Review of the Boeing VS Airbus Case Study Introduction In the market for large aircraft demand the emerging niche for very large aircraft (VLCT aircraft seating more than 400 passengers) saw only two competitors: Boeing and Airbus.

largest passenger plane in the world. When passenger areas are divided into three classes, the A380 can seat 550 passengers. When the entire plane is designated economy class, it can seat 853 people. There is 50% more cabin floor space than the Boeing 747 because the A380s upper deck goes the entire length of the fuselage (“Airbus a380 airfield,”2011). In 2010 there were already over 30 in use and more are expected in the near future (Young & Wells, 2011, p. 473). Due to the size and weight of the

This paper dives into the architecting and design of the Boeing 747, the world’s first jumbo jet. The key architects of this colossal system will be introduced along with the system requirements that led to the system design decisions of the 747. Major subsystems of the aircraft will be examined, along with the legacy and future of the system today. Heuristics applied throughout the architecting of the system as well as the numerous trade-off analyses performed will be explained as the paper progresses

techniques where the flight parameters are constantly changing. By June of 2013 the trainee pilot had accumulated over 9 hours of flight time as a Boeing 777 observer (NTSB, 2013, pg. 14). At the time of the accident the trainee pilot had only completed 33 hours of the required 60 flight time required by Korean air regulations for transitioning to Boeing 777 aircraft. The reports on the trainee pilot transition training are mixed. The first instructor pilot stated that the trainee made errors in common
