EADS N.V. - UK Government Announces Preference for the Airbus A330-200 as its Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft As a consequence of those successes, Airbus is proud of its contribution to EADS’s backlog in the military market “ said Noël Forgeard, Airbus President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are convinced that Airbus aircraft can satisfy the need of many of the world’s air forces and will eventually become the market reference in the military transport field, just as Airbus aircraft are already the reference for commercial airlines,” he added. The announcement in favour of the A330-200 for the RAF through a private finance initiative (PEI) is a strong acknowledgement of the aircraft’s potential to generate third party revenue. www.eads.com /web/printout/en/1024/content/400004/0/38/41143380.html/40986043_40986050/content/OF00000040950509/2/61/41044612.html   (539 words)

Airbus A330 Information Airbus intended the A330 to compete directly in the ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operation Performance Standards) market, which was established by the Boeing 767. The A330 basic fuselage design is inherited from the Airbus A300, as is the nose/cockpit section and the fly-by-wire system and flightdeck from the Airbus A320. The A330 MRTT is also in the running to land a contract from the United States Air Force for perhaps up to 200 tankers to replace aging KC-135 and KC-10 aircraft. www.bookrags.com /wiki/Airbus_A330   (970 words)

Airbus A330-200   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Airbus of course pioneered the market a quarter century ago with the original A300, a then high capacity twinjet that in its launch version had a range of barely 1890nm (3500km) and was optimised specifically for the transcontinental market. Airbus now hopes to change that with its new A330-200, a twinjet that not only offers the traditional Airbus benefits of a wider cabin and extra freight capacity but significantly increased range performance over either the 767-300ER or the directly competing 767-400ER. The major positives that Airbus promotes over its competitor are the larger, wider cabin, greater freight capacity, particularly using industry standard LD3 containers rather than the special purpose LD2s which are exclusive to the 767, and greater range with lower seat costs. www.ausaviation.com.au /backgrounders/backgrounder9.html   (1575 words)

Aerospaceweb.org | Aircraft Museum - Airbus A330 Airbus launched both the A330 and A340 projects following several years of design studies investigating high-capacity, long-range aircraft. In keeping with the many advancements made by earlier Airbus products, the A330 and A340 set precedents of their own by becoming the first commercial aircraft to be designed entirely by computer-aided design (CAD) software. Airbus has also partnered with the American defense contractor Northrop Grumman hoping to sell a version of the MRTT called the KC-30 to the US Air Force. aerospaceweb.org /aircraft/jetliner/a330   (456 words)

Skycontrol.net: Airbus A330-200 freighter recieves industrial go-ahead Airbus was given the go-ahead from the Board of Directors of its parent company EADS for the industrial launch of its wide-body A330-200 Freighter aircraft, for which it has already received 26 commitments from two customers. Airbus President and CEO, and co-CEO of EADS Louis Gallois welcomed the industrial launch of the A330 freighter: ”With the A330-200F, Airbus is well placed to satisfy a large percentage of the market demand by offering superior main- and lower-deck hold flexibility than the competition, while providing more range and 21 per cent more lift. As for all other Airbus aircraft currently in production, the A330-200F will also benefit from full operational commonality unique to Airbus thanks to the now well recognised Airbus Fly-By-Wire technology which also enables faster pilot transitioning to and from other Airbus aircraft, both passenger and freighter. www.skycontrol.net /business-general-aviation/airbus-a330-200-freighter-recieves-industrial-go-ahead   (450 words)
