Could Boeing the airplane company beat the Airbus A380 with a bigger and better airplane?
They could, if the market and infrastructure would support it. The A380 is still built to fit a standard large aircraft parking spot, it is twice the weight of a 747, but it isn’t twice the size.
Will they? Boeing’s current rhetoric is that people want to fly point to point efficiently rather than center to center with feeder flights. The Airbus view is that with growing demand and limited space and flight slots they need to get as many people into each slot as efficiently as possible. There’s a good chance that both are true. The 787 addresses Boston to Oakland but it isn’t an answer for SFO to LHR, three 787s can’t compete against one A380 because there aren’t the takeoff slots to allow the extra aircraft to fly.
Boeing is Aeons ahead if Airbus? Oh save me from the groundless BS! Americans are always running around shouting “USA Number One!” Airbus has been seen by the industry, over the last few years, to be years ahead of Boeing, that’s why Airbus has been outselling Boeing consistantly. Though not this year. But Airbus will fix their current issues.
There’s a lot of people crowing about the problems Airbus has right now, but the A380 was certified about a week ago. You know what this terrible disasterous A380 problem is? Wiring. They had some issues with the wiring harness due to some subcontractor having an incompatible version of their CAD software. Wiring is a hugely complex task, but there’s nothing fundamental wrong with the aircraft. The first 787 hasn’t been built and they’ve already trashed a hull section because it had voids in the composite, this doesn’t compare well to the A380 losing one non-structural part on the ultimate load test. Having the wrong light attached to a switch doesn’t compare to having a hull section fail under load. Boeing know they have taken a huge gamble with the 787, it is being built all over the world and they are praying that all the bits go together when they arrive at the asembly line. If they don’t then the embarrasment of a bad wiring harness in the A380 may look like nothing.
The Airbus answer to the 787 is the A350 which will be an all new aircraft. It is worth remembering that some airines are so comitted to Airbus that they have ordered that instead of the 787.
It will be interesting to see if any external opposition arrises to this two horse race.
