Peacenow Posted December 16, 2009 It's a beautiful plane. Well done America and to Boeing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nin-Yaaban Posted December 17, 2009 Looks nice, I hear it's few yrs behind schedule and isn't expected to enter service in couple more yrs. The Emirates would probably be the first on the block to fly one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ADNAAN Posted December 17, 2009 The A350 which is still in the manufacturing phase will be the natural competitor with the boeing dreamliner. Obviously Boeing will have a head start advantage on this one. The highlight of both aircrafts is the reduced consumption of fuel which is down to the high levels of composites used to make them much lighter than ever. Speaking to one of the managers at Airbus UK today I could sense his concern about the dreamliner launch. But he stressed that in the long term the A380 superjumbo is targeting a different market to that of the B787. On top of their rivalry both companies have to contend with delays, cancellation and possible compensation claims from airliners. Also, don't forget that Airbus is already working on a freighter version of the A380. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
