Do Boeing and Airbus use the same engines?
The LEAP engine is used on both Boeing and Airbus jets. The Boeing 737 MAX’s troubles have been well-documented. The CFM Leap engine powers both the A320 NEO and 737 MAX.
What is difference between Boeing 747 and Airbus A380?
The biggest difference between the two is size as the A380 is certainly much bigger than the 747. The Airbus A380 has a wingspan that is 15m longer to that of the 747. It is also about 50\% heavier than the 747 even when empty. In order to get that much weight into the air, the A380 needs a lot more thrust than the 747.
What engines are fitted to the Airbus A380?
The A380 is offered with the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 (A380-841/-842) or the Engine Alliance GP7000 (A380-861) turbofan engines.
What engines are used in Boeing 737?
CFM56-7B ENGINE The CFM56-7B is the exclusive engine for the Boeing Next-Generation single-aisle airliner. In total, over 8,000 CFM56-7B engines are in service on 737 aircraft, making it the most popular engine-aircraft combination in commercial aviation.
Who makes the engines for Boeing 737?
CFM International
Each 737 MAX will use a pair of LEAP-1B jet engines developed by CFM International, a joint venture between GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines of France.
Which is faster A380 or 747?
Speed: 747s can fly faster than the A380s. The maximum cruise speed of an A380 is Mach 0.89 (89\% of the speed of sound in air) while the two newest variants of the 747 (“-400” and “-8”) can cruise at a speed of Mach 0.855. For the A380 it’s Mach 0.89 and for the 747-8 it’s Mach 0.9.
Which is bigger Airbus A380 or Boeing 777?
Whilst the Boeing 777-9 does very well with 414 seats onboard, the Airbus A380 dominates with over 500 seats. Even looking at a 3 class variation, the A380 just has way more room. This is due to the plane being double-decked, fitting in roughly twice the space on board.
How big is A380 Airbus?
The largest commercial passenger plane in the world, the A380, is a double-decker behemoth with four engines, a wingspan of 262 feet, and a cabin that can hold more than 500 people.
