Airliners

COMAC C919 is a Chinese airliner designed to compete with the most popular narrowbodies – Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. It is the company’s second passenger jet after the smaller ARJ21. The C919 first flew in 2017 and the first airframe to enter commercial service was delivered to China Eastern Airlines in December 2022. Actual […]

When I first published an article similar to this one a few years ago, there were still about 20 airlines operating the one and only Queen of the Skies – Boeing 747 – on scheduled flights. That number has, unfortunately, dwindled to just four or five airlines making the type now rarer than the Airbus

COMAC ARJ21 is a Chinese twin jet aircraft with rear fuselage-mounted engines that resembles the McDonnell Douglas MD-80. While not as much as its larger C919 counterpart which is currently only operated by China Eastern Airlines, the ARJ21 is still a relatively rare aircraft.

The 767 and A320 are both twin-engine aircraft, but that is perhaps where the similarities end. The 767 is a significantly larger and heavier aircraft than the A320. Having entered into service in 1982 compared to A320’s 1988, it is also the older of the two. In this article, I’ll compare these two aircraft from

The 767 and A380 widebodies are very different aircraft physically, primarily due to the upper passenger deck on the A380, making the A380 a much bigger and heavier aircraft than the 767. The one thing they have in common, though, is that neither the A380 nor the passenger variants of the 767 are in production

Beyond the fact that they are both twin-engine Boeing aircraft, the 767 and 737 are two very different aircraft types. The 767 first went into service in 1982, and the passenger variants of the 767 are no longer in production with the numbers in commercial airline fleets now dwindling rapidly. However, the 767 freighter and

The 747 first went into service in 1970, and the 767 followed just over a decade later in. The 747 production run has now ended and the passenger variants of the 767 are also no longer in production with the numbers in commercial airline fleets now dwindling rapidly. However, the 767 freighter and tanker are

Did you ever watch a huge airplane such as an A380 and wonder how this huge machine weighing almost 600 tons can get off the ground and fly? And once you stopped trying to work that out, did you then begin to wonder how high an airplane will fly after it has taken off and

The Boeing 767 and Airbus A350 are both twin-engine, twin-aisle widebodies. The 767 first went into service in 1982, and the A350 followed decades later in 2015. While the passenger variants of the 767 are no longer in production and the numbers in commercial airline fleets are dwindling, the 767 freighter and tanker are still
