she had given Michael M. Sears a copy of Airbus's rival bid for an $18 billion Air Force contract for one hundred new tankers. Boeing used the information to outbid Airbus, winning the contract.
Answer The USAF just announced that EADs and Rockwell have won the contract to build an Airbus Tanker. They beat out Boeing's design for the largest Air Force contract award.
well i like Boeing better but airbus has more tecnology on it new aircraft, so its also a good aircraft but Boeing has been around alot longer and knows the airline buisness more and better. but when airbus came out with the a380 Boeing designed the 787 which just came out, so its whatever you chose but Boeing is the best.
The Boeing 747 is a plane used for crossing oceans. It is a double decked plane though not as big as the new Airbus A 380.
Boeing and Linear have worked with the US Air Force on many of their most secret projects. Area 51 is a nickname for Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, a restricted government area for testing new and secret aircraft for the US military. Boeing is instrumental in providing drone technology for the government and Linear has government contracts that support technologies used by the government.
It would depend entirely on the Airline you are using. However, nearly all of them will use one of five types, so I will list them for you: Airbus A330 Airbus A340 Boeing 747 Boeing 767 Boeing 777 These are all widebody aircraft; there IS a British Airways service that uses a small aircraft (Airbus A318) from London City, for business class only with about 35 seats. Charter airlines might use older aircraft, but apart from the chance of an Airbus A300 or Boeing 757 substituting for a broken-down plane, they will also be from the five main types above.
Aluminum for most jet commericial planes. New planes like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 are made of composite materials.
There will not be a "Boeing A380" A380 is a model number for an aircraft produced by Airbus. Airbus planes are numbered A300, A310, A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340. A350 (Not yet produced), A380. Boeing numbers its planes with a B folloed by 7X7 So Boeings planes are 707, 717, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, 787 (In flight testing). Boeing is producing a new Boeing 747 to compete against the A380 so in some ways you could call it a Boeing A380. The aircraft is the 747-8i and when it is released it will be the longest passenger jet on the market A380 will still be the largest.
As of April 2010, the largest Air New Zealand aircraft is the Boeing 747-400.
There are several proposed aircraft of Airbus * One is the A350 designed to compete with the Boeing 777 and the new 787. It is scheduled to enter into service in 2013. * Another aircraft is the A400M which is a four turboprop plane for military use. It will replace the Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules and the Transall C-160. * Also, there will be an Airbus NSR (New Short Range) that will replace the A320. That's about it.
There has not been (as of Sep-2012) an accident involving an A380 and a B747. In June 2011, an Air France A380 clipped the tail of a Comair Bombardier CRJ-700 regional jet on the ground at New York's JFK airport. There were no reported injuries on either aircraft.
Royal New Zealand Air Force Museum was created in 1987.
