	Wide-body aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is because wide-body aircraft (and one narrow-body aircraft, the Boeing 757) tend to leave wake vortices as they travel, making the area immediately behind unsafe for smaller aircraft.
		The first wide-body aircraft was the four-engined Boeing 747 which debuted in 1969 and currently the largest in passenger service, however the Airbus A380 will be larger, when it enters service in 2006.
		A wide-body aircraft is a large airliner with a fuselage diameter of about 5 to 6 metres and twin aisles.

	ch13-5
		Actually, the ratio of wetted area to wing area for wide- and narrow-body aircraft of the same passenger capacity and wing loading may not be greatly different because of the shorter length of the wide-body aircraft.
		The use of the term "wide body" in describing these aircraft is derived from the interior arrangement of the passenger cabin.
		The particular seating arrangement utilized is dictated by the airline using, the aircraft and is based on the passenger density anticipated on the various routes served by the aircraft.

	Boeing reveals orders old and new - Dec. 15, 1999
		The 20 wide body aircraft announced Wednesday were for G.E. Capital Aviation Services, the world's largest lessor and a division of General Electric Co. (GE), which is buying 15 of the 767-300 extended range aircraft and five 747-400 freighters.
		NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Boeing Co. announced an order for 20 wide-body aircraft worth $2.6 billion, and revealed more than $9 billion in previously unannounced orders Wednesday as the world's leading aircraft manufacturer tried to deflect talk it is losing market share to Airbus Industrie.
		But Boeing (BA) still has a better than two-to-one lead in deliveries of new aircraft this year with a record 620 aircraft, or about 68 percent of the market, compared with 290-295 deliveries expected by Airbus.

	Who Is Pulling the Strings on the Price of Oil
		As in the pattern of Exhibit 3, the wide-body family of aircraft underwent successively the stages of: two short life cycles, one long, and again a number of short ones.
		Wide-body aircraft can be seen as a family with about a dozen members, each having its own life cycle.
		In the future, we should expect little—if any—growth in the annual passenger-mile totals of wide-body aircraft.

	KLM Passenger Forum - Northwest Unveils New Airbus A330 Wide-Body Aircraft
		The exterior and interior of aircraft number N3302, a —300 model of the A330 in Northwest’s new livery, was shown to members of the media at the airline’s wide-body hangar in Detroit.

	Wide-body Diversion
		In this section on wide-body aircraft, it is assumed that all of the flights are international, with a range of 200 to 400 seats.
		The biggest difference in assessing costs between the two aircraft types is that the standard deviation for wide bodies is much larger than that for narrow bodies, due to the fact that wide bodies can seat anywhere from 200 people to 400 people.
		We used the same hotel, meal and calling card cost rate estimates for wide bodies as for narrow-body diverted flights.

	GE - Aviation: Lan Chile Selects GE Engine For Wide-Body Aircraft
		ETOPS is defined as the number of minutes from a suitable airport a twin-engine aircraft can fly in the event one engine becomes inoperable.
		The CF6-80C2 engine, produced by GE Aircraft Engines, has accumulated approximately 35 million flight hours, with a dispatch reliability rate of 99.94 percent.
		This approval provides far greater route scheduling flexibility by enabling airlines to operate twin-engine aircraft on routes formerly reserved for three- and four-engine aircraft.

		A portion of this tube will be converted into a mock-up of a fuselage of a wide-body aircraft.
		SOCORRO -- New Mexico Tech's Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center (EMRTC) was awarded a $1.2 million contract by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to begin developing a facility where researchers can study and analyze various effects and aspects of explosions which may occur in wide-body aircraft.
		"Inside that simulated fuselage, we'll be able to put in flight-weight components which are representative of what would normally be inside a commercial aircraft," Romero says.

	Airbus versus Boeing Revisited: International Competition in the Aircraft Market
		We also simulate the impact of the future entry of the Airbus A-380 super-jumbo aircraft on the demand for other wide-bodied aircraft, notably the Boeing 747.
		We find that the A-380 could reduce the market share of the 747 by up to 14 percent in the long range wide-body market segment (depending upon the discounts offered on the A-380), but would reduce the market for Airbus's existing wide-bodies by an even greater margin.
		Our results suggest that the aircraft prices increased by about 3 percent after the 1992 U.S. agreement on trade in civil aircraft that limits subsidies.

		Clive Medland, SHandE Senior Vice President and head of the firm’s Asset Management Practice, stated at Morgan Stanley EETC and Airline Debt Conference in New York recently that the economic life expectations used for financings for both narrow and wide body aircraft have most likely been too optimistic, even in less distressed economic environments.
		“We should be thinking of an economic life of no more than 25 years for all wide-body passenger aircraft.” Medland went on to explain that it appears that most aircraft experience competitive pressure from aircraft more technologically advanced within ten years of entering service.
		Members of the practice also frequently provided expert witness testimony concerning both maintenance practices and tangible asset valuation of aircraft, facilities, ground equipment, and spare parts.
