How do you identify Airbus and Boeing from outside?
You can identify them by here wingtips and engines. The Airbus A330 and A340 have the same kind of wing tip and are the only two planes with that kind of wingtip. You can distinguish the A330 from the A340 because the A340 has four engines (2 on each wing) while the A330 has only 2 engines. The Airbus A380, A320, A310 (out of production), and the A310 (also out of production) have the same kind of wingtip and are the only planes with that kind of wingtip. The Airbus A320neo with sharklets have similar wingtips to the 737 except the sharklets are taller. The A350XWB have a very different kind of wingtips which are only found on the A350. The 737 has a blended wingtip and is the only plane with wing mounted engines that have the (except for the A320 with sharklets). The 707,717,757,767, and 777 have no wingtips. The 717 has the horizontal stabilizer on its tail. The difference between the 757,767, and 777 are the sizes. Some 737s and 747s don't have wingtips. You can tell the 747 because it has a second floor all the way in the front and not the back
Where is stall warning vane located in Airbus 330?
Airbus aircraft do not use stall vanes for stall warning. Airbus use a sophisticated system of stall prevention instead, with the angle of attack and slat settings are primary parameters in the fly-by-wire computer system.
The angle of attack is determined by two electrically heated alpha probes on either side of the forward fuselage.
As the aircraft approaches a stall condition, (in normal law) the flight computers take control and return controls to a non-stall position.
What is the size of the tire of airbus?
According to Bridgestone, who manufacture tyres for the Airbus A380, the main gear tyres are 1400x530R23 and the auxiliary tyres are 1270x455R22
This means that the main tyres are 1.4m high and 53 cm wide (approx 55 x 21 inches).
What is cruising speed of an airbus 320 at 30000 feet above sea level?
The cruising speed of an Airbus A320 at 36,000 feet is 511 mph.
What is bigger airbus or Boeing?
Airbus currently makes the largest passenger airplane, the A380, with boeing making the second biggest, the 747.
<><>><><>
The Boeing 777 has a larger Max takeoff weight, longer aircraft, but smaller passenger capacity.
What is the cargo capacity of the airbus A320?
The cargo hold on an Airbus A320-200 has a capacity of 37.4m3 Which is enough for seven standard LD3 cargo containers.
The capacity, however, is limited to the maximum takeoff weight, which will depend greatly on the runway and route. In practice, a typical medium-haul route with 150 passengers could be carrying 3 tons of baggage and a further 2 tons of cargo.
An Airbus A380 in standard configuration will set you back around US$390 (approx. €300 million or £252 million).
Towing and taxiing of Airbus 330?
The Airbus A330 can be towed, using an tractor attached to the nose gear. The maximum turning circle is 65 degrees from centre and there is a warning sign on the nose gear door reading 'No Tow' which is visible only when this limit is exceeded, to prevent any damage to the nose gear.
Once clear of the gate, like all other aircraft, the plane can taxi to the runway using it's own engines.
How many seats are in an Airbus?
It depends what Airbus you are thinking of and in some examples the class configuration:
A300 - 260 passengers in a typical 2 class configuration.
A319 - about 140 passengers in a 1 class configuration.
A320 - anything between 165-180 passengers in a 1 class configuration.
A321 - just over 200 passengers in a 1 class configuration.
A330-200 - 293 passengers in 2 classes/ 251 in 3 classes.
A330-300 - 335 passengers in a 2 class configuration/ 295 in a 3 class configuration.
A340-300 - 335 passengers in a 2 class configuration/ 295 in a 3 class configuration.
A340-600 - 380 passengers in a 3 class configuration, no figures available for a 2 class configuration on this aircraft.
A380 - 525 in a typical 3 class configuration, there has recently been an order for an all economy class A380 which will seat over 850 passengers!
