gibney85,
Let's not forget, Airbus have hardly changed aviation as much as boeing or mcdonald douglas etc.
and
Airbus has a bit to go yet to be compared to Boeing
Back to your favourite aviation history book,please.
1/-First wide body twin engined pax jet :the A-300
2/-First two-man crew concept on a large jet :the FFCC leading to the disappearance of the FE :the A-310 (Boeing reacted with the 767).
3/-First use of CRT's flight instruments:the A-310 again
4/-First use of electrical flight controls ,coupled with a side-stick controller :the A-320,then the 340,the 330 ...(Boeing answered 12 years later with the 777.)
There are probably a few more "firsts".in which you could include the use of advanced materials,cockpit commonality...etc...
As for bragging,you would notice that the pro boeing lobby is quite q lot more vocal than any other group on this forum.Un fortunately,facts and figures seem not to help them these days.
Sleep well
