There are inconsistencies between Airbus and Boeing and indeed within each companies own records. I'm keeping records for both the individual model ( which Boeing calls Series ? ) and for the family ( which Boeing calls Model ). If you go by just the model number, you have 1544 B777, 1537 B747 and 1313 A330 for the top three. But the first two span over multiple generations and if you consider the technical aspects, the only major similarities between those generations are the fuselage width, nose and tail. Everything else, the engines, flight deck, the wings, the fuse lengths are different. Applying the same criteria to the Airbus widebodies, the A330 is actually a next generation A300/A310. So Roger Béteille's 222-in fuselage becomes the best-selling widebody and the first to break the 2000 mark with a total of 2129 for the twins. Then, the A340? Do you consider it a part of the A330 family despite the 2 extra engines like Airbus themselves say. The 737 and 707 have similar fuselage widths and nose shape, but the former is a twin and the latter is a quad. Going by Boeing's system, A300/A310/A330 have to be lumped into one family and while the A340 is kept separate. Welcome back to the forum, Baroque ! Thanks philidor. Looks like you moved ahead of me to outfitting, while I mothballed myself away for the past few months...  I think the success of the A300 and all its derivatives ( yes I do include the A340 ) is amazing. I think it will be 40 years this May since the A300 entered service. And total sales exceed 2500. Quite staggering that there is talk of a re-engined A330 being introduced in 2018 that will be competitive with the new technology 787 and A350. Well done Airbus. Geoff |

Widebody Doubledecker.xls (33 KB) End of February figures now available from Airbus and Boeing. Spreadsheet attached showing latest O&D position. Widebody deliveries still slow with the 787 well short of reaching the planned 10 per month. Could be a close 3 horse race between A330, 777 and 787 for most deliveries this year ( the 787 will 'win' in 2015 ). Just one widebody order from Boeing this month 1 x 747-8F. The very welcome but controversial Amedeo order for A380s has been booked as has the Kuwaiti order for 10 x A350-900. There also seems to have been a conversion of 1 frame from A330F to A330-200. In terms of number of aircraft, Airbus continues to narrow the orderbook gap on Boeing and now has 48% 'share'. We can expect this to change soon as there are massive 777X and A330 orders in the pipeline. The A350-900 has now climbed to 3rd equal in the best selling model charts. Of course the figures can go down with conversions and cancellations, in early 2010 the 787-8 was 'top' with around 670 ( I don't have the exact figures ) and is now below 500. Regards, Geoff

End of March ( quarter end ) figures available from both Airbus and Boeing. Revised spreadsheet attached. Not much happened on the Boeing front ( despite another announcement, ANA this time ). The 788 is down another one and the 789 up one so there may have been a single frame conversion. A mixture of orders and cancellations from Airbus with the A330 still adding to net sales. The A330-300 now over 700 total delveries plus orderbook. With 12 cancellations the A350-800 is now down to just 34. Widebody Doubledecker.xls (33 KB) Geoff |

Looking at Boeing's unfilled order report for the end of April and see the 787-8 total sales are down 8 and the 787-9 is up 8. Anyone know who has done the conversion ?

I now count 49 787-9 orders for ILFC instead of 41.
