Boeing v Airbus wings
Folks,
Do Boeing and Airbus have significantly different wing design philosophies?
To me, Airbus flaps seem to be smaller than their Boeing counterparts, and seem to extend less.
Boeings tend to have higher cruising speeds.
Are Airbus wings optimised for broader performance across a wider speed range (thus requiring less flap to land), with Boeing tending to choose a better high-speed design and fitting bigger flaps for low-speed control?
