Development history
1967 In September, the governments of Britain, France and Germany signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to start the research and development of Airbus A300. This is the second major joint aircraft development plan in Europe after Concorde.
Although Airbus has competing models with Boeing in other models, it has been a blank in the market of large-scale long-range civil transport aircraft. Although the Airbus A340 has been launched, it still cannot shake the absolute dominant position of Boeing 747.
Airbus develops 500-800 large civil aviation transport planes, aiming to seize the large passenger aircraft market dominated by Boeing 747. Airbus put forward the inference of future civil aviation development: the development of world civil aviation transport aircraft will continue to be large-scale, and based on this, it put forward the concept of "hub/radiation".
That is, passengers gather at the hub airport through regional flights, then are transported to another hub airport by large transport planes, and finally arrive at their destinations by regional flights. Airbus believes that in the 2 1 century, the best way to improve air traffic congestion is to increase capacity.
Airbus's launch of the super-large transport aircraft project has caused many people's concerns. Airbus believes that the market prospect of large passenger aircraft is very optimistic. At the same time, it is worthwhile to take huge commercial risks in order to improve Airbus's passenger aircraft series and occupy a more favorable position to compete with Boeing.
