____________________________________________________________
Boeing and Airbus dominate commercial aviation. The two have a functional duopoly - controlling 88% of the commercial aircraft market. And that market is huge - projected to reach a staggering $170 billion by 2030.
To capture as much of that pie as possible, both sides are constantly pushing the technological envelope. They’ve poured innumerable resources into R&D, exploring radical innovations like novel materials, hydrogen propulsion, and even folding wings.
Coby: But, what if I told you that the biggest competitive differentiator that Airbus has has nothing to do with crazy futuristic technology? In fact, this particular competitive advantage has existed for decades, and has helped Airbus win countless deals over the years. So, what is it? What exactly is this Airbus secret weapon? Let me explain…

I think the biggest advantage of Airbus is the feeling that the company is not run by people managing it by an Excel sheet to gouge the last penny out of every corner, but by managing it from a drawing board perspective trying to win with the safest and overall best product. And the focus is on "feeling". Of course Airbus is a business which needs to bring in profits.

Regardless of whether one considers the A380 a success or not, the cockpit commonality has been useful. Airlines have been able to get aircrew at competitive rates to fly it, and aircrew have been happy to fly it knowing it’s not a training dead end in their career path. So it’s not as if the megabus comes with unbearable personnel costs. That actually counts for quite a lot.

As an Airbus engineer and Cockpit Systems Integrator, the most important and critical systems necessary for safely flying (manual and on autopilot), including cockpit aesthetics, are exactly identical across all Airbus aircrafts.. The differences are addition of new features and functions to increase pilot comfort and lower workload.. With newer generation of on-board systems and Airbus's retrofit policies, soon the mixed flying configuration will become seamless for the pilots.

The A330neo is definitely my favourite Airbus airframe. It's accidentally gorgeous as the old A330 nicked the A340s wing after ETOPS happened, putting an already high aspect ratio wing on a smaller, lighter aeroplane produced an incredibly low induced drag setup, and the Neo rework cemented that with those beautiful blended sharklets, and simplified high lift system. You can usually tell when either an A330 or 787 is passing overhead, because its wake (evidence by contrails) is barely even there, it just whispers by...

Its worth saying that the 757 and 767 had commonality, but not with the 777 and 787. So replacing the 737 with the 757 as many people suggest would not help

@09archange 2 месяца назад

As surprising as it maybe, Boeing can’t just up and decide to change the configuration of their 737, the 737 is the most successful most widely used narrow body aircraft in the world, this will mean that if Boeing decides to change the cockpit then EVERY pilot who flies the 737 will have to be retrained if the airline wants to use them on the new 737, one of the major reasons why airlines don’t switch allegiance is because of needing to retrain the crew, but for most airlines, since you are going to be retraining you crew anyway why not try to get the better aircraft, and in today’s market, you don’t want your customers second guessing whether they should purchase from you or not, basically it will give airbus extra market share for free.

The 797 was supose to have commonality with 787 and 777. So ever boeing pilot around for 787 and 777 could fly it with just the short course. The other would have 20 years to swich over

Subscribed, Liked, now commenting: I personally love the a380, not just because of its size, but also because of its story. As the plane makes a remarkable comeback, I think it's amazing that the plane only a few years ago, many considered the plane to be a failure, and now airlines are asking Airbus for an a380NEO and reintroducing the jets back into their fleet. The size itself is spectacular also. As a young aviation enthusiast and planespotter, I still remember the excitement when I first saw an Emirates a380 while in San Francisco. The massive and spectacular plane has captured the interest of many young minds and planespotters, and that (for me) is the main reason I love the a380 so much. ✈✈✈✈✈

While of course it can change from airline to airline I've always found even in Economy having the two-four-two setup lets me travel with my partner in comfort.

My favourite narrow body aircraft is the A320. I've spent countless hours on Microsoft Flight Simulator flying the plane across various routes. Also, it's a plane I've flown a lot, and the CFM 56 engine on TOGA is the most amazing sound my ears have ever heard. In terms of wide body, it's the A380. It's such a unique aeroplane. The different products it offers, like Emirates, Qatar, Etihad, ANA, and others, make it stand out from the crowd. It's also such a comfortable plane, the cabin is very quiet. But the most important thing is my connection with this plane. I was 12 years old, and we were getting back from a trip to Dubai. We had a lot of luck, we were flying from Dubai to Amman, and it was an a380. I was very excited, I had a a380 t-shirt and a badly made A380 model, but it didn't matter. A flight attendant noticed it, she came up to me and my dad and asked me if I'd like to see the cockpit, of course I said yes. She left to ask the captain and came back to accompany me there. The captain showed me everything, I didn't understand much, but the excitement was too much. This was truly an exciting flight.

Great video! And the explanation about Starlux was a great example. My favorite Airbus has to be the A380. It's so comfortbable, quiet, and commands so much attention. And showers in the sky! My goodness.

Eventhough I'm a Boeing fan, my most favourite Airbus is the a330N, because of the mask, the engine sound and tye LDG gear convined are pretty good-looking. Oh, and my shirt size is medium

My favorite Airbus jet is the A350. Something about it just turns heads and the curves are aesthetically pleasing. I always get excited when I see one.

I love the Airbus jumboliner A380. It is a marvel. I did not know about the commonality of cockpit. That really is a huge unique selling point.

A321 Neo is my favorite so far. I recently flew to Atlanta on Delta and I particularly chose an early morning flight to experience this plane. It was so new and comfortable. Also having entertainment on a 3 hour flight was awesome. I got to go inside the first commercial Boeing 747 at the Delta museum in Atlanta which was phenomenal. Still looking forward to flying in one with Lufthansa sometime soon.😊

@worldlinerai Месяц назад

The first 747 is with the Museum of Flight in Seattle. You're talking about the first 747-400 which got heavily computerized and modernized in the late 1980s. It was built for Northwest which merged into Delta in 2010.

I like the A350 because it has cool sunglasses and it's just an Airbus (to all Boeing lovers, it has a dining table for pilots, what can beat that?)

I absolutely love the A320Neo series. They’re incredibly silent, have a lot of range and don’t even get me started on the a321neo. It’s just a cheat code. When having fifty more seats than the a320neo it still packs that 6400 km range

Massive A380 fan. Have been ever since I first saw it at the 2012 Farnborough air show. I took there branding to heart. Love at first flight ❤️ I have also flew on this aircraft from London to Dubai and it is the most spacious, beautiful and amazing aircraft in the sky. Gutted that they stopped production 😢

@brahmhenkins8732 2 месяца назад

The odd one out in the Airbus lineup is probably the A220, being designed by Bombardier. But the basic layout is still similar, so it would probably not be impossible to modify the layout in future to have more commonality with other Airbus products.

Favorite Airbus plane is the A318! I've flown the type on Air France many years ago and it was like a "jumbo shrimp" kind of experience: seating numbers akin to a regional jet but the size of a proper 3x3 single aisle jet. It had a novelty factor that eventually tanked it (and to wit: I prefer the flight experience of the A220) but it was a cool outlier.

@hulklovesaviation7535 Месяц назад

My favorite Airbus jet family is A350 and I like the A350-900 variant cause I simply just believe A350-1000 is too big for a lot of market, whereas the A350-900 jet will gives a lot of fluctuation options for a network planning team, which will somehow helps them to boost their profit at least it will helps them to mitigate their losses. By the way i love A350 family just because of it's aerodynamic design and also because of it's cockpit window.

I’ve got to say, the airbus a380 is a masterpiece. For me this is particularly because of its safety. The FBW technology specifically on the A380 offers some of the most precise controlling and maneuverability.. also! the aircraft has some extensive redundancy systems, making it one of the most highly reliable and safe to fly airbus aircraft.

@Glass1maker Месяц назад

Flying from LA to London on an A380 with an aero engineer, we were hugely impressed by its smoothness and quietness. So I was sad when I heard Airbus were going to discontinue making their best plane, and then delighted that the decision was reversed. Long Live the A380.

For Starlux's Chairman, he is a Pilot himself and always the first one fly those new airplane back to Taiwan. He is the guy who knows how good Airbus is and will keep as a loyal customer since.

The flight deck commonality was a stroke of genius by Airbus. Amazing that you can fly A320 in the morning on a 50 min flight to London-Hamburg then fly A350 to Shanghai in the evening. The 787 flight deck is also very nice and as Coby said they need to draw a line under the 737 and move on to a new range of jets while keeping the same flight deck design and UI in all of them. I really hope the "max" is the last 737 variant we will see. Time for a new single aisle fresh design.

@BADonnelly65 2 месяца назад

Thanks, Coby for a terrific posting. I think you nailed it as far as Airbus’ super power. After 15k hours flying A320s and 319s, my very first time setting foot on an A321 last month was as the captain and pilot flying. Despite being 22 years newer than our last aircraft purchased factory new, it was pretty much a non event other than having the latest displays and comm gear (CPDLC). I’ve often said that if you dropped me and an experienced FO in any other Airbus with no training, I think with an extra 10 minutes to get acclimated, we’d be able to fly it safely. That being said, even after recently experiencing the A321,I still love my old familiar A320s the best. Still, I’d love to try the huge A380 on for size😁.

@enderbeam8089 2 месяца назад

A320 is my fave. Ever since I was a small child I always went to Austria to visit family, and flew with Austrian Airlines on their airbus a320. The more I went, the more excitement built up in me as we took of from the runway at light speed. It was always a thrill for me, and I hear others say that being a pilot is so boring because it's a routine job, but because we only went a couple times a year, for me it was something to always look forward to as a treat, and I still go to Austria and to other places this day. Other aircraft like the a350 and the a380 are really nice and I love them too, but for this reason the A320 holds a special place in my heart ❤.

My favorite airbus plane is the A321XLR but not only because it is a gamechanger but because I had the honour to work on the first prototype myself. It was the first plane I helped building. I won't forget its first take off. (Those Shirt designs are quite nice ;) )

Got to be the 380 followed by 321. The 380 just from the avgeek and sci/eng perspective what an amazing thing to behold. 321 as a workhorse it amazingly comfortable in set up (flew it a lot for work) can’t wait for XLR

I really like this channel because your explanations are simple and easy to understand. My favourite Airbus aircraft is the A320 Neo as I've flown this aircraft many times in India. I've also flown the Emirates A380 and the landing was so smooth. I like the joystick controls and glass cockpits in Airbus aircraft. Because of the similarity in cockpit design it is easier for pilots to upgrade their type rating.

First, great video! Favourite Airbud? Of course, must be the A380, all the way!! Very silent and smooth ride, so much space to fit in all kinds of amenities. Take off is the best, before you think you have enough speed to take off, she's already in the air!!!
