IL 62s, TU 154s… pinacle of classics! 😀

Weren´t Tu-154-s delivered last year? Like Boeing 717-s?

Hi all.

The A320 has been around a while now, I am just surpried that Airbus have not developed it a little more, for example an ER version or extra fuel tanks.

Extra fuel tanks would be little use if the MTOW of the plane means payload must be left behind to carry the extra fuel. The ER version of A320 is the shrink, A319. And A319 does have extra fuel tank options – A319LR/A319CJ can add a lot of range while limiting payload and luggage volume.

Did the sidewall restrict the legroom in the A seat?

What about leaning against sidewall – did you tend to slip between setback and sidewall?

Some specifications:

Cabin width 323 cm – compare DC-9 313 cm, E-170 274 cm, B737 353 cm, Avro RJ 342 cm.

Wingspan 27,8 m – compare E-170 26 m, E-190 28,6 m, Boeing 717-200 28,4 m, DC-9-30 28,5 m, DC-9-10 27,2 m, Boeing 737-600 34,3 m, 737-500 28,9 m, 737-300 28,9 m.

One-class economy seating up to 103, advised 98 – compare Embraer 170 up to 80 seats, advised 78, Embraer 175 up to 88 seats, advised 86, Embraer 190 up to 114 seats, advised 106, Boeing 717 advised 117 seats, DC-9-32 maximum 127 seats, advised 115, DC-9-15 up to 90 seats, advised 90.

MTOW 42,2 t for basic range, 45,9 t for long range model – compare E-170 36 t STD model, 38,6 t AR model, E-175 37,5 t STD model, 40,4 t AR model, E-190 47,8 t STD model, 51,8 t AR model, Boeing 717 49,8 t basic gross weight, 54,9 t high gross weight, DC-9-32 49 t.

Takeoff runway requirement at MTOW: 1534 m basic range model, 1803 m long range model – compare Embraer 170 1644 m for AR model, Embraer 175 2244 m for AR model.

Landing runway requirement: 1400 m has been quoted – compare Embraer 170 1273 m for AR model.

Price US$ 27 millions – compare Embraer 170 US$ 31,5 millions.

A very practical and capable looking aircraft. However its going into a very crowded and competitive sector of the market with some big and well established names and types already in there,

In other words, Embraer E-jets and Bombardier Canadair Regional Jet. Correct?

How does Superjet 100-95 compare against Embraer 190?

I don’t have data right in front of me, but I believe LD-3 is the “standard” container for everything you name execept the B767. I’ll admit I don’t know about the I86 and A380 though.

LD-3 is something like 156 cm wide on floor and 201 cm wide on ceiling level – as well as 109 cm below ceiling (54 cm above floor). LD-1 is likewise 156 cm wide on floor, but 234 cm wide on ceiling level – and 76 cm below ceiling (86 cm above floor).

LD-1 is the standard for B747… what about A380?
