I would not say the 343 did quite well against the 772. A340-300 entered service in 1993 and 777-200 in 1995. However, the 1995 version of 772 is the "A" model. It was designed to fly medium range routes, not long range routes. The competitor of 772A model is really the A330-300, not A340...
Jump to postEngines. The GE90-115B was a big success and tailor-made for the 777W, the Trent 500 not so much. If Airbus would have gone for the proposed PW GTF or GE would have decided to offer the proposed scaled down GE90, it would have been less one sided. But a quad with inferior engines, has not much chance.
Jump to postYou could make a point that a A322 seems like a way better idea to improve the line-up.
Jump to post*note that the ACAP shows exactly the same range for a 242T CEO or 242T NEO at max payload.. But is the max payload the same? Less fuel should be required to fly a neo than a ceo the same distance at the same take off weight. Yes, it's the same (at least for the pax version). They increased the MZF...
Jump to postWe can't ignore the A320 was hugely successful in its first 25 years. Meanwhile the market changed. Earlier in this topic I showed a graph with NB seat capacity development over the last 20 years (post 171) https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1465375&start=150#p22992751 Boei...
Jump to postI was considering asking you the same. Considering the performance data published by Airbus. The NEO is able to carry at least the same payload or more. No. The ACAP clearly shows that the NEO's max payload is similar to that of the CEO. The NEO's MZFW has increased by about as much as its empty we...
Jump to postBecause since 2002, which was about the first time the idea was floated, Airbus ignored those customers... Or in other word: Time did tell.

Jump to postCurious: Why would one use max number of seats rather than figuring out how each frame would accommodate the needs of a particular large customer? Wouldn't that be a little-more useful? Maximum number of seats is limited by stuff other than just interior space. So how would, say, Delta outfit each ...
Jump to postIt has a lower fuel burn. So except for really short hops, the reduced amount of fuel allows for more payload.
Jump to postThe NEO's MZFW hasn't increased as much as its OEW has so depending on how much weight they can remove from the frame during conversion, the max payload for the NEO will not be better that the CEO, maybe even slightly worse. The only benefit to a customer would be the decreased fuel consumption, bu...
Jump to postThe big problem is that politicians never wanted a good airport, they wanted to use the funds for the local economy and for their own budgets. So instead of hiring one contractor to build a functioning airport, they hired one for the design, one for concrete works, one for the air conditioning, one ...
Jump to postBoeing would have to react to this and make a 737-7.5 MAX, as the A320 shows that there clearly is a market for a plane between the 737-7MAX and 737-8MAX.
Jump to postWho is on the other end of the lever? He hasn’t worked for Boeing since 2018 and the DOJ found no evidence executives pressuring him to do what he did. They were very specific about that in the report. The department ultimately determined that an independent compliance monitor was unnecessary based...
Jump to postPlease note, by some here, there is a big general error in thinking. Everyone, who starts with "what would Boing do", "what would an American company do", "What do I believe as an American, what they shall do"....You have already failed. Airbus will never do, what you ...
Jump to postSeriously what do you expect from an airport run by states that would not mind having no airport at all? You can not even get a cab at BER and if you do, the price you will pay depends on the number plate and if it says "B" or "LDS".
Jump to postStrangely this large gap seems to have not hindered sales in so far. On the other hand if we look at Boeing it seems like the small differences in size are not really appreciated by the airlines.
Jump to postThe other point is, that if Airbus is pondering an A322, stretching the A321 and A320 is not attractive.
Jump to postWell, the analysis should make for happy faces at Boeing, as the 777-9 will be great when bigger is better.
Jump to postIf they decide to wait till 2035 for even moderate product development, they should expect smaller addressable markets in some parts of the world as regulators really start taxing aviation emissions.

Jump to postIt is not a problem. Air travel in Germany will reduce in the coming decades. Making it unattractive is positive.
Jump to postNice, hopefully it will make people fly less.
Jump to postNice solution. I am still thinking we should be ready for half standing seats at 25".
Jump to postThis happens if you think Airbus and Boeing only exist to beat each other, while they are actually meant to make money. We have seen crazy ideas like doing a new aircraft for less than 5% gain in efficiency, or doing a new wing for 3% efficiency or 10% more range to fly some fringe routes. Fact is t...
Jump to postThey need a product viable after 2035, the technology for that is not ready. CFM wants to got Open Rotor, so the whole design will have to adjust. A new plane with existing engines, or small up-dates of existing engines, is dead by 2035.
Jump to postThe basic thing that changed is that in the 1950ies the airframe was designed to match the engine today the engine is designed to match the airframe.
Jump to postAn A321 makes more money. In Toulouse Airbus was building A320s only, with Hamburg (and Mobile) taking care of the all A321's. Fine until the balance started to move. Now Toulouse will shift to A321s too. Politics. https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/press-releases/en/2021/05/airbus-resumes-work-on-mod...

Jump to postThe A321 sells because it is often the logical replacement of the A320, that you ordered 15 years ago. The natural growths of demand, means that a A321 is the better choice on routes currently seeing the A320. Another point is that there are very few A321CEOs to be had used. Imho Airbus needs to la...

It seems understandable that the French feel stabbed in the back.
In the end it is only important by the fact, that they do not compete with themselves by offering A223 and A319s. In the end the whole segment seems is not seeing too many sales anyway. That's the posturing bit, in reality they do compete with themselves by having two overlapping products that are ...
Jump to postAs I said in an older post. Airbus is not even actively marketing the A319NEO (except the CJ) at the moment. It is a "on request" option. If an airline is looking at planes in the market segment, Airbus offers the A223 first, but if an airline wants A320+A321s and some A319s as well, they...
