____________________________________________________________
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...

    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.

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. ✈✈✈✈✈

    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.

    Having got the opportunity to be up close and personal with most Airbus jets, I have to say the A350-1000 is the best and my personal favourite. I used to sleep on this jet, thinking the passenger experience can’t possibly rival the A380. But with the Airspace cabin and the recent STEP 7 upgrades, the cabin is definitely comparable. Plus the A350’s wings are just gorgeous.

The A380 is the reason I got into aviation, because I saw it in a newspaper one day and though: "Woah, there is a plane with a full lenght upperdeck? I thought only the 747 had an upperdeck!" Not only that but the A380 is such an engineering marvel, and so stunning! (Expecially in your thumbnails😊) I just love the A380, it's been my dream since I was little to fly on it, so maybe one day.

    Our fave Airbus is the A380. We've flown LH from LHR with BA, Qatar and Singapore Airlines and the comfort and room is top notch. SH it's the 320Neo for similar reasons. My wife prefers to reschedule or re-route if it's a 737 Max. She's not yet one of those people who espouse "I'm not going if it's Boeing" fortunately. Interesting fact for you.. LHR T5 has 25 miles of baggage tunnels underneath T5A, B and C plus the T3 IB link tunnel to the centre of the airport.

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.

    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.

    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 ❤.

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😁.

I have not flown an A350 yet, not by choice just hasn't come up in my travels as an option. A330 however is flown by my local carrier and the 2x4x2 economy seats are fantastic layout for solo flyer or if you're flying with someone else you know. My airline also has a better PE experience too with the addition of the leg extender that folds out giving it a much more comfortable experience. Other aircraft types from same airline don't offer this feature in PE, it's unique to A330 for them. Makes flying long distance easier as you tend to get a better sleep even when sleeping upright. My local airline doesn't fly the A350, nor does it plan to so I will have to rely on partner airlines to have the opportunity to fly and would do so rocking a CobyExplanes A350 tshirt !
