Airbus vs Boeing

Today there is a big controversy between both but lets see this analysis.

Airbus and Boeing have different control systems, and most pilots strongly prefer one over the other. (The Explainer isn't aware of a poll, and so has no way of knowing which manufacturer pilots favor overall.) Modern Airbus planes employ a "fly-by-wire" system. The pilot controls the plane by manipulating a joystick next to the main console and a set of pedals. The movement of the joystick and pedals is translated into electrical signals, which switch on and off machines that move the plane's flaps, slats, ailerons, and rudder. Most Boeing jets don't have a joystick, but a more traditional yoke. (The 777 is Boeing's first fly-by-wire plane.) When a pilot yanks back on the yoke, he's actually pulling cables that move the plane's control surfaces with the help of some hydraulic systems. In short, there's less electronic mediation between the pilot and the machinery in a Boeing aircraft. Some pilots think this gives them a better "feel" in flying the plane, while others prefer the video-gamelike quality of the electronic interface.
Airbus also places more restrictions on how far the pilot is able to push the aircraft. All planes, no matter the manufacturer, must fly within certain limits, known as the "flight envelope," or risk mechanical failure.   For example, if a pilot attempts too steep a climb, the wings may stall* Airbus aircrafts won't allow that to happen because they are programmed to ignore the pilot's instructions if the plane's computers think they would lead to catastrophe. The system is called "flight envelope protection," and the pilot has a limited ability to override it by changing its default limits.

In the last years airbus have encase it demands that means that airlines are prefering the new airbus aircrafts as the A320 neo, the A380-800 or the A350 XBS; but why, just because they are more efficient.

Boeing announced the 787 that it is the most efficient aircraft but that's just referring to the engine and the fuel we also have to take into account that airbus wins all the others categories as the maintenance or the security.

I think that airbus will win in this battle, also I want to expose my preference to airbus just because their planes are better and they are innovating always.


Both are excellent its's just with one you prefer.
