So recently Boeing announced the 737 MAX version with a new and more efficient engine, said to be 4% more fuel efficient than the A320NEO, to compete with airbus' release of a new engined A320, the A320NEO. I'm just was wondering what everyone thought of these two upcoming aircraft and if anyone dislikes them and prefers the current generations of both A320's and 737's.

Im sorry, but the A320neo just wins my heart. The 737 MAX is boeing's attempt to copy Airbus. Airbus will always be the greatest ;) .

My choice would be MAX, I hate the name, but the 737 is like a wine; the older it gets, the better it becomes. The new tail-cone looks sexy imho.


I liked TW and it's gone. NW, and it's gone. CO, and it's gone. Pray I don't like you.

Lucky for you they are getting both the 320NEO's (260 of them) and 737 MAX's (200 of them) replacing all of their MD-80/83's :)

ummm, Airbus isn't French either :P

"formed by a government initiative between France, Germany and the UK"

Airbus is currently owned by EADS (France, Germany, Spain) and BAE Systems (UK).

Funnily, it has final assembly production is at Toulouse (France), Hamburg (Germany), Seville (Spain) and Tianjin (People's Republic of China). It's also interesting to note they may soon have another production line in Mobile (United States of America)...

So, be careful when you say a MULTINATIONAL corporation belongs to one country... unlike Boeing, Airbus is not affiliated with one state... I already pointed this out so please read all the posts before posting nonsense.

okay first off you are correct about it being a multinational company, and i did not know that it was until you said that and when i researched it, but one thing that i know is that when they announce airbus they don't say Germany, France, and UK airbus. All they say is French plane manufacturer Airbus, (said in all articles and or video conferences i have read or seen) probably because the main final assembly line is in France ....so I'm sorry for not knowing "all" the details about it, but that's all i've known them as for as long as i've known them. so it's not nonsense okay :)

I've only ever seen Airbus called "the European plane manufacturer"... I never said I knew ALL the details about it but I know enough to know it isn't French or German.

Airbus is classed as a european company because of it vast array of european production lines and because EADS was formed after Boeing and McDonald douglas merged the EU needed to compete against it ;)

Their original plan was to update the A330 (My second favorite airplane, so graceful. A340 is the best) to match the 787 (Ugly!) Specs. but the media criticized this as just being a stop-gap effort, and pretty much forced them into the A350 (It better not be as ugly as their renderings).

Just Sayin'
