Boeing 737 MAX Gets New Orders

Image
Boeing easily beat rival Airbus in orders for new planes last month, but Chicago-based Boeing trailed its European rival in delivering planes to airline customers. Boeing said that it took orders for 31 planes in July while 17 others were canceled, resulting in a net gain of 14. That compared with two orders for Airbus. It was Boeing’s sixth straight month of positive net orders after seeing cancellations exceed orders for most of 2020. Boeing has reported 270 net orders so far in 2021. Brazil’s Gol ordered nine 737 Max jets last month and Dallas-based Southwest Airlines ordered six. Boeing delivered 28 planes in July, including nine 737 Max jets sent to Irish airline Ryanair. That fell short of Airbus, which delivered 47 planes last month. For the year, Boeing has delivered 184 planes, more than all of 2020. This despite the halt in shipping its 787 jet because of production flaws in the fuselage and nose. Last month, the company said it will cut production of 787s. Deliveries are cri

The new Airbus have the longest fuselage in the Airbus A350 XWB jetliner family. It is measuring nearly 74 metres from nose to tail giving it more storage and space. The new A350-1000 also offer a maximum range of 7,950 nautical miles and is designed for "high efficiency, maximum reliability and optimised performance" but is still able to offer the passengers the best-in-class comfort with its “Airspace by Airbus” cabin.

In a typical three-class configuration, featuring Airbus’ 18-inch-wide economy class seats for modern comfort, the A350-1000 seats a total of 366 passengers. Combined with a range of 7,950 nautical miles, this represents a significant revenue-generating advantage for operators. The aircraft also can be configured for a higher-density layout to accommodate up to 440 passengers.

As a member of the A350 XWB Family, the A350-1000 is helping found the Airspace by Airbus cabin concept, which creates the perfect space for both airlines and their passengers. Airbus is committed to delivering superior performance and passenger experience, and its Airspace by Airbus philosophy delivers a next-generation cabin concept inspired by four key attributes: comfort, service, ambience and design.

Increased efficiency

Powering the A350-1000 will be higher-thrust Trent XWB engines from the manufacturer Rolls-Royce, this will allow the large A350 XWB to attain even greater levels of efficiency.

The Trent XWB engines will provide additional payload capability and range. On take-off the twin Rolls-Royce engines produce 97,000 lbs. of thrust making them the most powerful engines ever developed for an Airbus aircraft. With these two specially-tailored Trent XWB engines Airbus is hoping the A350-1000 will be capable of supporting the development of long-haul routes for emerging markets such as Shanghai-Boston or Paris-Santiago.

As well as the more traditional flight segments such as Manchester-Los Angeles or Dubai-Melbourneall. The efficiency of the Trent XWB engines will allow Airbus to burn 25 percent less fuel than its nearest competitor. The A350-1000 sells for $356 million at list prices, and it is designed to compete with Boeing's 777-300ER. That is currently the most successful version of the US planemaker's popular Boeing 777 family.

Airbus hopes it will help it reach 50 per cent of wide-body aircraft deliveries, up from 35 per cent in 2015. But critics say the aircraft failed to deliver the knockout blow to the older 777 it had hoped, despite an upgrade in engine design.

Airbus has sold 195 new-generation A350-1000s out of 810 total A350 orders, compared with 809 sales of the 777-300ER.
