Is Airbus easier to fly than Boeing?
Boeing aircraft are more manoeuvrable due to a combination of their weight, size and shape. However if you mean from the pilots perspective and the force required to manoeuvre the aircraft, airbus would be easier due to the joystick and fly-by-wire system.
Is Boeing 737 900er the same as 737 MAX?
The 737 MAX aircraft are not the same as the older 737-700, 737-800 and 737-900 variants. The new LEAP engines help the MAX aircraft deliver huge fuel savings over the previous models, with a 10 to 12 percent increase in fuel efficiency.
Do pilots like Boeing or Airbus?
Absolutely. Airbus and Boeing have different control systems, and most pilots strongly prefer one over the other. (The Explainer isn’t aware of a poll, and so has no way of knowing which manufacturer pilots favor overall.) Modern Airbus planes employ a “fly-by-wire” system.
Is Airbus better or Boeing?
Airbus has had fly-by-wire longer, but Boeing has been around longer. The 777 has more powerful engines, but the A380 has twice as many. The A320 variants generally have a better range than their 737 counterparts, but the 737-800 beats the A320-200 on MTOW.
What is the difference between the 737 Next Generation and Max?
There was then a 7\% improvement with the Next Generation series and a 14\% improvement between the Next Generation and 737 MAX series. The 737 MAX is a much more efficient aircraft and cost-effective for airlines.
What are the different variants of the Boeing 737?
For variants of this aircraft, see Boeing 737 Classic, Boeing 737 Next Generation, and Boeing 737 MAX. The Boeing 737 is a narrow-body airliner produced by Boeing at its Renton Factory in Washington .
How has the Boeing 737 family changed over the years?
The latest 737 MAX aircraft is a very different aircraft from the early Original and Classic series. As technology and airline expectations have changed, so has the 737 family, keeping it in the top spot for most successful narrowbody aircraft to date.

What is the safest Boeing 737 to fly?
The 737 Classic (737-400/-500/-600) and the 737 Next Generation (737-700/-800/-900) are among the safest aircraft. Boeing saw the commercial success of the 737 Original line but also its failure. Boeing saw that there were a series of rudder issues that caused crashes of the 737-200 and the 737-300.
