I think it was just luck that the market for this class picked up at the right moment and the B757 was not in production. Boeing closed the B757 line because it wasn't selling well. Who would've known that the market would turn around. If Boeing knew that they'd be producing a B757 Max now.

@@jean-yvesferry4669 well, Airbus made mistake with A380s anyway, because they're believing in hub-spoke model. their main advantage is A320s is 80's design, compare to B737s that is 60's design, and even B757 is 80's design, it's still heavier, compare to A321 series. they have model that can cope and adapt with latest design, i.e. higher ground clearance for larger diameter fan engine and stretching the length further..

I don’t see why narrow body planes are perceived as less comfortable than wide body ones. To me the seat size matters not the plane body. Neo is indeed an excellent plane and I would be happy to fly long distance

@ivanviera4773 Год назад

Yeah sometimes even seat width its wider than in widebodies.

@sainnt Год назад

When it comes to longhaul, there's a difference for sure, and here are 4 examples: 1. Widebody aircraft are more comfortable at cruising altitude. That's why the A380 is such a passenger favorite. 2. A widebody feels less cramped when it's full, perhaps because it's more spacious and so feels more airy. 3. When a narrowbody is used for longhaul, the airline is able to load much lesser catering, so they run out food and passengers are usually not able to get their preferred meals and/or drinks. 4. The widebody has more lavatories, so passengers have access to 6 or more lavatories, not lining up as much to share only two in the rear of the aircraft. I've flown longhaul in both narrowbody and widebody, and given a choice, I'll always choose a widebody for any flight, let alone a longhaul one.

Narrow bodies make some people feel claustrophobic. (Me)

@davidbennetts616 Год назад

@@sainnt Very much agree with what you say. I recently flew Sydney to Perth and back opting to fly Qantas because they offered a wide body A330 on that route against Virgin's 737-800. I had flown an A321 with Air New Zealand across the ditch and with a full plane found it much more claustrophobic by comparison. Their aircraft offer 3 lavatories, one at front, one in the middle and one at back. Not enough in my opinion for about 240 pax. Have no desire to fly on this aircraft again, it is good for economics of operators but falls short on passenger comfort as far as I'm concerned.

I fly across the Tasman regularly, and usually in Widebodies (A380, A330, B777, B787) but recently went in a 320neo, and was surprised as to how nice it was. The cabin was quiet, the seat configuration was fine, and I would have been happy to have been on the flight for longer.

Jup… Boeing failed with the 737-10Max a max capacity of 220, while the 321NEO can offer around 15-20 more, in airline business that’s a lot of money. They really should’ve made a 757Max, based on the 757-2. Composite body, new engines… The 220-250 a 757 could carry would’ve been ideal for a lot of carriers.

I've never been on an A321neo, but I've been on an A320neo for four times with HK Express, Lufthansa, and easyJet. The former two are powered by Pratt & Witney's 1127G-JM engines, while the latter is powered by CFM International's LEAP-1A26 engines. I found that these engines are quieter than the Airbus A320ceo. Despite being the next-generation narrowbody aircraft for Airbus, it still has barking dog noises just like the Airbus A330neo.

@sainnt Год назад

Boeing invented the formula, so it's rather odd that they chose not to modernize the 757. During recent interviews with the Dave Calhoun, it seems Boeing wants to keep aiming for aircraft with as much future technology as possible. A 757 Max would have been a profitable stop gap, and a great source of revenue for them while they worked on future aircraft. Boeing could have easily sold 1000 units. Airbus has done a great job of capitalizing on the Boeing lapse of judgement.

@johniii8147 Год назад

Well past time to let the 757 fanboy go. It's been dead for years. Even at it never sold well. Was on sale for 30 years and only managed 1000 units. It never sold well outside of North America. And, selling only 1000 a NEO wouldn't be worth the investment. The production line, tooling for it etc have been gone for 15+ years now. It's also very heavy relative to the 737 and 321 and their are no engines right in the thrust range it would need.

@sainnt Год назад

@@johniii8147 I wouldn't want the 757 to be built today. I'm just saying that it should have been modernized when Boeing had the chance. A new engine would have been built for it. Also, selling 1000 units was pretty amazing for a niche aircraft, and of the 1,050 produced, over 640 of them are still flying, a testament to the durability of the airframe. I hear that same argument about the 737 all the time, but the A320 is no longer a spring chicken either, and airlines are still buying the 737 for a good reason. A good airframe is a good airframe, especially if it can be improved the way these other so-called new aircraft have been. Airbus fanboys like calling the A320neos new. Yeah right. In reality, the only 'new' aircraft we have out there are the 787, A350 and A220. All the other ones are pigs with good lipsticks on.

Although feasible for the fuselage, there are no suitable engines currently available. So it is a case of either waiting for new engines such as one of the smaller variants of the next generation of engines such as the designed to be suitably scaleable RR Ultrafan, or loosing enough weight, by, for example, a new much lighter composite wing, possibly along with the use of lighter alloys (as used on the A220) and a greater use of composites elsewhere so that the thrust from the current engines becomes sufficient.

@samuelbarringer715 Год назад

The Airbus a321 Neo is a good aircraft and it can replace a lot of the capabilities of the Boeing 757 aircraft but not all. The Airbus a321 Neo has almost the same capacity but is still roughly 9 feet shorter than the Boeing 757 and the Airbus a321 Neo cannot replace the takeoff performance that the Boeing 757 can take off from a shorter runway since the Boeing 757 has a larger wing with more powerful engines. The Airbus a321 Neo comes close to the Boeing 757 while being cheaper to operate than the Boeing 757.

@johniii8147 Год назад

That short runway performance is actually rarely needed and increases it operating cost significantly being over powered for 95% of missions. And as you said, both the 321 and 737-9/10 match the capacity with 25-30% lower operating costs. The 757 was heavy and overpowered.

@neilpickup237 Год назад

People will always compare the A321 and the 757, and point out the A321s shortcomings. What many fail to accept, and some even realise, but highlighted in this video, is that the A321 can, and often does successfully replace the 757 on the routes the 757 is operated. If you don't need the performance or range of the 757, the A321 can accommodate a similar number of passengers to the 757-200. Agreed, no single aisle comes close to the 757-300 in capacity, but judging by the lack of sales, the airlines simply didn't want it. Not only that, but the 757 production run overlapped the A321's by more than a decade, yet failed to obtain enough orders to maintain production. Around 6 times as many A321s have been delivered than 757s, with an order book of many thousands and rising. Yes the great 757 may win in a limited number of areas, and deserves credit for the routes it opened up, but the A321 with its wider cabin and seats has been far more successful.

Airbus are cheaper but parts cost more , that’s a known fact on the industry.

@neilpickup237 Год назад

Parts may be cheaper, but as any accountant knows, for a comparison to be valid, the time taken to replace them MUST be taken into account along with the service life of that component. It is possible that a lighter component may contribute enough during its life on the aircraft to significantly contribute to, or even cover its additional cost through fuel savings - although these are more volatile and difficult to predict. I do not know whether the result will favour Airbus or Boeing, but you must use a valid comparison. As for the indisputable additional performance of the 757, this is not usually required, and comes at an operating cost when it is not. Quite simply, for the majority of airlines, those advantages are not required, so all they will see are the operational advantages of the A321. Not to forget that the A321 and 757 production runs overlapped by around a decade, yet the A321 has been, and continues to be successful, while the 757 couldn't even get enough orders for its production to continue.
