730 Airbus planes sold at LeBourget vs only 114 planes.

Airbus was able to sell already 730 planes while boing has only gathered 114 orders. When looking at the numbers one could think that Airbus has outpaced Boeing, but I think this is only part of the picture.

600 of the 730 planes are A320 neo, which is not a new plane but the existing one with different engines. However Boeing is not able to equip its 737 with different engines, but they are working on a totally new plane until 2020. Therefore they should soon also be able to present their work and keep up again with Airbus. We will see.
