In 1974, Boeing vice president Jim Austin described the Airbus A300 as “a typical government airplane” of which “they’ll build a dozen or so and then go out of business.” He wasn't alone in his criticism. And he was almost right.
Airbus began a decade earlier as an ambitious effort to stop the Americans from completely taking over the global aviation industry. Boeing and McDonnell Douglas together were building over 80% of the world’s jetliners. And soon, they would be joined by Lockheed. All three manufacturers were introducing new state-of-the-art wide-body airliners that would revolutionize air travel in the 1970s by offering increased comfort and efficiency. Europe’s aircraft build stood little chance at competing. Unless they worked together.
By the mid-1960s plans were underway to build a truly European airliner. One that would involve the continent's leading manufacturers. It wasn't the first attempt at European cooperation (the French and British had already joined efforts to build Concorde), but nothing on this scale had ever attempted. The Europeans would build a new kind of airliner, a purpose-build, short to medium range ‘people mover’, which was increasingly being described as an ‘air bus’. The new plane would be highly optimized for efficiency by using the latest technologies and state of the art materials. It would feature just two turbofan engines, when the soon to be introduced American wide-bodies would have three or four. It meant Europe’s jet would offer increased fuel economy and lower maintenance. It would be called the A300.
France, Britain, West Germany, the Netherlands and Spain would each manufacturer portions of the plane for final assembly in Toulouse France. The logistics alone were a spectacular feat. But getting the new Airbus built would actually prove to be the easy part. Convincing the world to take a chance on a completely unproven manufacturer offering an unconventional twin-engine wide-body was another matter altogether. And to make matters worse, the new Airbus A300 debuted in the early 1970s, just in time for a global recession and oil crisis which put a near halt to airplane purchases by airlines.
But the A300 eventually caught on, thanks to perseverance and crafty deal-making by Airbus. By the end of the 1970’s the global economy had recovered, but fuel prices had not. The highly efficient twin-engine wide-body found its place in the market. But for Airbus, the A300 was just the beginning. With multinational partnerships in place and a sophisticated supply chain, the groundwork was set for the company’s truly meteoric rise.

The thing was, the American aviation community was kind of correct. They had seen Concorde and many other government run aviation projects go out the window really quickly. Some more examples of course include the 2707, and several aircraft by the Brabazon Committee. Airbus was just another one of these technologically advanced but not well enough supported aircraft. Not to mention that at this point you still had every manufacturer being separate and all the politics that includes. It was risky of course. It just so happened that the aircraft was well designed and the political issues of the day lead to it being a winner and selling a lot. This is one of those "hindsight is 20/20" sort of moments.

[@katout75]

Frank Kolk (Chief Engineer and later CEO) of American Airlines was extremely influential in defining the requirements for the A300. He spent entire day (they worked past midnight) with Béteille and his team defining the wide body twin he thought was the idea long haul ~250 passenger airliners with standard cargo containers in the lower fuselage. Kolk really didn't want the 747/DC-10/L1011 for operating cost, but was forced into it by the late 60's ETOPS rules. In the end what Kolk wanted is what is defining long haul commercial air travel today the 767/777/787/A300/A330/A350 do today. Kolk had amazing vision in the mid/late sixties.

Progressively more reliable engines and better aircraft performance altogether caused those regulations to become less restrictive, paving the way for twin engine jets like the B767, B777 and A330 to replace the more thirsty trijets such as the DC-10 and MD-11 on the intercontinental routes.

A300 was actually the son of Concorde.

It was the first twin engine widebody and the first to be certified as ETOPS ready. Later versions were offered with carbon brakes, a Concorde innovation. It possessed a big commonality with McDonell Douglas DC 10s namely using the same GE CF6-50 engines, same environmental control system by Garrett and the same Auxiliary Power Unit Garrett TSCP-700. And of course it has better fuel consumption, 2 engine vs 3 engines

@@hch1414 The phrase "none had ever built a large airliner" was particularly nonsensical, as the long-serving VC-10 was larger and longer-range than the first Airbus. It was in service until the late 90's, so clearly a viable commercial aircraft. A larger Comet 5 was also in development in the 50's, but was superseded by the successful HS Trident and various 'large' prototypes of other types had also been built. The claim and implication by Mustard are clear: and both are erroneous as any brief research into 50's/60's British airliners will make obvious.

I work at FedEx Express. We have mixed feelings regarding the Airbus A300 freighter. Most of us that offload cargo planes prefer the 767 due to the simplicity and less burdensome to work on. Airbus has a lot of odd and annoying quirks such as: 1) The tall landing gear requires you to use a ladder to open the lower deck doors. The 767 is low enough to the ground you can reach up and flip a switch. 2) Lower deck floor controls are not very user friendly compared to the 767 3) The aft section on the upper deck has a positive slope, which is hazardous pushing a cargo container that weighs 2 tons uphill. 4) Problematic rainwater drainage when working with the main cargo door open. The plane is sensitive to water damage.

@@minumilati151 Pretty much all of Airbus’s designs are higher off the ground than Boeing’s competitors, it seems to be part of their design language - working as an aircraft refueler I learned that you need an 8ft ladder to reach the fuel cap on A320 family aircraft, while the job can be done with just a 6ft ladder on a 737NG. Additionally, FedEx still operates around 70 A300F’s and UPS operates around 50. They aren’t decommissioned in the freighter market by any means.

[@dbclass4075]

@@rumeru905 Part of the higher height reason is Airbus being relatively new; in the era of high-bypass turbofans, which are large. Hence, the need to ensure enough space to fit the engines. 737 was created in the era of low-bypass turbofans, which are quite small. Also, the airport environment is very different between the two eras. 737s have to deal with airports with limited equipment, hence its low height to ensure minimal equipment needed to handle luggage. A320s are in more modern era where airports are better equipped.

The "Queen of the Skies" has been the standard for international travel for over half a century.

[@turricanedtc3764]

@@skunkbucket9408 - I've long suspected that Airbus considered the A380 project to be a calculated risk in financial terms, it was more about proving to the global market that they could pull off a project of that size and technological complexity as well as the US (and Boeing's 747 in particular). The B747 largely owes its success and longevity to being the first widebody to market, followed by the DC-10 and L-1011 tri-jet widebodies essentially competing each other out of the market by the late 1970s. Whatever anyone may think of Airbus, you can't deny their business savvy - while the A380 was the flagship product, they already had big competitive advantages in the A320neo project in their back pocket, and when the original (rather pedestrian) A350 proposal wasn't to their customers' liking, they scrapped the original proposal and decided on a clean-sheet design capable of going toe-to-toe with the B777 and B787 - though it's designed to fit in the market space between the two Boeing types.

[@jacobnathanielzpayag3885]

I just want to share this story. During the late 1970's and early 1980's, Philippine Airlines could not get a slot at London Heathrow. Back then, the Airline was run by the government and in order to grab a slot, former president F. E. Marcos signed a deal to buy 2 Concordes to fly the route between Manila to London. This was during the time when most Airlines withdrew their Concorde orders. Then the thing with Airbus and Eastern happened and soon the president offered the British gov. a deal that they will buy 2 A300's for use on the route. Soon, the A300 fleet grew to complement the DC-10's on other European and Asian routes while the 747 was used on American routes. Today, the Manila - London flight is operated once every Tuesday-Sunday by either a 777-300 or A350-900. Also, PAL operates mostly Airbus aircraft because it can secure better deals with Airbus (the airline also had several disputes with Boeing during 1997).
