um. what are you smoking? please let me take a hit. Boeing has sold more 737s than Airbus has sold total planes.

The A32X is so far behind even just the 737 that it may as well not even be in the race.

Very well put.

You're all wrong. The Cessna 172 is the best selling plane of all time with over 40,000 units produced.

Ha, thats true. Good point!

[flyhegs]

yes . the cessna . If u are talking about civil airliners , the DC3 could be the best (probably) Don't forget that bgoeing is maybe 3 times older the A .

burrrnnnnn


----
does anyone know how many total 737's have been produced?

[piercey]

737 is around 4600, I think.

[Skycap]

Okay, here's the rundown from a fifteen minute search - sorry, I found no data on the Constellation but that's probably in the mix somewhere.
I only included airliners that had production orders of at least 500. The aircraft include all models and versions of the family.
So, the 737 includes all models from 100-900. The A320 includes A319, A320 and A321, etc.


DC-3: 10,655 (DUH!)
King Air: 4414 (Come on now, it's a commuter!)
737: 4236
A320: 2188
727: 1831
Lear Jet: 1421
747: 1356
MD80: 1191
CV240/340/440: 1076
AN-24: over 1100
757: 989
DC-9: 976 (all of which are still in use by Northwest Airlines! )
IL-76: 900
TU-154: over 900
707: 878
767: 858
F28: 787
TU-134: over 700
DC-6: 665
ERJ145: 648
DC10/MD11: 586
777: 573
DC-8: 557


And, just for fun:


Piper Cub: 29,868 - just to keep Cessna honest!

more accurate info on what is still flying:

[g-w-r]

ok 737 (100-900) is the largest selling airline ever...
cessna 172 largest selling aircraft ever...

[Skycap]

"more accurate info on what is still flying:"

Ah, what was the question posed?

"The best-SELLING planes of all time"

Sales - not what's currently flying.

[VC-10]

How about comparing how many 737s Boeing have sold since the A32X was offered? That would be fairer.

"How about comparing how many 737s Boeing have sold since the A32X was offered? That would be fairer."

So, do it then! Again, the request on this thread was for the best selling aircraft - period.

[VC-10]

Yes, I know that. All I was doing was asking a question. Can't you take that?

[clegallez]

I remember reading about a Russian plane that sold over 10,000, sorry I can't remember which one

[VC-10]

Was it the An-24 or something?
