Should Airbus proceed with the new model?Yes. The A3XX will constitute a new family of bigger and better aircraft with a high degree of common operational characteristics‚ particularly in the cockpit design‚ in accordance with Airbus’s philosophy. For the first time‚ the airline companies will be able to provide much more room than has ever been available. Passengers will be more comfortable and the operating costs will be between 12 and 20% lower than those of the current B-747. The A3XX is the

The Airbus A380 project is one of the most complex projects to ever happen. An aircraft of such large size and complexity would always have problems. Although problems are always anticipated during such a large project‚ the management involved with this project mismanaged many aspects. The project’s success can be examined using many project management aspects. This report will analyse in particular the areas of project scheduling‚ stakeholder management and project leadership within the A380 project

Report on Designs of Airbus A380 Airbus A380 is commonly known as the jumbo aircraft as its capacity is up to 850 persons which weight almost 560 tons. As the maximum length of wingspan which is internationally recognize and can accommodate in most international airport is 80m‚ so A380 need to gain maximum lift with a length limit of only 80m. In order to overcome this limitation‚ the engineers observed the wings of eagle for some time and they found out that the end of the wing is folded slightly

The A380 Project The A380 project was launched in December 2000 as the world’s largest commercial aircraft the Airbus A380 is a feat of engineering. It was meant to open up a new segment by addressing the changing market needs‚ congestion at the hub airports being one. With the environment having gained a profile‚ the A380 was designed with low emissions and low noise. The project took five years of preparatory development and testing that cost over US$600 million. The development cost was projected

In the Airbus case we are faced with a capital budgeting decision. It is the planning process used to determine whether a firm’s long term investments such as new machinery‚ replacement machinery‚ new plants‚ new products‚ and research development projects are worth pursuing. It is budget for major capital‚ or investment‚ expenditures. Capital budgeting decisions are crucial to a firm’s success for several reasons. First‚ capital expenditures typically require large outlays of funds. Second‚ firms

could pose as a strategic opportunity for Airbus which it could utilize to build a competitive advantage combined with its technological resources and capabilities. However‚ its assumptions of a drastic increase in VLAs demanded in next 20 years along with its ability to satisfy most of this are too optimistic. Provided that these assumptions (inc. breakeven points‚ initial order requirements) are normalized‚ A3XX is a project worthy to pursue for Airbus in order to exploit a neglected spot on the

there are concerns of high surge in fuel costs. The two market leaders Boeing and Airbus are gearing up to achieve greater market share by aggressive marketing and product innovations. As the market is duopolistic in nature‚ the rivalry between the two market leaders is on the rise‚ in their quest to attain leadership in the markets. An attempt is made here to perform a detailed analysis of key strengths of Airbus industry and recommend various strategic measures in order to overcome their problems

Case Study: Airbus A3XX 1. Airbus considers building the A3XX a great opportunity to help the company enters VLA market‚ in order to increase competitive ability and make profits. There are three main perspectives to support this project: (1). A3XXX is the solution to meet increasing demand; As for increasing the according carrying capacity‚ Airbus believes that it is more realistic to develop “Very Large Aircraft” rather than to increase aircrafts frequency or to enlarge airport size.
