@plsniper not a good idea goin down that route. From AV Web, dated Oct 26th 1997 USAir 427:

"What is known is that the aircraft encountered wake turbulence from a preceding aircraft while at 6,000 feet and 190 knots. The effects of the wake should have been easily recoverable. However, a few se...

@wowdude999 Larger turbofans on the neo means higher bypass ratio = greater fuel efficiency, superior thrust and less noise. 737MAXs airframe restricts fan size to 68". Neo will have 78" CFM or 81" P&W. Boeing should have designed a totally new craft, not re-use a 1960s frame as a base. It'll be ...

Boeing are gettin desperate. This is the 3rd time they've used the same airframe but added new engines. Used to be a good aircraft, now just dull n dated. Cramped cabin, cramped cockpit, a real cattle truck. Great for airlines, poor for passengers.

@LottoWinner999 Man, you are such an embarrassment and a moron. You must be crazy to say that ElAl flight was sabotage, but then you're known as LottoLoser..lol!. You're just a deluded fanboy and jus disrespectful to all who died that day. The aircraft had fatigue cracks in the pylon locking pin ...

@rockymountainrandom well no one's gonna know until the 2 go head to head. In the meantime its all speculation and spin.

@ikolkyo967 Is that cos the 787 is outdated, being 3+ years late n all?

No contest! The A380 is soooooo much better. 747 was good but this beats it in jus every department. More room for passengers, wider seats everywhere, greater comfort, quieter, more technology. Sorry guys but take off those Boeing blinkers and see how the rest of the world likes to travel. Shower...

@aspiringdrummer17 Seems like Transaero will be joining up with AB on the A380. Read they'll be carrying 700 on theirs if press reports are true. Rumors say Aeroflot may now buy out of national pride.

@hamellious Your comments are jus those of envy dude. If the aircraft were that bad, why has it sold way more than the 747 to the world's airlines. The 747 had the market to itself so it should have taken the orders, right? As it is, Airbus have orders for 236 from 18 airlines, Boeing have 36 Int...

Seems China Eastern prefer the Airbus on this cos they just cancelled their order for 24 787s and bought 15 A330s instead. Guess they got fed up waiting for Boeing to deliver. Now a report comes out sayin Boeing will need to sell 1500 787s to make any profit.

Looks better than the 748I IMO an selling better too. Everyone keeps sayin the Intercontinental is better than A380 but it ain't sellin anywhere near as many and now Qatar have just said "not interested". Just a bunch of self appointed "experts" thinkin they know better than the airlines FDs. Not...

@alexoooe Thats like comparing apples and pears. You got a mid sized long range twin v a supersized quad setup. Stylistically, the Dreamliner takes the medal and will be cheaper to operate with lower fuel costs and some, but the A380 can be configured to be more luxurious overall, given its much ...

@Brad1711 ..So as airlines compete in the long haul market, the trend seems to be that A380 operators are using that extra 35% cabin space to maximise the profit potential of the product. We see this with Korean's A380 operating a 407 seat cabin, the upper deck of which is 100% business class. Si...

Great to see these birds comin to our shores in increasing numbers. I gotta say that as much as I love Boeing, Airbus has built a great aircraft here. More efficient and modern than the 748, bigger cabin, more luxuries and doin really well according to operators n passenger groups. Great technica...

Sorry, but IMO this old bird should have been retired. The 400s were classier/much better looking and the distinctive frontal hump has been replaced by what looks to be a half deck! The 777ER will do almost the same job cheaper. Sad end for the icon, which has been superceded and outsold by the a...

@AdverbAdjective Airbus had the 1st wide-bodied twin in the A300. So the 757/767 could be said to have copied Airbus, right? How about digital fly-by-wire. Isn't it true that the A320 was the first civil aircraft to use DFBW, now adopted by Boeing on the 777/787? All developments in technology wi...

@Ahuntsicspotter That ain't gonna happen it seems. BA were offered the 747-8 but when they did a comparison, they found the A380 to be the better all round aircraft and more suited for their needs. Their CEO said it was mainly down to buying the aircraft that could increase passenger numbers whil...

@prohelipilot1 Yeah, kinda funny when you consider Airbus's A300 was copied by the 767, the A330 by the 777; Airbus introduced digital fly by wire on the A320, Boeing eventually got around to it on the 777, Airbus introduced composites, Boeing followed. And now Airbus announces the A320neo, quick...

@jaffacake1578 You got your figures wrong. As you see from the figures below, of AA's order for the 737, only half are for the MAX. Where do you get 300 from??

100 737NG family beginning 2013

100 737RE family beginning 2017 - global launch customer

130 A320 family beginning 2013

130 A320NEO ...

@LottoWinner999 In reality, I worry little about the bullshit you come out with and accusations of me and others being anti-American just cos we tell the truth and you don't like what you hear. Live with it man, the world's more than just Boeing Corp. though anyone talkin to you would think it we...
