  • Why did Airbus launch the A321XLR, and when it enters service, will it be another one of the nails in Boeing's coffin in the middle of the market sector, which is now primarily dominated by the European plane maker?

      @mikoto7693 Agreed, and very much in the way that the C Series pushed Airbus into creating the NEO, although history suggests that they had a far better platform to update.
      I think that Boeing's failure to react to the CSeries unlike Airbus did, but wait until the NEO forced them to so, demonstrates an unbelievable arrogance on Boeing's part.
      Their attitude is even more unforgivable, since this is exactly what they did when the 'upstart' Airbus with just a single widebody range (A300/310) to their name had the audacity to even think that they could make something to threaten their mighty 737 Classic.

      The a380 was designed and actually came out before the 747-8..the a380 also outsold the total number of 747-8 ever produced (if you exclude orders by Emirates, you got a rough even split between a380 and 747-8).
      The saving graces that led to a fairly decent 747-8 programme were the -8F version, and the fact many of its operators were already fairly used to the type (which smooth the introduction of the plane - as opposed to a brand new one like the a380).
      As mentioned, it was the introduction of high performing dual engine wide body planes (plus the costs of running quadjets) that killed both planes...

    I think that all those fanboys saying that it isn't a true 757 replacement are missing the point.
    Quite simply, it doesn't have to be.
    All it needs to be is is a better fit than the 737.
    By this metric, it more than succeeds, and thanks to Boeing's past behaviour, the 737's loss of Grandfather rights makes any further variants, or, in many cases even improvements to the 737. next to impossible. Only a clean-sheet replacement now makes economic sense.

    • @barneyklingenberg4078

      That and Airbus got a slightly smaller clean sheet design more or less for free.

    • @LeTangKichiro
      @LeTangKichiro 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Exactly. And they fail to remember that airlines didn't want to have a 757 replacement anyway. Boeing discussed a 757MAX (or whatever you would call such a plane). Airlines were not enthusiastic about that proposal. Boeing discussed building a baby 787 which they called the MOM (middle of the market. Basically a twin-aisle short-to-middle range jet which would have been above the 737/320, but below or at 757ish sizewise. Twin-aisle was proposed by Boeing in order to give the plane greater cargo capabilities. Airlines didn't jump at that plane either. The legacy 757 sales dried up, so Boeing closed down that production line.
      Many aviation fans have their visions tainted by their own preferences rather than realising that aviation is a harsh numbers game.

    A321XLR is a almost prefect like for like 757-200 replacment. The range is slightly longer, the interior space is about the same (due to how the lavtories are organzied, the A321XLR could fit a few more seats, but not a full row). Airbus got slightly longer range anda shorter wing (so gates slots are cheaper), the XLR is also some 10-15% more fuel efficent. That is not a huge amount, but wellcome.
    The shorter wing is almost fully compesanted by the lighter load. But its worth saying that the payload of the XLR is slightly lower.
    About the A322 (that don´t exist, yes i know). For the 757 series, the -200 was sold slightly lower than 1000, and the -300 was sold 55 units. Yea, that is quite a diffrance. That would of cause sugest that there is no market for a A322.... buuut. There is a issue here. When 737-300 came around both 767-200 and A310 as well as A300-600 was popular planes. All of those is about 25 seats away from 757-300. The wide bodies was simply the better choice back then.
    The situation today is sort of diffrent. All the competitors are gone. There simply exist on aircraft on the market for between ~230-300 passangers

      Just look at the Airbus A330 Neo for reference. It’s too close for comfort to the 787 in regards to efficiency. And that plane is a really good clean sheet design.

    XLR biggest problem is its two main wheels a side. This means it has a very high PCN (pavement classification number) and it may be restricted from operating into certain airports due to the weight it will put down on the two small areas beneath each tyre.
    The tarmac will take a high stress and airports manage the runway stress to ensure damage is minimal and runway life is optimal.
    A very hot surface temp tarmac runway will easily get damaged with this high PCN.
    So some smaller airports may restrict its landing or not accept it at all.

    Didn't Airbus themselves already warn their customers of the 200 NM reduction? Also, the estimated real world range with typical airline usage is not the advertised 4700 NM, after reduction it is more between 3800-4000 NM. However, even with that reduction, you can still get from Washington DC to as far east as Budapest. (BRU, GVA, Frankfurt or Vienna being more logical connections though), or Sydney up to Hongkong, Taipeh. It won't allow Sydney-Tokio anymore though, but I doubt you'd use a A321 on such a main route. This aircraft is rather a perfect fit for specific P2P connections, after identifying specific traveller streams and offering them shortcuts. Like DC-BRU, DC-VIE. Business centers, lobbyists, etc.

      As a frequent Business traveler myself, I find that for short flights (up to 3-4 hours what you say is true but for medium and longhaul, there is a strong preference for wide bodies and aircraft that allow space and facilities to work and also to get some sleep before arrival. For short flights the narrow bodies will serve their purpose well. Unlike Regional Jets and their prop cousins which have a dubious safety record and are normally avoided unless impossible. Obviously my comments are based on Business travelers (like myself) who travel in premium classes. If they are booked in coach then it could well be that flying direct wins out.@@barneyklingenberg4078

    I generally like the A320 family. And I think from a technical perspective, the 321 XLR is an interesting aircraft.
    But, as someone who flies between Europe and the US more or less regularly, I totally dread the idea of being stuck in the narrow single-aisle tube for more than let's say 4-5 hours maximum. Leaving the technical awe aside that the really big ones come with, as a passenger, I prefer the more medium-sized widebodies, like A330 or 767. They are big enough to not feel trapped, but at the same time small enough that boarding goes smoothly and you don't end up in way too large of a crowd. No surprise that the A330 is my most flown aircraft by miles flown, which probably makes it very obvious who usually takes me across the Atlantic....
    Honestly, I rather fly a route with an additional stop somewhere than feeling claustrophobic all the way to my destination on an XLR.

    @gop4usa12 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The A321 LXR isn't all it's cracked up to be. Air carriers count on cargo space to fly all their passengers luggage and so they can haul freight as well. The only thing that gives the XLR it's extra range is a giant gas can in the cargo bay. Air carriers can not afford to give up the cargo space on most of their international routes. Personally, as a passenger, I will not book a long haul flight on a single aisle aircraft. I believe that the two most perfect seating configurations come from the B767 and A330. Half or more of the seats are on the aisle and you only have to get up for one person to use the lav. I also prefer wide bodies because the lavatories are in the center of the planes rather than on the sides, making them more spacious. Long haul flights on single aisle planes have got to be the most miserable travel experience there is. Save the twin aisles!

    With over 500 already ordered, there's no doubt that the XLR is already a success, however, by the time most of the units are delivered, the aircraft runs the risk of suffering the same fate as the A380, meaning it may arrive a bit too late to the market.
    The A320 airframe is aging just like the 737, and by the 2030s, there will be new narrowbody aircraft in the market that will have the range and not the limitations of having to carry so much additional fuel.
    Boeing's new narrowbody will be announced before Airbus delivers half of the XLR it has on order, and focus will shift very quickly.
    Airbus continues to focus a lot of its plane making acumen on range, and with the exception of just a small handful of airlines, range is not the predominant factor in their decision making.
    I predict that the next Boeing narrowbody will hurt Airbus. They have such a heavy backlog that many airlines will be enjoying new, more modern aircraft from Boeing while Airbus continues to deliver 'old' A320s. In the 2030s, Boeing may have the last laugh in the narrowbody sector, because the next aircraft will most certainly change the game.
