Qatar Places Order For 50 Boeing 737 MAX Aircraft

Never flown the 380, but from what I hear, it’s much more spacious, comfortable, and it’s much quieter than the 747.

Boeing doesn’t have any smaller jets to compete with the A220. You can argue the 737 max 7 could possibly, but the 220 is much more optimized for what its meant to be.

As far as the Max, it’s been good so far. If it can run another two years or so maybe I’ll feel comfortable with it, but Boeing really messed up with that one and it’ll take some time for me to give it my trust again.

I knew this would happen. :joy:

Not sure what’s wrong with Boeing and not with Airbus when they say the A350 has “just a cosmetic issue” without any proper investigation on the matter. Guess we’re all better off at Embraer. :smirk:

What about the 35K?

11

I’ve never flown it, so I can’t give a personal view on it. However, from what I’ve read, it’s a nice plane.

bruh its literally a stretched A359

So? It’s still a different experience. That’s like saying flying the 767-300 is the same as flying the 767-400.

14

And isn’t it? Or at least 99% the same?

15

Meh. Not really. I flew on United’s. The 767-300 was surprisingly more spacious than the 767-400. It was also quieter and easier to sleep on.

16

Probably bc their 763s have PWs and the 764s have CF6s

17

so going of your hypothesis an experience on the 737-100 is different to that of a 737 MAX 9

how can an experience on the 737-100 be equal to a 737 MAX 9?

No

You see, the A350-1000 is essentially just a stretched A350-900, very much unlike the 737-100 and the 737 MAX 9, which has a completely different cabin, cockpit, engines, heck even the wings are different (they redesigned the wing when making the NG)

And with that yes I’m saying that flying on, say an A320neo is a different experience than flying an A320ceo, but not an A321neo

This is why you have no friends. I can list multiple reasons why the 787 is better.

  1. 787 is much more efficient
  2. 787 is cheaper by 10%
  3. 787 employed much more advanced features such as the large windows and passenger cabin humidity.
  4. Industry prefers the 787, it has 30% more orders than the A350
  5. 787 does not have skin-fuselage cracking issues alike the A350.

Before @TheGlobalAviator comes here saying about the wing, it appears Boeing knows what the issue is and is working on both an immediate and a long-term solution.

Not a Boeing issue, a carbon fiber manufacturer issue (the carbon fiber parts are built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan). They said some parts may have been contaminated but are no cause for concern.

both planes suck
