airbus and boeing may be competitors, but we all have one thing in common, love for aviation!
Couldn't agree more. Different brands, same love for soaring the skies!
Yes 🛩️
Yeah, so right
I’ve been waiting for this video for ages

Hello
HI
Boeing did not enjoy a monopoly before Airbus. It had very serious competition from Douglas/McDonnel Douglas and Lockheed. In fact, before the 707, Boeing's prop-liners were relatively unpopular, with airlines preferring the DC-6/7 and Lockheed Constellation over the Boeing 307 or 377 as demonstrated by the large disparity in number of airplanes built.
Boeing gained ground with the 707, but Douglas built a similar number of DC-8s.
But the Americans had a near monopoly because they had such a large domestic market.
"Boeing did not enjoy a monopoly before Airbus." - well they do not enjoy it now either!
The British-made Comet, which first flew in 1949 was the first jetliner. It still suffered some design flaws that the French-made Caravelle will correct by 1955. The 707 and DC-8 will come several years after the Comet and the Caravelle, but they'll benefit of large economies of scale thanks to the huge US domestice market, making them very competitive. The struggle for European manufacturers has never been technical, it has always been about reaching critical market size, something that will be ultimately done thanks to Airbus.
Finally after sometime we have now got a new videos! Thanks flatlife for keeping us interested in history of companies!
This was a massive project, and your continued support made it all worth it. Thank you!
After a few years of waiting, the Evolution of Airbus is finally here!!!
We worked hard on this one and hope it's worth every moment you waited!
@@Flatlife I appreciate your hard work!! 💯🙏🏾
OMG! I was literally dreaming about you uploading the history Airbus soon! And you did!! I can predict the future? nice video!
I also was thinking of that too!
Same!! We came from the boeing video
@@SimplyAnAxolotl.officiali thought you said you came from boring video 💀
It's like your dreams and our content are in sync! Thanks for your warm words, and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video!

Airbus fans, assemble! Let's turn that like button into a runway!
Lets gooooo🛫🛫🛫
@@FlatlifeBRO THIS IS A DREAM OF MINE TYSM
@@Flatlifeyeaaah
@@FlatlifeThank you for making this video
There are many channels that make videos in such a style, but none come close to Flatlife. Thank you for keeping us interested in history in a fun and creative way!
Who agrees that the a310/300 looks great
Yep! I fly the A310 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020!
@@joshuascarfe5656 same, wonderful plane, a bit unfortunate that they didn't add the -200 variant as well
I agree
Yeah I do

Boeing and Airbus are 2 of my favorite plane companies :)
Cause why fight over which plane company is best when both of them are good
Boeing vs. Airbus? It's like arguing if Batman or Superman is cooler. Both can fly, and both are super! ;)
Bombadier:
Embraer:
Aircraft that I have flown in my life:
Boeing: 737, 747, 767, 777, 787
Airbus: A320 Family, A330, A340, A380
They're both good. I enjoyed my flights on the stated models, and I view the entire "Boeing vs Airbus" argument as entirely stupid. There are some features that makes Boeing better than Airbus, and vice versa.
A more detailed list on the aircraft that I have flown on:
737 - Southwest Airlines
747 - Philippine Airlines
767, 787 - Japan Airlines
777 - Korean Air
A320 Family - Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific
A330, A380 - Korean Air
I know that some people might accuse me of lying, but what other way can I think of to prove that I am not lying other than just typing: "I swear I'm not lying?"
@@bluestorm9977nice mate!
@@bluestorm9977Man i wish i could ride the 747 before all of them are going into retirement.
Thank you for making this video, I love how you also go into the details about the aircraft shows that you really did your homework.
Great series. It would be amazing to see Embraer history in some of the future videos. Keep up the good work 💪
omg this is exactly what I`ve always wanted from your channel tysm
It's wonderful to hear that! Thank you for the love!
I`ve been watching for a few years now I think. Really enjoy your content :D@@Flatlife
I love how he takes his time and work into making these awesome videos. Keep up the great work.❤
Would be wonderful though if he could, for example, learn how to pronounce Aerospatiale…
Your videos are so good i've known you for like 3 years at this point and your videos just keep getting better and better. keep up the good work!
I've been waiting for this, thank you for this video!
Flatlife out here with yet again another banger Evolution video, keep up the good work bro :)
Appreciate that bro! Your support drives us to create more quality content!
I can already tell that the next part is going to be a BANGER, I was awaiting for airbus and you guys did AMAZING, i love u so much (no homo)
Finally An Airbus Series! been waiting for over a year for this!
LETS GOOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG THANK YOU!! Jeez waitin for a Airbus video is long, isn’t it?
The best feature on the A310 that isn't talked about very often is the Cockpit Kindergarten. It was only used once in 1994 and didn't prove to be successful. I was quite happy with the seatback entertainment on my Emirates A310 back in Dec 1994.
What was this?
@@beni5149 Kudrinski Jr had a go at the controls on Aeroflot 593 and subsequently brought a few of the autopilot parameters into manual control. Needless to say, he turned the flight into a aeroplane's version of X2 at 6 flags magic mountain and made a right hash of things. They could have recovered the dive, but altitude was against them.
Admittedly, FS2020 with the A310 model wasn't available during tha time as I think MSFS was only at version 3.0 or 4.0.
Point is, kid in the cockpit sat in your father's left hand seat will always spell disaster. Spasiba
Another Inspiring Adventures and a Great Story ☺️

Petition for part 2
👇
Yeah
Yessir
We're on it! The next episode, Part 2, will be out next week!
12:40 you forgot to add Aeroflot Flight 593. It was also an A310-300, that crashed into a mountain near Mezhdurechensk. Aeroflot flight 593 was a scheduled flight from Moscow to Kong-Hong. On the altitude of 33 100 feet or 10 300 meters Kudrinsky let his kids control the aircraft. He first let his daughter named Yana (12-13 years old) take a captain seat and turn the yoke to the left then to the right. He made an illusion like she is controlling the aircraft, but in reality he was changing the heading. Then he let his son Eldar (15 years old) take a captain seat and also turn the yoke to the left then to the right. Eldar made heading autopilot disconnect, which made the aircraft bank slowly to the right. When crew noticed it, it was too late.
Kong-hong?
Oh nevermind
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!
Been waiting for this for so long.
18:48 that information is incorrect, the Concorde was actually the first commercial airliner to feature a flybywire control system
A320 was only the first to introduce Digital fly-by-wire
Finally, an Airbus episode!!
The video I've been waiting for!
Thanks again for another awesome video👏🏻👏🏻
It’s insane that all these planes came from a small propeller plane made by the wright brothers
fun fact: airbus hosted a livery contest for its newest aircraft, the a350f, and you probably already know how that went. one even had to be deleted because the whole livery was.. just look it up.
What was it
@@mrwelshaviation_024it was an anime design
@@flyingpizza7486 correct
I've been waiting for this for a very long time
That was a good vid! Can’t wait for pt2
"still hurting from the failure of Concorde the British withdrew from the project.." Totally wrong.
Concorde's first flight: 2 March 1969. The British left the A300 project in April 1969, The NYT: « Britain Abandons the European Airbus Project; Believes Building the Plane Is a Losing Proposition. » When it emerged that RR would not be supplying the A300 engines the British government’s anti-Airbus stance grew.
But the real reason why Brits left Airbus was BAC was then working on the BAC 3-11, secretly seen by the Brits as the "A300 killer".. Th 3-11 was a wide-body airliner, in a similar class of size, weight, and range, to the Airbus design. During 1969 and 1970, the British government-owned airline BEA expressed willingness to operate the Three-Eleven. In addition to BEA, several other airlines declared their support for the Three-Eleven proposal, but no orders were placed: the design had not been finalised and the programme itself has not been actually launched…
In 1971, BAC decided to abandon the 3-11. By the mid-70s, the Airbus A300 design had been finalised and had attracted modest but sufficient orders. And today Airbus is world leader, thanks to the French and Germans...
Another problem, you compare the A310 with the B737. They are not designed for the same purpose, a fitting comparison for the A310 would be the B767.
thank you for making this video. It’s very helpful on some projects that I have.
Sick vid been waiting for since the bossing vid for this
Bro finally did it :D
Was waiting for airbus😂 Enjoyed the Boeing video, but I think Airbus is just better in general. Boeing cockpits look really outdated, while Airbus cockpits are sexy as hell!
I can agree with the 737 because its a 70 year old plane but not the 15 year old 787 Dreamliner. But no one can say that the sidestick is better than the yoke!
@blue.turtle I gotta disagree with you on that one. The yoke is designed for both hands. For takeoff and landing you have one hand on the yoke and one on the throttle. That would make controlling the aircraft harder. With a side stick, there's an arm rest specifically designed to rest your arm while controlling the plane, while you can monitor the throttle with the other hand. Sidestick seems to give more accurate control, and is more comfortable. If rather sit for hours using a sidestick rather than holding my arms out with a yoke.
This comment got way too long, and I'm not even sure if it makes sense.
I'm not a pilot and definitely haven't flown a boeing or airbus. I'm just a kid who likes planes.
Finally🎉 I was waiting for this for years!🎉
Finaly,i already liked the boing Evolution but since my father works for airbus in north germany so this is even better and this video was a blast! Continue with the great Videos ❤
