Airbus A320

Manufacturer Overview

With more than 3,200 aircraft sold worldwide, the A320 family is the leader in the single-aisle jetliner marketplace. The A320 family comprises four aircraft that share the same cockpit, fly with the same operating procedures, and have the same cabin cross-section and systems.

The A320 Family responds to airlines’ needs for optimized cabin layouts, better baggage and cargo handling, maximum operational flexibility on short- and medium-haul routes and lower operating costs that only a new-generation aircraft can offer. Fly-by-wire technology pioneered in the A320 Family—and subsequently applied to the A330, A340 and A380— provide all the benefits of commonality across the Airbus product line. http://www.airbus.com/en/aircraftfamilies/a320

Airbus A330/340

Manufacturer Overview

The A330/A340 family concept is that one basic airframe is available in six different configurations, powered by two or four engines. The twin-engine A330 is optimized for highest revenue generation and the lowest operating costs from regional segments to extended range routes, while the four-engine A340 provides versatility on the most demanding long-range and ultra-long-range flights. http://www.airbus.com/en/aircraftfamilies/a330a340

Airbus A380

Manufacturer Overview

New to the Airbus family, the A380 is a long-term investment that everyone can get excited about. Introducing this next-generation jetliner is saving customers millions in operating costs annually while creating thousands of extra seats on long-haul routes. With the lowest cost per seat and the lowest emissions per passenger of any large aircraft, the A380 provides a competitive edge.More than 2.5 million passengers have already flown in its double-deck, wide-bodied cabin, which offers 50 percent more floor space than any other high-capacity aircraft. http://www.airbus.com/en/aircraftfamilies/a380/home/

Boeing 737

Manufacturer Overview

Boeing calls its 737 family "the world’s most popular and reliable commercial jet transport. The 737 is a short-to-medium-range airplane. Advanced technology winglets allow airlines to save on fuel, extend its range, carry more payload and reduce engine maintenance costs. Blended winglets are wing tip extensions which provide several benefits to airplane operators. The winglet option increases the Next-Generation 737's lead as the newest and most technologically advanced airplane in its class. http://www.boeing.com/commercial/737family/

Boeing 747

Manufacturer Overview

The 747-8 continues the 747 family legacy by integrating advanced technology into one of the world's most modern and fuel-efficient airplanes. The 747-400 incorporates major aerodynamic improvements over earlier 747 models, including the addition of winglets to reduce drag, new avionics, a new flight deck and the latest in-flight entertainment systems. And, the 747 continues to be the world's fastest subsonic jetliner, cruising at Mach .855—or 85.5 percent of the speed of sound. http://www.boeing.com/commercial/747family/index.html

Boeing 767

Manufacturer Overview

The Boeing 767 family is a complete family of airplanes providing market versatility in the 200- to 300-seat market. The Boeing 767 family includes three passenger models—the 767-200ER, 767-300ER and 767-400ER. The twin-engine 767—sized between the single-aisle 757 and the larger, twin-aisle 777—has built a reputation among airlines for its profitability and comfort.

767s produce less pollutant emissions per pound of fuel than any comparably sized jetliner, including the A330-200. The 767 family is cleaner than industry standards for all categories of emissions—nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, smoke, and carbon monoxide. http://www.boeing.com/commercial/767family/index.html

Boeing 777

Manufacuter Overview

Market demand sized, shaped, and launched the newest member of the Boeing twin-aisle family—the 777. The airplane design offers features, innovations, and approaches to airplane development that set the standard for delivering value to airlines.

The Boeing 777 is the first jetliner to be 100 percent digitally designed using three-dimensional computer graphics. Throughout the design process, the airplane was "pre-assembled" on the computer, eliminating the need for a costly, full-scale mock-up. The 777 currently is available in six models: 777-200, 777-200ER (extended range), 777-200LR (longer range), 777-300 and the 777-300ER, and the 777 Freighter. http://www.boeing.com/commercial/777family/index.html
