&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Boeing has finalized the all-important fan diameter for the 737 MAX  derivative program at 68 in., answering a growing number of questions  from would-be operators and bolstering the twin jet’s credibility in  continuing campaigns against Airbus’s successful A320NEO.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Few days before what seems to be the final selection between Rafale  and Eurofighter for MMRCA, Washington is trying a last minute maneuver  to derail the Indian choice, reiterating its offering of the Joint  Strike Fighter to New Delhi.

India has already made  its choice, which seems solid, developing its own &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://asia-defense.blogspot.com/2011/11/us-and-india-defense-coperation.html#more&quot;&gt;Read more »&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://asia-defense.blogspot.com/2011/11/us-and-india-defense-coperation.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-215980077221615862.post-5460282984646544473</guid><pubDate>Sat, 05 Nov 2011 13:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-11-05T18:08:57.680+05:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">FIGHTER JETS</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">INDIAN AIR FORCE</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">INTELLIGENCE</category><title>India Closed Bids Of Dassault, EADS</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;
