Airbus S.A.S. is the commercial aircraft manufacturer based in Toulouse, France. The company was founded in 2001 under French law as a join stock company that facilitated or "SAS" (Société par Actions Simplifiée).
Airbus held by EADS (80%) and BAE SYSTEMS (20%), two providers and producing the largest military. Also known as Airbus Industrie first name, or Airbus.
Airbus employs around 40,000 people in several European countries. Final assembly took place in Toulouse, France and Hamburg, Germany, although the construction carried out in several factories in Europe.
History:
Airbus Industrie began as a consortium of European aviation firms to compete with American companies like Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. Formed in 1970 following an agreement between Aerospatiale (France) and Deutsche Aerospace (Germany) (followed by CASA (Spain) in 1971) to develop the Airbus A300, which first flew in 1972.
In 1979 British Aerospace (now BAE SYSTEMS) joined with Airbus. With 38% shares respectively held by Germany and France, 20% held by English and Spanish holding 4%.
Initially a loose alliance but that changed in 2000 when DASA, and CASA merged to form EADS and BAE and 2001 when EADS formed the Airbus Integrated Company to develop the A380, which is a plane with 555 passengers and the largest aircraft in the world's largest commercial at the start operational in 2006. A380 aircraft was launched on January 18, 2005.
A380
hen the first aircraft built and flown up into the size of the aircraft continues to be made bigger. in 1950 boeing 707 large produce. later in the year 1970, produce and launch boeing 747 boeing larger again. In 2006, the aircraft giant "A380" new up into.The A380 has four engines, Rolls-Royce engines trent 900 to 36,280 pounds thrust turbofans or four alliance egine Gp 7200, with 37,003 pounds thrust.
The standard version of the A380 plane has 854 seats for passengers, while the A380-900 has 1000 seats for passengers. above this plane is the central spending, where the children play, and other facilities.
A330
The Airbus A330 is a large-capacity, wide-body, twin-engine, medium-to-long-range commercial passenger airliner. Built at Toulouse in France by Airbus, over 600 units have been delivered.
First flown in 1992, the A330 was developed at the same time as the four-engined Airbus A340, and was designed with common fuselage and wing components. The first variant (series 300) was delivered to Air Inter in 1994 and was followed by the slightly shorter series 200.[4] This has been followed by dedicated freighter and tanker variants.
Design and development
The A330 and A340 programs were jointly launched in November 1987.[4] Airlines purchased it to replace the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The A330 is 38% more fuel efficient than the DC-10.[5]
Airbus intended the A330 to compete directly in the ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operation Performance Standards) market, specifically with the Boeing 767. In November 2009 the A330 became the first aircraft to receive with ETOPS-240 approval, which is now offered by Airbus as an option. [1].
The A330's fuselage and wings are virtually identical to those of the smaller A340 variants, although it has different engines. The A330 basic fuselage design is inherited from the Airbus A300, and the nose/cockpit section and the fly-by-wire system and flightdeck are inherited from the A320. Both the A330 and A340 are assembled on the same final assembly line at Toulouse-Blagnac, France.
By the end of November 2009 a total of 1,035 A330s have been ordered and 654 delivered.[1] The 1,000 milestone was passed with orders from the 2008 Farnborough Air Show. The largest operators of the A330 are Delta Air Lines and Cathay Pacific with 32 aircraft in service each.[citation needed] Airbus expects the A330 to continue selling until at least 2015.[6]
A300-600ST
The Airbus A300-600ST (Super Transporter) or Beluga is a version of the standard A300-600 wide-body airliner modified to carry aircraft parts and over-sized or awkward cargo. It was officially called the Super Transporter at first, but the name Beluga became popular and has now been officially adopted.
