Having first flown in 1982, the Boeing 757 was designed in parallel with the 767. That said, while it shares some features with the larger 767, it was designed to serve completely different markets resulting in completely different characteristics. Boeing provided the 757 in three variants, each with different capabilities. Across the three variants, the […]

Whilst Boeing 787 and Airbus A340 are both long-range widebody aircraft, they are different in two main respects. The 787 is a twinjet and the A340 is a quadjet, and the 787 is a much newer aircraft, first entering service almost two decades after the A340. The newer 787 first went into service in 2011,

The widebody 777 and narrowbody 737 are both Boeing aircraft but are very different aircraft in terms of size and scale and are targeted at different markets. The 737 has been around in various formats for over five decades and has continued to evolve and improve over this time, and is still in production with

The 767 and 777 are both twin-engine, twin-aisle widebodies. The 767 first went into service in 1982, and the 777 followed later in 1995. Passenger variants of the 767 are no longer in production and the numbers in passenger airline fleets are dwindling. However, the 767 freighter and tanker are still available. The 767 has

Boeing 787 and Airbus A321 aircraft are different in many respects. Whilst both are twin-engine aircraft, that is perhaps where the similarities end. The 787 is a significantly larger and heavier aircraft than the A321 and they tend to serve different markets. The newer 787 first went into service in 2011 compared to 1994 for

The Boeing 787 and the Airbus A330neo variants are direct competitors with impressive ranges, operating on some of the world’s longest commercial air routes. The A330 had been flying commercially for 17 years before the 787 came on the scene. Airbus revamped and improved the original A330 variants and created the A330neo in direct response

The Boeing 787 and Airbus A320 are different in many respects. Whilst both are twin-engine aircraft, that is perhaps where the similarities end. Actually, they are also both highly successful aircraft and both are still in production with large order backlogs. The 787, though, is a significantly larger and heavier aircraft than the A320. The

Visit any busy airport today and the chances are you’ll see at least some Boeing 787s and Airbus A350s parked there. These two very successful aircraft are dominating our skies, and rightly so. They are very efficient and have incredible ranges. Whilst these two aircraft are currently competing head-to-head for sales, they were not originally

The 767 and 787 are both twin-engine, twin-aisle widebodies. That perhaps is where the similarities end. Whilst the 767 introduced some innovations such as a two-crew cockpit, improvements in avionics, and fuel efficiency developments, it has been eclipsed by the 787. The 787 benefits from decades of technological and operational efficiency improvements compared to the
