WHY DO I LIKE AIRCRAFT?

• I chose to do my presentation on Airplanes
  because I am a plane fanatic. Everyone says that
  I know to much about planes, so I decided to out
  do myself this time.
• Hope you enjoy the show!

Airbus A321

• First Flew 11th March 1993.
• Length 146ft 0in
• Wingspan 111ft 10in
• The A321 is a technological marvel being the
  second aircraft in the world to be on a fly by
  wire set. This means that instead of having many
  gears and levers to operate the ailerons and
  rudder. It uses electronic wires to do this. A
  bit like power steering in a car.

Boeing 767-300

• First Flew 17th February 1982
• Length 180 3
• Wingspan 156 1
• The 767 has nothing marvellous about it, but it
  was the first aircraft to have the double set
  wheels (two wheels on each side of the wheel
  bogie) to have a positive gradient from the left
  side and a negative gradient from the right.
  (Positive gradient, where the line goes
  diagonally upwards from left to right and a
  negative gradient is where the line slopes the
  opposite way.) On most aircraft with sloping
  wheels it is the other way round. Basically, the
  first set of two wheels is nearer to the ground.

Airbus A340-500

• First Flew 11 Feb 2002
• Length 222ft 5in
• Wingspan 208ft 11in
• Capacity 312 passengers
• Info The Airbus A340-500 is the longest range
  aircraft in the world. With over 16,700km range
  it can fly from Toronto, Canada to Hong Kong or
  Dubai, U.A.E to Sydney, Australia non-stop.

Boeing 757

• First Flew Feb 19 1982
• Length 155ft 3in
• Wingspan 124ft 10in
• Passenger Capacity 180
• The 757 is the worlds longest narrow body
  aircraft. (Narrow body means, one aisle and one
  set of seats on each side of the aisle. It is
  Boeings last narrow body aircraft and has a
  range greater that any other narrow body aircraft
  in the world, Range 4,000 miles.

7
Boeing 777-300 (The Triple 7)

• First Flew1994
• Length 242 4
• Wingspan 199 11
• Capacity 224 to 410 (depending on the
  configuration)
• The 777 is an amazing aircraft, with 6 wheels on
  each bogie and a narrower tail than any other
  wide body (two aisles in the plane and two sets
  of seats on each side of the aisle)

8
Boeing 747-400

• Length 231.1 ft
• Wingspan 211 5
• Capacity 495 - 1000
• The 747 is something of a technological marvel.
  It was the first wide body jetliner, aircraft
  with two decks, plane with more than 10 wheels.
  The 747 has 18, more than any other plane today
  as well as pre 1969.

Boeing 747 continued

• In the Japanese domestic routes, they use the 747
  100, -200, -300 and 400 to carry in excess of
  900 passengers in an all economy configuration.
  This is okay for short sectors, but would be hell
  for long haul flights (London Heathrow to
  Sydney).

10
Boeing 767-400

• Length 201 4
• Wingspan 170 4
• Capacity 245
• The 767-400 is the longest member of the Boeing
  767 family. With its Raked Wingtips and longer
  range, surprisingly, only Continental Airlines
  and Delta Airlines, both USA, have bought it.
  Although British Airways of the UK are possibly
  leasing one on short term.

11
Airbus A340-600

• Length 247 0
• Wingspan208 11
• Capacity 320 - 450
• The A340-600 is the longest air plane in the
  world. It is longer than the 747 by over 5 meters
  but doesnt have the range or capacity of the
  747. The A340-600 is used by many airlines,
  including Virgin Atlantic (VA) and South African
  Airways (SAA).

12
Airbus A318

• Length 103 2
• Wingspan 111 10
• Capacity 55- 120
• The A318 is the shortest aircraft and is most
  widely used in the USA, although Air France and
  Finnair have ordered over 50 each, but Frontier
  and Mexicana have mass ordered over 150.
