itself much smarter than other leading planes in the industry, but very efficient engines allow for the plane to use less fuel, yet fly farther distances which makes the plane much greener, and cleaner than leading industry competitors such as the Boeing 747. Furthermore, the Airbus A380 has reduced noise levels, diminishing another major concern of airports, when they think about such a large plan... ... middle of paper ... ...A380 features the newest and the most technologically advanced materials
Analysis Introduction of Boeing and Airbus In the United States, Boeing was the primary civil aviation manufacturer for over half a century. Using manufacturing and defense techniques, it soon became the world’s top producer of commercial aircraft. Of their fleet consisting of fourteen models (five families), their forerunner was the 747-400. When they first produced the 747 in 1965, their decision was criticized and called a gamble. Nonetheless, Boeing announced an initial order of 25 planes
In 1988 engineers at the Airbus headquarters in Toulouse started work on a highly ambitious project, the possibility of a commercial UHCA (ultra-high-capacity aircraft). By 1993 Boeing and Deutsche Aerospace, a member of the Airbus consortium, surprisingly declared they were joining forces on a VLCT (very large commercial transport) feasibility study, with the aim to create a product in a shared partnership that would lead in the limited market [7]. Nevertheless two years later this study was abandoned
Boeing/Airbus Case Analysis Competition in the Commercial Aircraft Business With only a few large companies across the globe (Boeing, MD, and Airbus), the commercial aircraft industry essentially exhibits the qualities of an oligopolistic competition with intense rivalry. Here is an analysis of competition in the commercial aircraft business using Porter’s Five Forces. Figure 1: Porter’s Five Forces Applied to Aircraft Industry Barrier to entry: - High barriers to entry, to a certain extent
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
aircraft. Companies like Airbus, Boeing, Lockheed, Learjet etc. are fighting hard to keep on top of daily technological changes and are doing extensive research on designing and manufacturing energy efficient, low carbon secretion aircrafts. In general, jet engines (both supersonic and subsonic) consume huge amounts of energy and have very high carbon emission rates. For instance, the Boeing 747-400ERF, at maximum takeoff, has a weight of 412,775 kg. To keep this 400-ton bird in the air, at an altitude

and triple within 15 and 20 years, respectively. Larger aircraft are being developed to handle the influx of passengers in airports. The Airbus industry made the first large aircraft, including the Boeing 777 and the A380. It is important to note that these aircraft are bigger than the initial B747-400. However, as the need for air travel increased, aircraft manufacturers developed the “super jumbo” jet, which has a carrying capacity of 555 to 800 passengers (Yeamans, 2006). Most large aircraft have
Introduction Basically, human factors are important in relation with the aviation industry. It is the human interaction with the surrounding system. Furthermore, “Human factors discovers and applies information about human behaviour, limitations, abilities, and other characteristics to the design of tools, tasks, jobs, systems, machines, and environments for productive, safe, comfortable, and effective human use” (Chapanis, 1996). Besides that, human factors can maintain the performance of the personnel
Accidents occur unexpectedly and the effects they bring about may be severe depending on their nature. The effects that are brought about by accidents vary in severity, and duration within which they affect individuals either directly or indirectly attached to the incidence. Air crash is one of the most fatal accidents and in most of the reported cases; there have been more casualties than survivors. The effects that are brought about by an air crash may be classified as either physical or psychological
Pan American World Airways, Inc Pan American World Airways, Inc ("Pan Am") is a New York corporation organized in 1927 which is engaged in commercial air transportation which it pioneered between the United States and most areas of the world. Pan Am Corporation ("the Corporation"), a Delaware corporation, is and since September 14, 1984 has been the parent of Pan Am, it's principal subsidiary. For the past few years Pan Am's financial condition has been very poor. The company
Question 1: Air Crash Investigations is a television series, which airs on National Geographic. Air Crash Investigations depicts air traffic accidents that have occurred in the past and the happenings that led to the air crash. The television series content contains a number of air disasters and air disasters that almost happened. The series contains eyewitness accounts and the investigations into the air crashes and near misses conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The series
Evaluation: The Boeing 7E7 Introduction of Boeing Boeing was incorporated in Seattle by William Boeing, on July 15, 1916, as "Pacific Aero Products Co". Started as a simple airplane factory, Boeing now has become the largest global aircraft manufacturers, with a range of production of commercial and defense aircrafts, satellites, rockets, and so on. Boeing is the largest exporter in the US, and its stock is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. In terms of its defense segment, Boeing is the
because airlines neglect to prevent human error or repair faulty equipment. Sometimes I think the only reason an airplane could crash is if something on the plane were to break. However, most of the time that is not the case. A survey conducted by Boeing found that flight crews were responsible for at least seventy-three percent of all fatal airplane accidents. (Gray 17). Forty-one percent of these accidents occurred during landing because of unstable approaches. Also an investigation by the National
Airbus industry was formed as the conglomeration of western European countries which included Britain, Germany, and Spain and was led by France. During that period, Boeing was the largest manufacturer of the commercial aircrafts and held the monopoly in the market, which brought the aviation industry of the European nations into their senses. This led to the formation of France led Airbus. Now, Airbus is one of the leading manufacturers of aircrafts and has a product line of aircrafts which range
of the manufacture and sale of jet aircraft has been Boeing, with its importance to the U.S. economy over the past 50 years in supplying the military with defense aircraft, commercial airlines with aviation aircraft, and even NASA with space shuttles. Until now, the start of the 21st century, Airbus has not been able to produce a product to compete with Boeing’s 747 in the VLA market; Boeing has held monopoly in VLA market in terms of its 747-xxx airplanes. In order to attain greater market share
Technology That Changed the World The future holds many things, some of those things are new cars, and new airplanes, but there is no one that stops and thinks on where all of that technology came from. The 1970s was a decade that changed many things and especially because of technology. Technology helped peoples life be better by improving, Transportation, Space travel , Computers and Health and Medicine and many more new products. The technology really helped a lot of people and made peoples
There are a multitude of factors which may cause accidents in aviation. Mechanical errors, air traffic control errors, maintenance neglect, and fueling errors are just a few that may contribute to these accidents. Looking closely at the errors mentioned, there is one common factor that, if avoided, may lessen the chances of these accidents in the air: Human Error. From the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, to the faulty handling of military cargo and the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian

INTRODUCTION An ‘emergency’ is ‘an unplanned event that can cause deaths or significant injuries to employees, customers or the public; or that can shut down business, disrupt operations, cause physical or environmental damage, or threaten the facility’s financial standing or public image’ (en.wikipedia.org, n.a.) in (FEMA, 1993). Emergencies such as aircraft accidents are extremely sensitive to manage and often draw public attentions and sympathies across the globe. For instance, the crash of
