Utilizing fly-by-wire controls and a non-standard electrical architecture, the B787 has replaced hydraulic and bleed air systems with electrically operated pumps and compressors.
Over 1,000 have been delivered to date, with orders of close to 500 remaining to be built and delivered. It is the first airliner with a fuselage, wings, and significant structural components constructed mainly of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer composite material. Wide-Body #5: Boeing 787Ī successor to the Boeing 767, the B787 Dreamliner entered service in 2011, promising 20% less fuel burn than the B767 when flown on comparable routes. Here’s a look at the five most common wide-bodied airliners based on build numbers, followed by five of the most common narrow-bodied airliners. As of 2021, that number has shrunk close to one-to-one. In 2006 there were over two Boeing aircraft in service worldwide for every Airbus.
Since then, Airbus has slowly overhauled the lead its competitor possessed with airliners in service. Airbus began in the 1960s and threw down the gauntlet to Boeing, which had been in operation since the 1920s. Airbus is a pan-European consortium, and Boeing is American. Having a duopoly on the global airliner market, they hold approximately 99% of the business between them. Yet, since the 1990s, the playground has shrunk to two significant players, Airbus and Boeing. This is the upper end of aviation where the big kids play large aircraft, large companies, and aggressive competition. Jet Airliners: Global Travel In Style And Comfort Let’s look at a cross-section of the aviation world and learn a little more about their stories. By definition, some fine modern aircraft in everyday use will not be on the list due to the short time they’ve been in production. However, the list below has chosen aircraft by the quantity built. Not as simple as it sounds, as there are many aircraft that could be highlighted, and arguably should. We’re going to look at thirty of the world’s most common aircraft.
