Boeing Vs. Airbus Fuel Efficiency






Here's something interesting I discovered.. A 737-800 burns 4.88 gallons of fuel per seat per hour, compared with the comparable A320’s burn of 5.13 gallons per seat per hour, according to The Airline Monitor, an industry publication. How many seats can the Airbus accommodate? Last I heard, it was 180.. the Boeing in 1 class configuration was 189..

Well, just something I thought was worth mentioning I guess.. The nerd in me has always wanted some numbers for comparison for no reason at all..

B737 vs. A320 (Pilot's View)



I have always wondered how the Airbus 320 and the Boeing 737 compared to each other, since they are heavily competitive with each other.

Well, after some searching and disregarding "fanboy" nonsense comments in forums about how the two aircraft fare, I finally found some constructive comparisons between the two aircraft from a pilot's viewpoint in AskCaptainLim.com.

The link is over here, it is a good read.
