Exclusive: A Look Inside the A330neo Flight Test Aircraft

[@alejandropineda5557]

Didn’t know that the wing was completely redesign , love this airplane , Avianca used to have 332 now they are gone , replaced with 788 , I’m medium size !! Watching you from COLOMBIA !

[@marksellinger3736]

I loved the subtle swipe the gentleman from airbus took at point re: the MAX debacle at boeing and their just slapping on new engines and sending the plane to market...whereas Airbus was more thorough on their re-design.

[@isthatso5616]

Yesterday's technology from the 70's, trying to compete with today's....!!! 787 and AB's own A350 have left this relic in their wake.!!!

[@kaseyalbayati6403]

I just flew the a330neo from LAX to HND-Japan via Delta and loved every second of it. I think the ability to take a classic design and make it as efficient as possible is incredible. Huge props to the Airbus team! I didn’t know all airbus planes have the new mood lit cabins. I wonder if this applies to the a220 as well. Thanks for the awesome content! My shirt size is a large by the way

[@jeromyrichardson319]

love all the information in this video, the A330NEO is the future!

[@annsheridan12]

Flew one from Lisbon to Miami, the huge size of the engines was breathtaking.

[@byzelimium]

The 330 NEO has been in a constant state of improvement and tweaking and it really shows. From its engine and wing similarities of the A350, to the airspace cabin that features all across their modern products, Airbus has really outdone themselves. I work for an airline that flies the 339 and it is just such a beautiful aircraft and i love when they send it to my station once in a blue moon. Also love the frequency and quality of the videos! Keep it coming!!! Size: XL

Took the A330neo with Air Belgium from SeaTac to Frankfurt and back a few weeks ago. Smoothest ride I've ever been on. Fantastic plane.

Whenever I heard A330neo I just thought of new engines and wings didn't know that they actually improved the cabin software and vertical and horizontal stabilizer aswell as the weight of the Aircraft very nice plane My size well I'm 15 so I go with a size 16-17 or large size

[@w_junlinn]

with the A330 Family being my favourite family of aircraft, I can't emphasise enough how the aircraft looks sooo elegant. Learnt quite a new fair bit about the NEO from your video, didn't know that the empennage area was also redesigned with new composite materials as well as the centre wingbox too. Absolutely love the recent A330neo videos that u published recently given how there is a lack of quality videos about this family of aircraft :( as an avid fan of the A330neo, hope that I'll be able to win the sweatshirt!! (size XL) fingers crossed 🤞

[@derbagger22]

Still looking for my first flight on a 330neo. I've flown the A330ceo a number of times from BOS - HNL and back. I just really enjoy the plane and the 10-11 hours flies by!

[@tacocatgamingandmore635]

You are so lucky to be doing all of this! I love that the neo is with so many operators, I thought there was a handful. The up-close really inspired me to try and get on one, My only hope is TAP or Aer Lingus (Hope they order because the large a330 fleet) Btw size small. Thank you!

It’s nice to get an insight at everything that Airbus has done to improve it’s aircraft while maintaining the essence of the 330. Definitely learned that a lot can change on the inside without passengers noticing much. I’m a Size M Coby! Keep it up with the amazing videos!

loved learning about the trent 7000 engines. didn't know they were made specifically for the 330neo. rodrigo seemed like a very knowledgeable and technical person!

[@alexiseschke4550]

I didn't know that RR created the Trent 7000 exclusively for the A330Neo, and worked hand in hand with Airbus to make it an engine that not only was an upgrade from the previous generation, but also one that fit the objectives that Airbus had in mind. I also never really realized what technologies (especially in regards to the engines) the Trent 7000 took from the Trent XWB. Very cool video as always, excited to see what else comes from the Airbus visit :). (PS. Size M)

[@isthatso5616]

They didn't... It's nothing more than a Trent 1000 engine borrowed from the 787 with an archaic bleed air system ,in place of the electrical system on the dreamliner !!

[@alexiseschke4550]

@@isthatso5616 at moment 5:54 he mentions that the engine was specifically designed with the A330Neo in mind. Although you are right, it is in basis a Trent 1000, there are technologies that have been adapted from the Trent XWB, in addition to the engine being a 2 generation leap over the Trent 1000. It is still an improved engine, and it was still designed for A330Neo no matter who its predecessor was.

I was very surprised about the FADEC. I never realized the engine needs its own computer to move EVERYTHING inside it, and the FADEC is like the brains of the engine. I also didn't realize just how massive the wing is! Almost like the A350, that's huge! Size is XS

The flexibility of the Neo is quite impressive. Didn't know that they had such a good product.

[@Mango_B]

Fantastic video, Coby! I didn't know the A330neo had 21 operators! That's huge. I thought they had only about 5 or 6 operators. It's good to know that Delta has more on order, as I fly Delta 100% of the time. Keep the videos coming, and congratulations on taking the jump into this full time. FYI, I am a large size.

[@nikesuper150]

The a330neo is an aircraft thayt has been improved a lot. The engines are basically 2 generations newer than the Trent 700, the wings have been designed to make them larger at the same weight and new material were used. Inside the plane larger spaces and optimazation were the key facts that made the a330neo the perfect choices for many airlines, legacy and low-cost airlines. Size: L

[@perdidonoglobo]

I got to experience the A330Neo with TAP Portugal. It was a smooth, comfortable experience. The cabin layout (2-4-2) is ideal and I arrived at my destination without feeling any jet lag. On-board service was great as well. I look forward to flying them again. Size M

Really nice insight into the changes from the ceo to neo. I didn't know that the engine inlet is also a single composite piece like on the A350. Other than that I already knew all the points about the new wing, but thats because I'm working on it.

[@albomaa]

Since day 1 I have loved the looks of the A330neo, I really hope it gets a lot more sales. I didn’t know the wing was completely redesigned, I thought it was the same from the A330ceo with the new sharklets. It has really surprised me! My size is L

[@Jishy]

Loved this video, and the A330 itself. I can't wait to hopefully see more carriers acquire 330neos in the future. I didn't know how different the "empennage" section was compared to ceo, nor did I know that's what it was called, so that was really interesting to learn. My size is inconsistent from different brands but usually medium is good safe option for a middle ground.

50 to 1 compression ratio for the Trent 7000 makes it very special. I didn’t know it was designed specifically for the a330NEO. Very interesting video. Looking forward to more. Greetings from MCO. PS my shirt size is Large

[@bm3tz]

Hey Coby! That was a great video, and I learned a lot! The biggest thing for me was the massive engines. Not only are they efficient, but they are also pretty smart too. I did not know that they modified the Trent 7000 just for the 330NEO. Can't wait for the next one, and my shirt size is medium.

[@humpy75]

I had never been a great fan of the a330, but the a330neo, has changed my mind. It's larger engines, cabin space and feel, as well as the new design wings with the sharklet, make it a much more interesting aircraft. (XXL) ;)

[@airbus350800]

Thanks Coby , i learnt a lot about the A330 neo today , i hope to see more sales for the A330 neo in the future i do see sales in the likes of asian carriers . I also wonder if they would build a regional version or a MRTT , i don't think they would build a freighter version since many A330 ceo's are being converted.

[@technicbricklego]

Hi Coby, first of all thank you so much for these videos you keep publishing keep your awesomeness ! What I really did not know on the 330 neo was that it is after all a whole redesign... of course I was fooled by the neo branding and thought only the engine was new and that in itself is already nice. I also learned that the wing is new and that really was necessary as you said since the 330 ceo wing was designed for 2 different aircrafts. To finish this comment, I’m shirt size M. Keep up the good work, hi from France !

[@anuphassan7666]

Great new cabin on the a330neo and love the sharklets on this aircraft! I would like to get that extra large tee

[@Whiskey_BS]

For clarification, the “one piece inlet” really means the inner barrel of the inlet does not have seams. This allows for more, non-interrupted acoustic treatment i.e. better noise attenuation. The metallic inlet lip is made in one piece for smaller engines but unlikely to be one piece on the Trent 7000.

[@riskzol]

I love the shirt. As a pilot of 330 NEO its a must have. I hope you get it into production. Well presented video. Thanks much.

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Loved the video Coby! I learned that the neo bins and cabin are so much nicer feeling and larger and also that the Airspace Cabin has the same feel rather on an A321neo variant and A330neo or A350XWB! So awesome! Also my shirt size is M I’ve never flown a neo except for the A320neo but hopefully soon!

[@mach1_v1]

Awesome content!!! I didn't realize just how much they implemented from the previous but newer iterations of the Trent engines such as the compressor and how that helps with improving efficiency in the NEO. Love it. Shirt size is Large!

[@evo3s75]

I knew pretty much nothing about the Neo other than the different wings and engine's so it was really interesting to watch, I also didn't know that they actually used steel on the Ceo and now titanium on the Neo for the rear of the engine. I also love the interior design and how you can pick from 16 million+ colours, and the design itself looks pretty modern to me. Hope I get to fly on it some day Hoodie size: (EU) S

[@xiiivaniix]

I learned that the NEO has a wingspan almost the size of the 350! And I did not know the wings on the 340 were the same! That’s awesome! I am a size Small ! Thank you!

[@viktor.egelund]

In short; what is the main difference between the smallest A350 and the most highly specced A330neo?

[@viktor.egelund]

While waiting for a human answer, I asked AI: The A350 and A330neo are both wide-body, twin-engine jets designed for long-haul flights. While they share some similarities, there are some significant differences between the two models. • Design and Capacity: The A350 was designed as a more modern aircraft, with a sleeker fuselage, larger wingspan, and more efficient engines than the A330neo. The A350's composite construction makes it lighter and more fuel-efficient than the A330neo. The A350 can accommodate up to 440 passengers in a high-density layout, while the A330neo can seat up to 460 passengers in a similar configuration. The A330neo has a longer fuselage, allowing for more passenger seating and cargo capacity. However, the A350's larger wingspan and more efficient engines allow it to fly longer distances and more efficiently than the A330neo. • Range: The A350 has a greater range than the A330neo, with a maximum range of 15,000 km (8,100 nmi) compared to the A330neo's range of 13,334 km (7,200 nmi). This means that the A350 can fly further without refueling, making it more suitable for long-haul routes. • Fuel Efficiency: The A350 is more fuel-efficient than the A330neo due to its advanced aerodynamics and lightweight materials. The A350's fuel burn is approximately 25% lower than the A330neo, which translates to lower operating costs for airlines. The A350's Rolls-Royce Trent XWB or General Electric GEnx-1A engines are more fuel-efficient and produce less noise and emissions than the Trent 7000 engines used on the A330neo. • Engines: The A350's engines, the Trent XWB and GEnx-1A, are more fuel-efficient and produce less noise and emissions than the Trent 7000 engines used on the A330neo. The Trent XWB and GEnx-1A engines also feature a higher thrust output, which allows the A350 to take off and climb more quickly than the A330neo. The A330neo's Trent 7000 engines, however, are more powerful than the engines used on the previous generation A330, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and lower noise levels. • Cockpit: Both the A350 and A330neo have modern glass cockpits with advanced avionics and fly-by-wire systems. However, the A350's cockpit is more advanced and features larger displays and more advanced systems, such as a predictive maintenance system that can detect potential problems before they occur. The A350's cockpit also has a higher degree of automation, reducing the workload on pilots and allowing them to focus on other tasks. • Price: The A330neo is generally cheaper than the A350, with a list price of around $296.4 million compared to the A350's list price of around $366.5 million. However, the actual price can vary depending on the airline's negotiation with the manufacturer and other factors. While the A350 is more expensive, it offers better fuel efficiency, range, and advanced cockpit features, making it a more attractive option for some airlines. In summary, both the A350 and A330neo are advanced and capable aircraft designed for long-haul flights. While the A330neo is cheaper, the A350 offers better fuel efficiency, range, and a more advanced cockpit. Ultimately, the choice between the two aircraft will depend on the specific needs and budget of the airline.

[@ronparrish6666]

The 350 is wider and can seat more

[@rajeshganesan1968]

First of all, Airbus A330 Neo is necessary to come into the Market because to compete with Boeing 777X, this is airplane that has the Similar Capacity to give a Tuff Competition. As learned from this video, that it has Very new Engine Option, lavish Interior Cabins, the new Equipment, new systems, new Avionics and the new composite materials used along for the Aluminium built in materials are great, such that it reduces Weight Exorbitantly, so better fuel Efficiency and less Greenhouse Gases to say. :) (BTW my Size 2-XL).

Love their attempt to spin the Trent 7000 as a completely different engine when it is literally listed as a variant of the Trent 1000 on the TCDS. During the last few month, I have learned that customers of the A330NEO is underwhelmed by the performance of its engine and also that the structural integrity of a few dozen short body A330 CEOs and NEOs are at risk of “catastrophic failure” because Airbus failed to completely perform certain manufacturing procedure.
