7 injured as turbulence hits Qantas A380 flight

Are Airbus aircraft more vulnerable and susceptible to turbulence than Boeing aircraft?

7 injured as turbulence hits Qantas A380 flight

I've done the KUL/DXB run many times on both B777 and A330, and I can tell you that from an SLF point of view the B777 provides a much smoother ride.

Could it be that the B777 is a better aerodynamic design than the A330, or is there some other reason for this anomaly?

I would just like to understand why I am constanly shaken around in the front-end of the A330, but experience a much smoother ride when travelling the very same route in the front-end of the B777?

Any ideas on this?
