The biggest difference between the Airbus A330 series and the A320 series is that, apart from the larger size and longer length, the shape of the wing tip has changed, and the gear set of the landing gear has changed into two rows ...
Boeing aircraft also operate in three control modes. They are known as Normal mode, Secondary mode, and Direct mode. The big difference between the Airbus and Boeing control laws/ modes is that in the latter when the pilot makes a control input, it is first sent to Actuator Control Electron...
We atch-aviationkeep track of all aircraft deliveries in real-time. This week, we ran a 2022 aircraft deliveries “Airbus vs Boeing” report and here are some interesting insights: Airbushas led in aircraft deliveries for the past four years, with the most substantial difference in 2019 due t...
A critical difference between the Dreamlifter and the Beluga is the cargo access. The Beluga has an opening front nose door similar to that seen on the Boeing 747 but above the cockpit area for full fuselage access. The Dreamlifter, however, has a more unusualswing tail door. For Boeing, t...
Both Boeing and Airbus have trumpeted the efficiency of their newest aircraft, the 787 and A350 respectively. Their clever designs and lightweight composites certainly make a difference. But a group of researchers at Stanford University, led by Ilan Kroo, has suggested that airlines could take a...
Presents an update on the competition between Boeing and Airbus amidst commercial aeronautics growth as of May 2005. Factors that make a difference in the market share of Boeing; Success of Airbus in capturing leadership in the industry installed base in narrowbodies; Prediction on the success leve...
In this sense, the difference between a globalized market and a collection of national ones is not at all clear. In the commercial aircraft industry, however, the term "global" still applies. Though production is still overwhelmingly national (Boeing, a U.S. company) or regional (Airbus, a...
To compete with the Airbus A320-NEO, the Max had larger engines than previous 737 models. They were designed for greater range and fuel efficiency but came with a tradeoff. Since the 737 sits so low to the ground, Boeing had to change the position of the engines on the wing to give th...
aircraft of the family were delivered (85 A319, 116 A320 and 35 A321) compared to 223 737s. Since then Airbus has taken the lead in the relative market share between both families, with the exception of 2015 (49.8% – 50.2% for Boeing; with 4 aircraft making the difference – 491 vs...
• And as a final type-wide difference, consider the rear of the fuselage. On Airbus aircraft (but not the A380 or A350), the fuselage continues straight to the APU exhaust. On Boeing aircraft, it usually tapers downwards. Four-engine widebodies ...
