  • The idea of building the Airbus A330 dates back to the mid-1970s when the European planemaker was looking to improve the A300. The concept for the A330 was to build a widebody aircraft that could compete with the Lockheed L-1011 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10.

    Aer Lingus bought their A330s at a heavily discounted price. In exchange, they were to use their planes to help Aibus get ETOPS approval for the Type on North Atlantic.

      This is the god butter-machine. Every a330 I flew since my 3yo, landed like "uh ?? we landed right now ? I thought we're still in air" or when I play "fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, ten, ten,ten" and then landed smoothly make me very satisfied like I'm going to heaven. I can't even imagine that they ll be out of service in next decade. :')

    @eirfanhazlan9271 4 роки тому +1

    Compared to smaller widebodies and the A330 when its introduced, i imagine that it feels larger not only on its length, but also wingspan.
    Like, A300, A310, 767, Dc-10 and L1011 were around the same size, and then there's 747.
    Although there's Md-11, it still looks a bit smaller compared to the A330-300.
    And like what the video says, i imagine the A330-300 being the largest twin engine widebody at its time, just before 777 were introduced.
    Also, the early concept design on the A330 looks like the A300, but longer while still using the same wing, unlike the larger wing that the A330 have.
    Nevertheless, the A330 is one of my first favourite aircraft, and i still love it to this day:
    A330-200 (with pw4000)
    A330-300 (with cfm6)
    A330-900neo
    A330-800neo

    I’ve flown the a330 several times. But I’ve flown the 777 more, and I am a bigger fan of the Boeing. The 777 has an unmatched legacy and history, plus being more beautiful and more well thought in my opinion. The GE90 and upcoming GE9X engines are just so great. The wider cabin makes the planes feel more spacious inside. The a330’s cabin feels kinda weak and the windows that go up by the end of the fuselage just make me go crazy. Also, those winglets are just ugly. But I can’t complain about the plane. I’ve had great experiences in it. When comparing the A330neo with the 787, it’s easy to see who’s leading the mid size wide body segment better. The Dreamliner is cheaper and more efficient. And it’s also waaaay better for passengers

      @@consciousanimusic9293 I think it's because of no feedback scheme that could jeopardize the safety (happened on Flight 447). A330 is my most favourite airliner but for passengers airline I think yoke control with feedback system is preferable.
