ذكرت تقارير جديدة بأن ايرباص ستتنافس بوينغ 787-1000 الجديدة بطائرتها المطورة المستقبلية ذات الشعبية الكبيرة
A330-300s و التي ستزود بشاركلتس مثل الآي 320 و بميزات جديدة أيضاً
NEW A330-300S
(S for planned improved version with sharklets and more, my addition* )
https://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-...son-a330-.html
According to the French business magazine La Tribune the Airbus enhancements plans for the 330 is only focusing on the A330-300, not the -200! It seems the planning is now more concrete, A has actively confirmed to the magazine that they want to add 400nm to the range by increasing MTOW to 240t + adding sharklets for the A330-300 only. They will also invest to try and keep the OEW to todays values by changing the portions of the airframe which were common between A340 and A330 to 330 parts only now that the 340 is out of the price-list. In this process they can save weight to compensate for the reinforcements to add the sharklets and increase the MTOW.
A330-300S FOR KILLING THE 787-10X
The article think the 300S is to replace the A340-300 and to compensate for delays to the 350-900 and -800. I don't think this is the primary aim, after the successful forcing of Boeing's hand with the A320neo this is the next brainchild of JL and now he wants to stop the 787-10X before its birth, he does not want the Airliners to catch on to the variant. A 6100nm A333 with an MSP of 51t will come pretty close to a projected 787-10X with a projected MSP of 54t (my estimate) and a spec range of 6850nm (B figure).
According to my back of the envelope sheet the 787-10X would burn 5.6t/hour and the 300S would reduce the 333 fuel burn of 6t/hr a bit by virtue of the new sharklets and perhaps another PIP from RR (don't be surprised to see RR announce this in the next months IMO ** ). This is why they go to the bother of keeping the OEW at today's value, every kg the 300S has on the 10X will count in the argumentation.
If one compares the 787-10X with the 300S one can clearly seeing the killing pitch:
- available and you get what you see (for sure)
- lighter and therefore very competitive on the frequent midrange hops (under 10 hours)
- commonality with today's frame and therefore plenty of competition for the MX
- pilot and fleet commonality with today's range of Airbuses, not the least the 330

NOT FOCUSING LAUNCHED PROGRAMS
By not improving the A320-200 A is basically saying they don't go after frames which are launched (789) or in production with this move (788), it is all about influencing
