Abstract
In this article the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of the Airbus A380. Specifically, it discusses what major US airports are doing to prepare for the "super jumbo" airliner, the Airbus A380. The writer maintains that the Airbus A380 seems like a giant gamble to many. The writer notes that airports are readying their terminals, jet-ways, runways, and taxiways for the giant aircraft, but it remains to be seen how many people will actually want to fly on a plane that carries 853 passengers at its largest configuration. The writer concludes that it also remains to be seen if the money spent on airports and in development will ever pay back Airbus and the airports geared up to accept it.

From the Paper
"Airbus first began developing the plane in 1994, and scheduled the first deliveries for 2006, but the company has experienced difficulties in several design areas of the plane, from wiring to weight, and delivery times have been extended three times. The delays have cost Airbus orders for the plane, with several customers canceling or scaling back their orders because of the extended delays. Singapore Airlines is the first customer scheduled to receive delivery of planes in October 2007. Other future operators include Lufthansa, Quantas, and Virgin Atlantic. Even under this duress, Airbus is already planning a 1,023-seat triple-decker plane for future production. Clearly, this would create another construction and logistical problem with American airports."

Abstract
This paper discusses the potential impact that Airbus' new super-jumbo airliner, the A380, may have on the airline transportation industry.
From the Paper
The Airbus A380 basically represents the different view of the future in international air travel held by Airbus and Boeing. The Airbus A380 represents the first full tripe-decked super jumbo-jet as well as the first true competitor to the Boeing. Airbus critics have argued that neither airport runways and facilities or the aviation industry is ready for the jumbo airline whose biggest model will carry passengers in three classes. This analysis will discuss the impact this new breed of airliner will..."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The civilian aircraft industry, in spite of its sheer domination by only two major competitors, Boeing and Airbus, is a hugely competitive industry with billions of dollars at stake annually. Airbus alone experienced revenues in 2004/2005 of E22.3b while Boeing, for the same period, took in 55% of the total market value of passenger jet orders ("Airbus" pars.5-12). The increasingly open and fractured market across the European Union (EU) has also created a raft of opportunities for both these aircraft manufacturers to capitalize on. However, because of the market strategies that each aircraft manufacturer has taken, Boeing would seem to have an operating advantage in the short term within the EU although nationalistic tendencies may prevent Boeing from capitalizing on its advantage."

Abstract
The paper deals with the competitive advantage Airbus possesses in its market. It goes into detail on specific projects which helped make Airbus the juggernaut that it is today. In addition to discussing technology and growth opportunities, the paper also levels Airbus against its competitors.
From the Paper
"Airbus and Boeing are well aware that if they want to win this race for market domination, they will have to offer premium services to help China's aviation industry and to train China's pilots. Airbus took the initiative to provide these premium services by setting up their own parts distribution centers in Beijing to fill the needs of the Chinese commercial aviation fleet. Airbus is also making strategic moves to gain popularity by selling their planes in a manner that benefits more than just two parties. In reference to a $2.5 billion order for twenty eight Airbus jets for China, the French president commented that ?It's good for Europe. It's good for France. It's good for employment? With up to fifty percent of the new Airbus?s constructed in the United Kingdom, this order will help secure British jobs.? These types of tactics are helping Airbus to gain a competitive edge over Boeing not only in China but around the world, and to grow more stable as an international company."

" Compare and Contrast Boeing, and Airbus Industrie Design History,
and Philosophy on the Boeing 777, and the Airbus A-330/340
Over the next decade, there should be an increased worldwide demand for large transport aircraft. The two major competitors for this market are the Boeing Company in the United States and Europe's Airbus Industrie. Although the Boeing 777 and Airbus A330/A340 families bear certain similarities, they are actually very different aircraft.
Introduction:
During the last fifty years, the commercial-class aircraft manufacturing industry has evolved into an "oligopolistic production structure" characterized by "extremely high survival risk" and "intense competition" (Golich, 1992, pp.899-934). Two of the industry's major contenders presently include Boeing and.."

Abstract
An analysis of the competition between Europe and the United States for supremacy in the airline industry. The author details the history of Boeing, Airbus and McDonnell-Douglas since WWII, with special attention paid to the years since the mid-1960s when Europe entered the market. The successes and failures of the parties involved are discussed in detail, including the failure of the Concorde and the particular affect it had on the entire industry. American government involvement in keeping Boeing afloat during the last decade, by both the Clinton and Bush administrations, is also discussed in detail. The affect of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the airline industry, especially changes in the demand for new airplanes, is covered by the author.
From the Paper
"But it wasn?t just Boeing that Airbus had to contend with; in fact, both Boeing and Airbus had to directly compete against US-based McDonnell Douglas with production civilian aircraft orders; however, by 1996, the company was facing some financial trouble. Their MD-11 ?had failed to kickstart the company, and plans to build a new Jumbo?with Asian partners had come to nothing?.the company was down to just 5% of the world market? (Ibid, 226). So Boeing offered $13B to merge the two US airline manufacturers, which ?had the backing of the White House?[creating] the kind of national champion the Clinton Administration had wanted to encourage?.instead of having to juggle its attention?it could devote its energies supporting the enlarged Boeing? (Ibid, 226-227). In fact, the Clinton Administration overtly lobbied for customers toward its aerospace manufacturers, which is reason they never sought any anti-trust action against the merger; mainly, McDonnell Douglas at the time of the merger was more vested in the military aerospace applications, an area Boeing was never dominant."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Companies which operate outside of monopolistic environments are faced with the decision whether to compete or collaborate with other companies within their industry. Strict competition can make the successful companies stronger as they develop technologies and procedures that edge out the competition. Collaboration can make the collaborative partners stronger when considered against the industry as a whole, although the individual partners may be individually weaker as a result of the collaboration.
The airplane manufacturing industry is one international industry where competitive and collaborative strategies have been pursued, particularly since World War II. This industry is characterized by high-technology, high-costs and high-risk, and.."

Abstract
This paper examines how software defects, design errors and other computer-related glitches lie at the heart of problems that can cause either serious injury or death and how investigation of software errors and computer system defects is a major preoccupation and serious business. It focuses on the myriad of conditions implicated by such failures in software. Included in this discussion are the Airbus A320 crash, the Therac-25 case and a number of power plant miscarriages that have led to radiation leakages.

Conclusion and Recommendations
From the Paper
"The question of how the pilots initially got into this unenviable position brought renewed attention to the A320's "glass cockpit." In lieu of the circular-dial instruments and toggle switches found in the cockpits of older planes, pilots flying the A320 face a large display of computer screens for monitoring the airplane and keyboards for typing in commands and making choices. In lieu of dealing with separate gauges and dials for speed, rate of climb, and altitude, they view the essential information bundled up in compact fashion on their screens. Yet such a system also makes it a challenge for pilots to monitor long-term trends in airspeed and other flight parameters, so they must rely on automatic alerts or warnings to tell them about significant changes in the plane's status."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Boeing, McDonald Douglas, Airbus, and Lockheed Martin, the present aircraft manufacturing industry major players, ensure that quality assurance is performed at each and every stage of the manufacturing process because the implication and cost of not doing so are enormous. The author points out that quality assurance is an important part of manufacturing spare parts for older planes and components for new airplanes. The paper relates that understanding variance and methods to control variance has helped the aerospace industry maintain high quality standards.
From the Paper
"Quality-assurance issues made companies realize that they constantly had to improve the system in order to remain competitive and focus on their customer?s needs. This requires long-term commitment from the organization?s leaders. Manufacturers are increasingly relying on software solutions to manage and track their quality performance. Hamilton Sundstrand a supplier to Boeing was able to streamline and understand its processes using state of the art software and knowledgeable and trained workers. Understanding the importance of continuous improvement in the quality of the product can help organizations ensure that they will retain their market position and customer loyalty. Creating constancy of purpose towards improvement, strategy planning based on long-term goals of the organization can help focus the management?s attention on quality issues. IAQG is also hoping that by identifying and conveying the best practices followed by industry leaders the industry as a whole can benefit."

Abstract
Over the last decades we have seen airlines come and go, with the commercial aircraft industry whittled down to an industry dominated by two manufacturers: The Boeing Commercial Aircraft Company and Airbus Industries. Several commercial aircraft companies have fallen by the wayside, with Douglas, McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed to name a few. This paper examines some of the aspects of the development of the Boeing 777. It begins with with the environment, changes in Boeing's design process, technology, testing, expected demand, cost and, finally, why the Boeing 777 is considered the best in the industry.
From the Paper
"One of Boeing's cornerstone goals for the 777, "Day One Service Readiness", was accomplished by conducting extensive testing and integration throughout the program. To do this, Boeing created an Integrated Aircraft Systems Laboratory to integrate and test all of the avionics systems. This testing was useful in moving development work forward to allow early Extended Twin-engine Operations (ETOPS) certification."
