  • The next few years should be interesting when it comes to the new widebody freighters being offered by the two big planemakers. In the summer of 2021, Airbus announced the launch of its A350 freighter program (A350F). Likely having developed the idea for a few months, Boeing responded by announcing the launch of a 777X freighter program at the end of January 2022.
    With lower demand among customers for freighters when compared to their passenger equivalents, the market has been, and will continue to be competitive. So which next-generation widebody freighter is the better choice? Let's try to answer this question in today’s video!

    Well it all depends on how much longer it'll take for the 777-9 to even be certified. Right now they don't even have the passenger version close to being in service so 2027 is still very subject to further delays. Not to mention they still have yet to build an 8 of any version. Who knows...any more issues with the 9 will further push back the 8 and the F.
    The a350f is based on a tried and certified airframe so it will be much more easier to certify the cargo version.

    The important thing: Airbus could have the A350F prototype ready for flight possibly by late 2024, probably using parts from the A350-1000 already in commercial service. Given that a large number of MD-11F freighters will need retirement by 2030, I expect serious consideration by both FedEx and UPS to buy the A350F.

Say if Fedex already operates 773F, they are more likely to use the 778F for replacements than going to a351f

    Boeing continues to build and deliver the 777F. Combined with the conversion market for the 777-300ER into freighters which will be significant as over 800 of 777-300ERs transition out of passenger service as they are replaced by 787’s, a350’s and 777-9.
    A350f may be delivered before the 778F but the shear numbers
    of 777 freighters already delivered, to be delivered and conversions has firmly established the 777 as the dominant cargo aircraft.

      The biggest obstacle faced with composites is that it doesn't dent like aluminium. If you hit a composite airframe a slap of stairs or something it'll pop back out and look no different but if you radiograph it then it'll probably show up cavities or coin tap it and it'll be hollow. Aluminium if you did the same thing would just dent and then you can determine pretty easily if it's possible to dispatch or not with a DTI and an amm probably chapter 53(srm, fuse). With that said you can patch repair carbon, it's a bit fiddly with sandwich plate in places. The alternative is boron plating but it's really expensive stuff. I reckon ramp guys are just gonna have to be a bit more mindful and let's be honest non cargo ramp staff aren't going to be any less rough than freight staff. They've held up pretty good so far 🙂

    From a loadmaster point of view , I find is slightly hard to believe the height of the cargo door on the a350. The fuselage contour is very similar to 777, and with the 747 being a larger aircraft, it only has a max door height of 123 inches and max cargo height of 121 inches. If I have to assume , the a350 door height shall be in the 120-123 inch height. However the 165 inch wide door will be wonders for oversized cargo as there are going to be less 747 operating in future. So if we lose cargo loading through the nose , at least the a350 has a wider door to offer oversized solutions.

    • @ormuzoryon
      @ormuzoryon Před rokem +1

      Having the capacity to carry more doesn't mean that you can carry more or need to carry more.
      A very important metric is packing density. If your packing density on a missions exceeds certain limits, you can't carry a full Payload. In fact the bigger the aircraft, the most likely that it will be carrying a lot of dead weight without achieving full Payload.
      Packing density is also intrinsically asdociated with centre of gravity and beams strength. The A350F is based on the A350-1000 but its a few frames shorter precisely because designers aimed at optimising the packing density.
      Where the 777-8F can have an edge. Say, it could carry loads eay more e-commerce cardboard parcel than the A350F.
      I frankly think prospect operators will be looking at EIS. As it has been mentioned before in this post, the 777-8F is subject to certification of the 777-8 which in turn, is subject to 777-9, whose entry-into-service EIS is still facing many barriers.
      I can say, though, that the 777-8F will be a massive, magnificent beast for us spotters

      @Marlon Mejia Exactly, I used to work for a company that made kitchen units, both pre-assembled and flat-packed.
      You soon exceeded the maximum vehicle weight with the flat-packed units, so much so that most of the container was empty, wheras with the ready assembled units, the challenge was to arrange them so that a few more cabinets could be squeezed in (3D Tetris!) because overloading was impossible - far too much air!
      Likewise, thanks to the standard sizes of the units, there was always that bit of space that could never be used. Be it down the side or on top. The container could have been a little smaller but could have carried the exact same cargo, or conversely, I am sure that thanks to standard sized cargo, in some situations even a few more mm could result in tens of cm of additional usable space.

      Both A/C stated ranges are ~a joke as freighter business will always state their range as the Anchorage to HK distance which is IDENTICAL to the distance Boeing uses... as this is the maximum length freighter route. Yes, 778 most likely will have greater range... why Airbus decided to nickle and dime their stated range as 300nm further I have no idea, but just to look better on paper is most likely. The LIMITING FACTOR is load alleviation for 2G wind up turn in said fuselage... and here I have to question Airbus and their claims for tonnage, and if said alleviation is allowed, then Boeing more than likely is waiting to see if that is allowed and to just turn its 779 into an F version and apply for load alleviation as well if they have not done so already as this load alleviation more than likely is why 777X got larger to begin with as 2G wind up turn load alleviation is what allowed the a350 to be so much lighter and not its composite fuselage. Composits save weight in the wing abut deflect too much for rear fuselage loads... until the load alleviation allowed by EASA to a350 dropping 10t --> 20t out of the fuselage on a350

      The Key number is allowable pallet weight distribution and number of pallets. A35F has 5 more pallets than 77F but requires lower cargo density with ~same tonnage. 25% of cargo routes are volume limited so A35F will win those routes for sure or 77W conversions will win those routes. If 7XF numbers are to believed(no reason we shouldn't as its the same fuselage but hasn't been designed yet) it carries 7 more pallets than 77F without lower cargo density. All 3 have a "bulk" cargo area which is not counted and is an "unknown" weight so... ignore it. Now what is the actual fuel burn between the 2 newcomers... who knows. Which is the main component effecting MTOW where the major component is allowable LANDING weight. The RANGE of both is identical as there is no cargo route over 4500nm and ALL of these aircraft already have the fuel tank capacity for much greater range.

      @nathd1748 Před rokem

      @w8stral What's not right about them? I work at Airbus Broughton. I have figures at hand daily. The 1st wings are being produced imminently. The difference in OEW between the A350-1000 and 777-9 is 26 TONNES. The A350F is expected to come in at a further 30 TONNES lighter than the A350-1000. The spec has been revised for cargo tonnage at 111T against 116T for the proposed 777-8F. Although Boeing have not released OEW figures for the 8F I'll bet my last dollar it has an OEW approaching 30T heavier than the Airbus. We are working on revised spec of a 321T MTOW for the A350-1000 and it will apply to the A350F. Whether each aircraft will need to be certified as a 321T MTOW will depend on what individual operators want and the length of the sectors they operate. I do think you are wrong on your given maximum cargo route length. There are cargo operators doing direct China-UK flights that are 4600nm. The given range of the A350F is 4800nm.

So no, there are no routes of 4800nm from China to the UK. There is no major cargo route with a length greater than 4400nm anywhere in the world. You are screwing up miles and nautical miles. UPS has a couple ODD routes using LIGHT weight volume limited cargo so FDX and DHL will have them too but here said aircraft already have said range as they are not limited by tonnage, but rather volume.
      As for range, this is pure BS, as we already know Airbus is quoting a lower cargo density so they would be FAR better off increasing tonnage limit instead of carrying 400nm more fuel which is useless without a single Cargo route greater than 4400nm. Airbus needs to increase strength of their fuselage. But that gets into the 2G wind up turn load alleviation certification EASA gave to a350 biting them in the ass would be my guess. We know this is true as the 778F is proposed to have Identical length as a350F, yet carry 2 more main cargo pallets all at standard maximum density.
      As for tonnages... You are pulling #'s out of your ass as NEITHER the a35F, 779 or 77F have even been produced and no one knows the FUEL burn... it is all estimates at best so only supposed numbers someone can use is what Boeing/Airbus have provided on their home web pages. The only guess we have is the knowledge both the landing gears of old 777 is reused for 77X and a351 landing gear is being used on a35F.

    What's fascinating about the A340 is how cheap it is! Thai Airways sold of five A340s in late 2022 for THB 350 million, which translates into around USD 2 million a pop. That's less than 1% of the sticker price of a new 787 or A350. I would love to see the numbers on how an A340 really stacks up economically compared to e.g. a new A350 in terms of total profit (including depreciation!). If Lufthansa/Swiss have them in their books for only 2-3 million, then gosh, I would expect them to still be profitable (and certainly capital efficient compared to new aircraft), even if the fuel costs per seat are poor. I would love to see numbers on this!

    The 777-8F will be able to carry more cargo, so I think that alone is a far more attractive offer to cargo carriers than a larger cargo door on the A350F or their “expectations” that the aircraft will be delivered sooner. Freight companies don’t care about fuel mileage, they care about how much cargo they can put on their planes because freight prices are through the roof at the moment.

NASA sofia 747 now that was a big door. 😂 Want to see both fly. The Boeing planes stuck in certification were started with one certification system and have to finish under another. Arguably not totally unlike getting certified twice. With luck new planes will not take as long.

You will go at most a medium like the a33F, but I missed a couple massive qualifiers with my statement. if you need the range is #1 and #2 Majority of small freighters companies do not need the range of the a33F, and would rather go with a MUCH cheaper, numerous old 737 or a321 conversion. So, if you had stated what I just stated you would have squashed my statement and in fact is the BIGGEST reason a33F is not selling worth a damn and why Boeing has never hinted at a 787F. Maybe if Boeing ever makes the 783 with smaller wings fitting into existing infrastrucutre and applies 2G wind up turn load alleviation to their fuselage like the a350 was granted by EASA which they refused to do for the 787 pissing Boeing off which ultimatly in my opinion led to the Bombardier fiasco later, then the 787-3 would be ~50,000lbs lighter and a direct 767 middle of market freighter, but would require entire recertification of 787 fuselage/flight controls... Guess what will NEVER happen if you asked me... yea, 787-3F just is not going to happen. Would take off 5-->10 tons off weight of 788 789 and 781 though so if there is a new engine... Maybe.

    • @ying20000818
      @ying20000818 Před rokem +5

      They do and they don't. Cargo aircraft utilisation is typically much lower than passenger aircraft so older aircraft works as they fly less, meaning fuel burn is a smaller concern where the cheaper acquisition prices makes them very attractive, especially if they're just sitting on the ground 80% or the time.
      However, you do need to consider long haul, where aircraft utilisation can approach pax long haul. In those cases, lower fuel burn would be a factor and economically, could make sense to go for something newer.

      most aviation terms were taken from maritime if you havent noticed yet. and almost everyone use the same system; nautical miles for distance, feet (or FL) for height, knot as speed, port as left, starboard as right, pilot as the person who steered the ship (maritime use the term helmsman nowadays), and so on.
      nautical mile is easier to use for maritime/aviation because it was defined as 1/60 degree (or a minute) of latitude of a planet (Earth in our case) before it was defined as exactly 1852 meter, so 60 NM is approximately (because Earth is not prefect spherical, more like a squished ball) 1 degree of latitude of Earth
