What is different from Boeing Airbus? (24 photos) Bashny.Net

This question will help us to answer well-known blogger, who gave an interesting account of the difference between these two planes.




Every self-respecting traveler should know the difference between a Boeing from Airbus! This is the ABC of all those who fly, or rather its first two letters "A" and "B". How much is something everyone can distinguish the BMW from Mercedes, but with planes in most cases the situation is very bad. Today, we try to correct this defect, 10 simple but expressive differences between such seemingly similar aircraft. Even if you do not care, you fly, you are just a little basic knowledge to broaden my horizons, and help pass the window waiting at the airport, trying to identify the model of a board.

But let's start with a small, but important details ... There is no such word in Russian "Airbus"! In the English transcription of the Airbus name should be pronounced as "Airbus", a bit strange at first, but right this way!

In this article, I will discuss the main visual differences between the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. These two models of aircraft and their modifications are the most widespread in the world, we fly them more often. Short-hour flight to six or seven hour flight over long distances.

Family Airbus A320 - is available since 1988, it is currently more than 5,400 instances originally issued. It includes models A318, A319, A320, A321, A320-neo.

Family 737 - world's most popular narrow-body jet airliner. Released more than 7,400 aircraft.
Includes: 737 Original (B737-100, -200), 737 Classic (-300, -400, -500), 737 - Next Generation (NG -600, -700, -800, -900), 737-MAX .

Unlike №1 - Clearance - Airbus greater than Boeing.

Unlike №2 - The shape of the nose. In all Airbus, a Boeing sharp.

Unlike №3 - The shape of the tail. At Boeing forkil giving the characteristic "break" - the so-called move at an angle in front of, it is not present at the Airbus tail "flat" on both sides.

Unlike №4 - Nozzle APU. Auxiliary Power Unit: Airbus have elongated and Boeing short and steep. The nozzle is located behind the APU forkil in the back of the plane:

Three Airbus and Boeing farthest on the photo:



Unlike №5 - Engines - from Airbus (front view) they are round, flattened at the bottom of Boeing.

Airbus:



Boeing, aircraft engines have generations of Classic and Next Generation air intakes have a non-circular shape. The units are located side the fade engine. Such a solution called "ohomyachivanie" (eng. Hamsterisation).



However, the earlier Boeing models (Generation Original) engines used another form - a thin, elongated. This turbofan engines JT8D manufacture Pratt & Whitney



Unlike №6 - The side windows of the cockpit: from Airbus - direct from Boeing angular bottom sometimes with additional sections on top.

Airbus A320 in this picture on the right (!), To the left in the background nose A330:



Boeing, additional windows above the windscreen borrowed from Boeing 707. Their main task - the expansion of the viewing angle. With the improvement of the avionics window become redundant and will no longer set, but there are still quite often:



Unlike №7 - Chassis. At Airbus niches main landing closed at Boeing are none.

At Boeing 737 no flaps main landing gear. The main landing gear retracted into the recesses in the center section of the aircraft, with little aerodynamic drag is created. If you watch the takeoff B737 standing on the ground, easy to see black rings under the wings of tires.



Unlike №8 - Doors - at Airbus pushed aside, and she swings at Boeing with 180 degrees.

Unlike №9 - winglets / Sharklety. There are 737 high and long. At Airbus in the form of small ptichiki.

Winglets at the B737 - a form of winglets, which reduce aerodynamic drag, allowing you to reduce fuel consumption by up to 5%. Winglets can be installed even on those aircraft that were originally released without them.





And the standard wingtip in the form of "bird" at Airbus - are relatively small compared with Boeing:



However sharklety in 2012 began to establish and Airbus. I saw them only once, visually difficult to distinguish from the winglets: third plane WizzAir-Ukraine that the company has made this year. Photo anorgasmus



Unlike №10 - Gates. At Airbus double flash with a small pause, a Boeing single flash without pause.

These are just the main differences between the A320 and the B737, from long-haul wide-body differences are somewhat different, but some elements are identical and the patterns are the same.

And within each family are different passenger capacity of the aircraft inside and outside long, from the A318 to the A321 from Airbus.
