Really/ full of holes?
So provide me with the QF basic wt, MZFW MTOW, projected fuel burn and lets dance.
My figures are pretty close and you know it.
The figures for the 777 are about 99.9% accurate. I have provided actual current weights from my manuals and checked the last 10 HKG JFK flight plans to average the fuel burn on a 15 hr flight. ( 8.1 tonnes/hr )
the 380 figures are from a guy that flies the 380 in EK, they may be a little skew wiff but I have asked for more accurate data. Based on his MZFW and DOW the 380 can lift about 66 tonnes of payload ( 366-300 ) and the 777 can lift 51.5 tonnes of payload. ( 223.5-172 ) on a 15 hr trip.
so....1 A380: 66 tonnes equates to roughly 450 pax and 21 tonnes cargo
2 777-300ER's: 103 tonnes equates to 602 pax and 43 tonnes cargo.
The 380 will use about 245,859 lt's of Jet A1----------546 lt/pax
The 2 777's will use about 305,732 lt's of Jet A1-------507 lt/pax
Like I said, it all comes down to 1/
cargo revenue, 2/
overflight and landing charges and 3/ crew cost.
It's interesting to crunch the numbers and maybe the cost of 2 777's far out weigh the benefit of better payload and lower fuel burn? Don't know. I do know QF aren't stupid and neither is CX.
Horses for courses as someone alluded to earlier.
So you tell me....................instead of rubbishing my research come up with figures of you own and tell me which is better?
