a350 maiden flight
 
vary nice first flight looks like airbus makes plane as good as boeing and much less noisy this plane is too expensive for us airlines prefer to keep old planes running into the ground....airbus seem to be more advanced in airplane building with a380 I was on

Let's take that point by point:
"much less noisy" - that's up to the engine makers - and the major three all make engines for both of the major manufacturers.
"airbus seem to be more advanced in airplane building with a380 I was on" how so? The A380 has wing crack problems that airbus is dealing with. This will only worsen as the planes age.

Boeing - good airplanes
Airbus - good airplanes

End of story. Please :rolleyes:

a350 joy stick vs 787 yoke steering wheel
 
i was surprised boeing still use yoke steering wheels and air bus uses joy stick......thought they would be on same type of operating controls....and the carbon fiber amount is different with both....also 787 is one whole piece as air bus is pieces bolted togather....both are super new designs and hope can perfect a new airplane to keep people 95 percent safe....really surprised both are not more the same in this day an age

Keep in mind that on a 4 holer you need to get enough thrust for takeoff/climb from 3 engines, so each engine only needs to provide 1/3 of the required thrust. On a twin you need to be able to takeoff and climb with only one engine, so the thrust requirement per engine is quite high. The 787-9 has slightly higher thrust engines than the A380, at only a small fraction of the weight (and both are WAY less than the 777). Lower thrust engines, all else being equal, means a quieter ride. The A340 was known for being exceptionally quiet due to having engines only slightly more powerful than a 737.

Don't understand the comment about US airlines not buying new airplanes because Airbus is too expensive.

95% safe? :confused: There is approximately 117 deaths per 1 billion flights, making a flight about 99.9999883% "safe".

Not sure what the point of your ramblings are exactly..

I thought the 787 fuselage was assembled from multiple pieces as well.

i was just thinking of jet that burned at hethrow
 
there was some problem about to fix it as skin carbon....if you can unbolt last section and replace would be best.....some say can apply like a resign in layers....im not expert soo just thought to share....this site is cool as understand from others amount of thrust needed for take off;)

Just curious to what planet you are from? :confused:

stablemate77 Jul 23, 2013 8:35 pm

same as yours suppose
 
open your eyes would be nice....:rolleyes:

:confused::confused:

The 787 is not one piece of carbon fibre. It is very similar to the A350 design/construction with carbon fibre sections.

If you could read back what you've written before you post so that it makes sense that would help..

This awesome thread is awesome.

The reason Airbus is producing quieter aircraft is simply because EU laws are requiring them to do so to protect people who (foolishly choose to live near an airport) but then again we Europeans simply have less space at our disposal so we need to fix problems and noise polution is one factor being adressed in this form.
