this also does that obnoxious thing where the bottoms of certain letters dip beneath the baseline. Let's try some other weights!

Normally I prefer lighter weights in sans serifs, but no, Soleto looks worse the thinner it gets. These are, respectively, Light and Medium. Medium is what Eurowings uses!

Oh, wow, would you look at that! One of their default color combinations is even basically the Eurowings scheme, though in reverse.

Well, this...doesn't look that bad, right? It's boring, but it doesn't actively make me wrinkle my nose.

So why is this such a problem? I mean, let's look at this picture of an airplane, as we do on this blog. I've chosen this picture because you can see a Finnair (post coming soon) plane in the background. Finnair has this neat spiky sci-fi looking wordmark, for which no typeface exists. This wordmark is absolutely huge, and in a very dark blue against white.

Meanwhile, Eurowings's logo is very similarly formatted to Lufthansa's. It's high up and closely spaced, making it feel a little claustrophobic. It's not...as bad as Lufthansa's proprietary Helvetica (Helvetica Neue Neue? Helvetica Ultra-Ultra-Condensed? Hellvetica?) but that's barely a compliment. Lufthansa has theirs well above the window-line all squished together, while Eurowings has the decency to use the windows as the underline you would think they're just perfect to be, but with a typeface that's medium weight, neither thick nor thin and with no italics or serifs, it becomes something of a small blob. To locate something that far up should be a stylistic choice. There should be no default choices in airline liveries. You can design a massive wordmark to cover the fuselage, or something which looks nice when localized to part of it, but you don't just get to do the equivalent of opening your text editor, typing in one word without indenting, and calling that a livery. Lufthansa doesn't get this, and neither, really, does any of the unfortunate airlines in the Lufthansa Group.

The color used doesn't blend into the white, but it also isn't like they're sharply contrasted. It just doesn't particularly draw your eye. It's a wordmark your eyes glide right over and it's not at all memorable. While grey or cyan could have been incorporated somehow to accentuate it, they weren't. For a livery that's mostly white to work, you generally need some sort of really vivid color. Kalitta Air's red and gold or Tibet Airlines' rainbow are examples of good use of a white fuselage. You could use a different background, but they stand on their own, and the white plays an active part in the color palette rather than just being a default canvas for it. Many airlines use black or dark blue for their wordmarks, and while these aren't the most creative choices they're used for a reason. Just look at Finnair. That's some contrast. It's nice and legible and distinct.

Icelandair's two most recent liveries use the same placement for their wordmark as Eurowings and Finnair respectively. Now, I actually like the wordmark on the old livery better. It has those nice trailing serifs and is in small caps, making it memorable and dynamic, and it doesn't feel closely spaced. The name 'Icelandair' teeters on the edge of being too long for this to work, but ultimately pulls it off. The modern livery dispenses with this much nicer font in favor of gigantic letters. While I like this less, it's still serviceable. It is gigantic, legible, and feels as natural as me sprawling out on a couch after work. It's simply expanded to its natural point. Adequately done on both archetypes.

Meanwhile, the lack of color contrast from the white fuselage was perhaps my main criticism of Air Astra's livery, which I otherwise quite like. It's probably the inverse of Eurowings, which is contrasted enough to be acceptable but entirely boring in design - well-designed, but please, please, please let me actually see it.

Eurowings just...well, I'm going to copy and paste exactly what I said earlier. There should be no default choices in airline liveries. You can design a massive wordmark to cover the fuselage, or something which looks nice when localized to part of it, but you don't just get to do the equivalent of opening your text editor, typing in one word without indenting, and calling that a livery.

And, as a final note, something that looks good on a webpage won't always look good on an airplane. The angles you'll see it from are completely different, it has to compete for the rest of the livery for your attention, and you can't necessarily put infinite space around it due to the very physically limited canvas you're working with. The Eurowings wordmark feels vertically cramped more than it does horizontally, because the windows are right below it and immediately above it the fuselage just...ends, from a two-dimensional view. Something looking okay in copy doesn't mean you can transfer it immediately to material.

Lindon Leader talked about this when discussing his design process for the FedEx logo in a very illuminating interview I cited heavily in my FedEx post. He looked at multiple pre-existing fonts but decided to create a custom one, and one of his reasons for this was:

[...] each had its potential limitations downstream in application to thousands of FedEx media, from waybills and embroidered courier caps to FedEx.com and massive signage for aircraft, buildings and vehicles. 

Something can look acceptable or even sleek on a webpage, and that same wordmark can look downright horrible when applied to an airplane. I'll say this for FedEx - while I find their logo ugly it is absolutely good at what it needs to do. It looks no worse in any one medium or context than any other, and that's one of the reasons it's successful. It's not to my taste, but it's definitely well-designed, and I think one of the ways to improve the livery would actually be to somehow give it more real estate on the fuselage.

So the wordmark is, in my opinion, an abject failure. It's not even ugly but I mean that in the same way Wolfgang Pauli describes crackpot physics as not even wrong. Like, it's fine. It's nothing showstopping or even memorable enough to be picked out of an identity parade of default webfonts but I don't despise it. It's a common phenomenon and I'm picking on Eurowings because it's there and I know exactly what font was used and thus can mess around with it, not because it's the worst. Much like Lufthansa, it's an opportunistic victim. You know, the sort of post I'll end up hyperlinking to later, because even in its failure it's nothing exceptional.

I will say I enjoy the tiny outline of black on the letters. That's not on the wordmark proper, as rendered on their website m, but adding it was definitely the right move to help the magenta stand out from the white. Once you know about it you can notice how it makes the wordmark pop ever so slightly, turning an unmitigated catastrophe into a mitigated catastrophe. It's almost infuriating that they did this thoughtful little thing when you zoom out and remember what it's in service of. This honestly is a reoccurring thing with Eurowings.

Look at that nice tail design! They could have slapped the logo on and left it at that, like so many other airlines, but they didn't. They use the same nice colors and the overlapping greys to create a design that is clearly their logo while also being abstract and dynamic. There's a lot of shapes, a lot of motion, and a lot of nice shades of cyan and magenta, and I love it!

See that airplane landing in the background? Think about what airline you think it flies for, and stick a pin in that for a minute.

Hey, uh...where's the rest of it, though?

So, yes. Eurowings shares the first five letters of its name with Eurowhite. If you're not familiar with the term (I have a glossary, by the way) it just means a livery that is almost completely white save for logos. One could argue that the fact that the pattern on the tail isn't limited to strictly the tail and does form some sort of attempt at a fuselage design means that Eurowings' livery isn't 'true' Eurowhite, but I'm not going to brook that. Eurowhite is a state of mind. There is a nice, abstract design here which could easily be extended further. There is a grey shade which could be utilized (as it is on the engines, which look like they're lost and wandered onto another livery by accident) and there are infinite ideas to be had on the planet, and instead the majority of the plane is just white.

If one thing is thought of as my thesis from this post, let it be this, said for the third time: there is no such thing as default. Things like this wordmark placement, this type of font, and the primarily white fuselage are not default. The fact that they are common and boring does not make them inherent until replaced. They are still an active choice just as much as designing a livery that doesn't utilize these features is. It was proposed, iterated on, signed off on, and implemented. Airlines don't start with a template they then alter. They start with a vast world of infinite possibilities and decide they want to do the same thing as everyone else - that's a choice just how any other act of cowardice is a choice. I think the misconception that boring design is a result of inertia and lack of effort is a harmful one. It is a choice. They choose to do this.

They do not choose it because it is right for their livery, because they like it. They choose it because it is common, it is safe. It is reliable and it doesn't rock the boat. I've said this before discussing Southwest and Flair - low-cost carriers should be willing to rock the boat. If you're going to advertise yourself as the no-frills option you shouldn't try to look all composed and corporate. You have nothing to lose with being bright and pretty and interesting, so why aren't you?

And that cowardice is what makes me hate it so much. Some liveries are ugly, and some are almost ugly but stop halfway to cower in a Eurowhite bunker in an attempt to stem the bleeding, but there's nothing more tragic than a livery so afraid of being ugly that it cuts off and cauterizes something beautiful. The fear of ugliness is the death of beauty. condor is worth one billion Eurowings.

(No, Eurowings does not fail the Star Alliance Test, though.)

Like many of these designs that sort of just decide to stop after the tail, the longer a plane is the worse the Eurowings livery is on it. This is a very nice tail attached to a big white tube. Sure, Eurowings mostly operates somewhat short aircraft, but that wasn't the case when the livery was designed - back then they had A330s. Even now they have A321s.

Frustratingly, given how much I've ragged on this livery, I do still really like the tail. Even more frustratingly, you can see how easy it would have been to not have it be this way. The end of the cyan stripe almost begs to be held onto, weaved onto the rest of the fuselage, but it just isn't. It looks unfinished. It looks sad.

With all these shades of cyan and magenta to play with, the light heavily alters the way the colors on the tail look. They're never not pretty. It's a lovely colorscheme that's dramatically underutilized. The way it weaves together has so much potential, and it's attached to a white body. It looks like the paint job is unfinished. And that's what I hate the most about Eurowhite - good ideas left to languish, where a bit of custom letterhead does a better job of expressing your identity than an airplane livery.

The one feature Eurowings has towards the front of the plane is this little cheek decal of the Eurowings logo. Nice thought, but it almost looks actively worse when it stands out like that among an otherwise blank space. Plus, it's so small it might as well be a dot. It's cute, but in terms of overall effect on the livery it has the effect of making something mostly white look cluttered, which is just downright bizarre.

Obviously I can't endorse this. While not quite at the Lufthansa Line, with the actual bit of design happening on the tail instead of a sterile block, it doesn't cover much more fuselage than a proper exemplar of the phenomenon, and that's just always going to be a bit of a kneecap. Eurowhite is a state of mind, so much so that I almost think an unremarkable sans-serif font is as much of a codifying feature as a white body despite not being specified anywhere in the term. The same decision-making process leads both places, and the little black outline and cheek stamp and nice tail design just cant overpower that.

I'm giving Eurowings a D+.

Eurowings reminds me most of Saudia. They both have gorgeous colorschemes wasted on a design which burrows itself down as far into the substrate of artistic cowardice as physically possible. It's especially tragic and leaves me fighting myself over my final ratings. It feels wrong to grade such a gorgeous tail so harshly, but the good design features just make the bad package even more insulting. And at the end of the day I just have to put my foot down.

Sometimes I'm generous with grading because an airline is new, or because they're iterating on something that could be taken in a good direction. Eurowings isn't in the process of developing towards something nice, it's just Eurowings. It's an airline that stranded people in Cuba for 60 hours and Lufthansa seems to want it dead. I don't think we'll be getting a Eurowings livery overhaul anytime soon and I'm pessimistic about its longevity in general. Low-cost carriers and subsidiaries of large airlines are both easy come, easy go. Tears in the rain. 'Twas ever thus. Try not to get too attached.

Remember that plane from earlier? Yeah, I've got no clue what airline it flies for, but I don't think I can rule out it being Eurowings. 'Twas ever thus.
