737 outsells the A320 series; 777 outsells the A340; 787 is doing well vs A350; 748 is beating the A380, probably for infrastructure reasons.
Barit1, I'll go along with all of the above stats but one. EDIT - not too sure about the 748/A380 - last I've heard the A380 has all the PAX model orders thus far..........
The A320 beat the 737 in sales this year by a good margin. It is a great aircraft and the airlines seem to love 'em.
With 2600
of the baby Buses running so far, it'll take a while to hit the mark that Boeing set with the 737 of 5000 airframes and counting. The worldwide fleet of Airbus aircraft has recently reached a grand total of 4200. Not too shabby for the youngest commercial airframer in the league, eh ?
While we're being hypothetical, what about a joint effort on a hypersonic aircraft ?
The A7S7 ? - -
