Airbus' success forced Boeing to develop the rival 771 twinjet, yet by the early 1990s Airbus was winning as many orders for new aircraft as Boeing. In 2000 Airbus became o conventional shore-based company owned 20% by the European Aeronautics Defence and Space (EADS) Company and 20% by British BAE Systems. It immediately decided to develop o 'superjumbo', the 4380, with the potential to carry up to 850 passengers, depending on internal seat layout. In 2005 EADS become the sole owner of Airbus. The A380 made its first commercial flight in 2007.
Mission It was designed for passenger purposes. The design allowed a spacious cabin with 50% more floor space than the next largest airliner, the Boeing 747-400. Airbus A380 is currently ensuring wider seats and aisles for more passenger comfort and provides seating for 555 people in standard three-class configuration or up to 853 people in full economy class configuration. Engine The A380 is available with two types of turbofan engines, the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 or the Engine Alliance GP7000 . Trent 900 core incorporates the swept fan technology of the stillborn Trent 8104.The GP7000 has a GE90-derived core and

These engines have been developed from previous generations of engines which have been developed by the same manufacture over the past years. These two engines have had the efficiency improved and their damaging emissions reduced. This report looks at the two engines used in the Airbus A380 and their heritage in design. The reports looks into differences in design which the two manufactures decided to pursue.
Easy jet is the largest air line in terms of passengers volume – ‘59 million’ (Easy Jet corporate media file, p.3) in UK and internationally across 30 countries with flight scheduled services of ‘600 routes’ as well as the fourth largest short-haul carrier in Europe with a market share of ‘8%’ (Easy jet annual report, 2012, p.12). In order to promote efficient service to customers, they introduce speed boarding that gives passenger’s greater choice over their seat arrangements. Furthermore, the volumes of passenger’s turnover have increased their financial performance to ‘£317 million’ (p.9) profit before tax and after tax of ‘£255 million’ (p.19).

HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL 9-201-028 REV: APRIL 26, 2004 BENJAMIN ESTY Airbus A3XX: Developing the World's Largest Commercial Jet (A) Aviation is a great business to be in, provided you have limitless money at your disposal, limitless confidence in your ability to get everything right the first time, and limitless resolve and iron nerve,' EADS (Airbus) is betting the company on this aircraft. 2 On June 23, 2000, Airbus Industrie's Supervisory Board approved an Authorization to Offer (ATO) the A3XX, a proposed super jumbo jet that would seat from 550 to 990 passengers, have a list price of $216 million, and cost $13 billion to develop. Before the Board would commit to industrial launch, the point at which significant expenditures would begin, it hoped to secure orders for 50 jets from as many as five major airlines. While Airbus had been courting potential customers for many years-in fact, development had been underway since 1990-the ATO gave the sales force permission to begin taking firm orders for the plane with delivery starting in 2006. Airbus management announced the first orders for the A3XX at the bi-annual Air Show in Famborough, England, in July 2000.
Boeing’s threat - 7 - Conclusion - 8 - Reference list - 9 - Introduction In 1993 Airbus came up with the project of creating a super jumbo-jet designed to travel with a range of over 14,000 km and carry 555 passengers (Irwin & Pavcnik, 2001). Airbus’ competitor, the American firm ‘Boeing’, market leader since 1960, in order to counter the introduction of a super jumbo jet like the A380, started a project that would ‘stretch’ it’s initial ‘747’ in order to compete with Airbus’ A380 (Esty & Ghemawat, 2002). The 747, first wide-body aircraft (also called a jumbo jet), holds the capacity record of passengers for 37 years. It is the fastest airplane on the market and can attain a range of more than 13,000 km. After two efforts of creating the stretched version of the ‘747’ Boeing cancelled the project leaving Airbus take the lead thanks to its new super jumbo.
