The Battle Of The Big Planes: Why Airbus & Boeing Won The Race

When it comes to aircraft choices, Airbus and Boeing dominate the market and have done so for decades. How did this duopoly come to be, and how have Boeing and Airbus taken on the competition over the past years?
Let’s look at the histories of the two companies and the other planemakers they have outlasted to achieve their positions...

It's a DC9! Every day! 717 is something Boeing dreamed up to claim it as theirs

[@JavanHamiltonTV]

@@michaelosgood9876 That’s not true. McDonnell-Douglas was developing the MD-95 as an upgrade to their DC-9-30 frame. Boeing bought the company during that time (to Boeing’s own detriment), and while a 707 variant already had the “717” designator within the company, Boeing rebadged the MD-95 as the 717 to brand it with their existing aircraft. That’s why the 717 is still registered as the MD-95 to this day. It’s similar to how the A220 got its name.

Yeah, if the Comet had not had that metal fatigue issue, de Havilland would have had a fair chance of becoming the defining manufacturer of the early jet age, instead of Boeing taking the lead.

[@kenoliver8913]

Na, the 707 was a superior design in every way. Cheaper to build, far easier to maintain, longer range, more capacity. The only thing the Comet had going for it was a small lead in speed and more advanced engines, but it was not long before Pratt & Whitney caught up with Rolls Royce.

[@JohnnieHougaardNielsen]

You ignored the huge lead the Comet had over the 707, first flight 1949 vs 1957. With Boeing being much later and able to learn from the experiences with the Comet, it would've been a major letdown if the 707 only managed to be a small improvement. If de Havilland had seen the Comet being a success, they'd have gone on to improve on the design, instead of a long painful investigation and destroyed reputation.

[@boeinkarlee5743]

There is a critical issue about the Chinese C919. They are using the CFM LEAP as its engines, which is from the US. However, due to current Sino-American relationship. The US government may ban its export anytime. Then the new aircraft can be have no engines anytime.

[@matsv201]

The reason why Boeing went winning until recently is pretty simple. They was first out with the type of aircraft that become the future every single time... well.. almost. First "real" jet airliner the comet really a quite decent attempt at a first airliner. But it had several drawbacks. Short range, small capacity, high maintenance, and some safety issues. Boeing took note. Moved the engine into pods, made a traditional wet wing and made a really sturdy fuselage. One of the reason Boeing even could do that was that they had access to higher power engine due to military development. While comet have a pitifull 22kN 707 had 60kN engines. Of cause, yes, by the time the 707 was introduced the Comet was up to 44kN engines. Of cause, DC8 was right on the heals with a similar and also very good aircraft. After 1958 there was quite a few 4 engines podded narrow body 6 wide aircraft around. The next very important airplane was the under wing 2 engines narrow body aircraft. Was Boeing first with a Regional/short range airliner? No but all the other had doe it with a rear mounted engine, Boeing did it with a under wing. that would prove to be important later. 707 was not the first 2 crew major airliner, but very early. Why is under wing engines important, because fuel economy. Of cause, in 1960 this was not a high priority, but it very much become later. Also 737 is still 6 wide, that was very rare in this category. Also prove to be important later. Next type or aircraft that would prove to be important is the 4 engine long range wide-bodies. Boeing, Lockheed and Douglas all had one each on there drawing board. But Lockheed won the C5 project and pushed a head with there L1011 3 engine, and Douglas did also go with the 3 engine concept despite loosing the bid. Boeing that was very sure that they would win never made a backup plane. So they simply modified there heavy lifter bid to a civilian airliner and push forward very quickly. (they already build part prior to the bid being finished). Hence there aircraft was finished first. So why did the 747 win. Yes it was first, but that was not the only reason. Range, and also economy. And the two things is really just different side of the same coin. There is two reason 747 outrange the other two. Scale of economy, and, not having a tail engine. Its not Airbus come with there first slam dunk. The A300. First wide body two engine aircraft. This was right on the heels of the 747... And around the same time the 737 Classic upgrade was made. Why are all those aircraft coming at the same time. Well high bypass engines, that why. This happened at the exact same time as the oil-crissis stared. Fuel economy was really just useful for range prior, jet fuel being very very cheap. To almost triple in price, and 4 years later again triple in price. DC10 did fairly well at first, but suffered both due to the oil-crisis and some very unfortunate accidents with full losses due to a design flaw. Also with even shorter range did have even greater problem to sell. Left standing was the suprice success A300. While DC10 did outsell the A300 during the 70s, during the 80s it very much switched side. What happened. Well a slight engine upgrade, a but more fuel, and the range was drastically increased. Now A300, or even more so A310 outraged the DC10, Yes, it was still a smaller airliner, but way more economical. On top of that, Airbus being very fast with a two man cockpit. Not only decreasing nr of pilots, but also increasing capacity. The last very important aircraft was the 777. While about the size of the DC10 and L1011 (slightly larger, but not importantly so). What was the 777 true revolution was the very long range with only two engines. This made every earlier 3 or 4 engines aircraft obsolete for all but the very highest demand routes. yes, that would include the 747. In the future there might be one more important aircraft. The A320. Because it fixed that what 737 did wrong.... or rather, got outdated on. The low to ground airframe.

It's high time that we create something different than a tube with wings.

Russian civilian aircraft manufacturing has a storied history reaching back decades. They had some really successful aircrafts too. Why was nothing mentioned about this?

[@williammcgraw9779]

Because the aircraft were unsafe and nobody bought them !

[@natf6747]

Excluding the collapse of the CCP I would say China is most likely to threaten the market. The reason I say this is not because they have a better plane or anything it’s simply location and ownership. 1) China basically owns the Chinese aircraft manufacturer. 2) China basically owns all major Chinese airlines. 3) it is forecasted that by 2028 China will be the worlds largest aviation market. Putting all this together I would assume that China, excluding an exceptionally poor product, would stay in house when it comes to aircraft and thus lead to a major market being taken over by itself. This will be a major loss for both Boeing and Airbus and in itself lead to a large portion of the market being taken up by Chinese aircraft. Not to mention I would assume it would be another product in their belt and road initiative. I can see many developing countries, who are accepting Chinese help with infrastructure needs, well also turn to China to advance their aviation needs. China will probably offer rates that Boeing and airbus cannot meet but will then manipulate those rates to trap the purchasing company.

[@Peizxcv]

Most countries pick in house products especially aircrafts unless the foreign option is considerably better; it is not a Chinese only trait. Think how long it took Airbus to get American airlines to finally order Airbus even though A300, A320, and A330 are way better than Boeing's competition in the same class

[@FSHVTAGMMY]

China doesn't own all of the airlines, Hainan airlines is privately owned

[@alainmare8081]

You know for sure that Chinese are master to copy good foreign products. It will probably be the same for planes. You purchase Boeing or Airbus products you dismantles them copy all the parts and put a new name on it. Then your engineers are able to improve the design and produce a better product. As an example: railroad. They bought Japanese and French high speed trains and now they are running the best railroad network of the world. What’s the solution ? Probably, keeping RD in major sectors to still have advance on competitors.

[@Peizxcv]

@@alainmare8081 Everyone copies. Why do you think American spent so much resources stealing German and Soviet technology during WW2/Cold War and then grab as many scientists as possible after the war?

[@abandonedchannel281]

The Chinese are working it out, I think they should become somewhat successful, and they should work on electric and alternative fueled aircraft, in the future they can get a massive chunk of the aviation sector if they do.

Nah. Airbus and Boeing started producing commercial aircraft earlier and they have a lot of planes. Comac and Irkut only have 1 commercial aircraft each. The C929 will probably have majority of orders from Chinese airlines I guess.

It’s a copy of A350 and 787 without the efficiency (thus lower range) nor support network offered

[@grahambaker6664]

Both COMAC and United Aircraft Corporation (the consolidated Russian aircraft manufacturers) will struggle to get beyond their own borders due to the lack of support infrastructure and sanctions. Boeing should consider acquiring Antonov to get the AN158 as a 717 replacement to take on the A220-100 and to get the AN178 as a C27J competitor for its military division. Antonov could be used to manufacture a C17 NEO and to do freighter conversion work. The Antonov designs are good but lack ongoing support that Boeing could provide.

[@abandonedchannel281]

L-1011 came too late, they ended up having to bribe airlines to buy the type even those it’s superior then the DC-10. The Russians did try to but the L-1011 at one point and nearly got 100 built by Lockheed and many more via a licensing contract but the govemrnet refused to let Lockheed sell the type to them. One thing that helped Lockheed was the Rolls Royce engines did ensure some Commonwealth Customers like Air Canada, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and for a brief while Air Jamaica, Qantas considered it but decided to go for the 747SP due to take off performance being superior and longer range. The Rolls Royce engines were however a curse, because they’re development was delayed too long and Rolls Royce’s under delivered with the engines

It's the MS21, not the MC21. The Russian "C" is like our "S." Example: "CCCP" in Russian means "SSSR" in the Latin alphabet. (the "P" is like the Greek letter "rho" which is an "R" in the Latin alphabet)

Boeing Stratocruiser, a big four prop piston plane was neat, double decker even! Then the Douglas big four prop piston planes up thru the DC 7 ruled until the jet age. The Lockheed Four prop piston Connie was one of the best of its type, super sleek design, Lockheed made the four turbo prop Electra. Douglas and Boeing didnt sell a four turbo prop.

[@kenoliver8913]

Back in the day they used to say "The ideal jetliner would be designed by Lockheed, manufactured by Boeing and marketed by McDonnell Douglas", each being the aspect those companies were believed to excel in.

[@eamonryan2198]

The Stratocruiser was a complete flop. The three bank radials were very prone to overheating and were unreliable in other ways. The design of the aircraft, a variation of the B29 bomber was wrong. It was the 707 that made Boeing as a civilian aircraft builder. Timing was important, it was first in the field.

[@kenoliver8913]

@@eamonryan2198 That's all true, though remember the Stratocruiser used the same engines as the very successful competition (the Constellation). Huge piston aero engines always have cooling problems; the B29 and B36 were similarly prone to engine fire from the same cause. But the 707 was simply a better plane than other early jetliners, on a host of grounds. Whatever Boeing's failures with the Stratocruiser the 707 was undeniably a brilliant piece of design.

[@eamonryan2198]

@@kenoliver8913 A veteran of the 1950s airline business told me that in those days it would have been unusual for the piston engined transatlantic airliners to land at the refuelling hub at Shannon with all four engines running. Yes, the 707 was a brilliant design, as evidenced by most large passenger aircraft to this day having a broadly similar layout. Just like Alec Issigonis and the mini.
