The A3. 40 is used on long haul, trans oceanic routes due to its immunity from ETOPS restrictions however, with reliability and fuel efficiency in engines improving, airlines have gradually phased out the type in favour of the more economical Boeing 7. Airbus has positioned the larger variants of the Airbus A3. Airbus announced on 1. November 2. 01. 1 that A3. DevelopmenteditBackgroundeditWhen Airbus designed the Airbus A3. Boeing and Douglas, two established US aerospace manufacturers. From the moment of formation, Airbus had begun studies into derivatives of the Airbus A3. B in support of this long term goal. Prior to the service introduction of the first Airbus airliners, Airbus had identified nine possible variations of the A3. A3. 00. B1 to B9. A 1. 0th variation, conceived in 1. A3. 00. B1. 0. 1. It was a smaller aircraft that would be developed into the long range Airbus A3. Airbus then focused its efforts on the single aisle market, which resulted in the Airbus A3. The decision to work on the A3. Germans, created divisions within Airbus. As the SA or single aisle studies which later became the successful Airbus A3. Boeing 7. 37 and Douglas DC 9 in the single aisle, narrow body airliner market, Airbus turned its focus back to the wide body aircraft market. The A3. 00. B1. 1,1. A3. 10, was designed upon the availability of ten ton engines. It would seat between 1. It was deemed the replacement for the less efficient Boeing 7. Douglas DC 8s still in service. The A3. 00. B1. 1 was joined by another design, the A3. B9, which was a larger derivative of the A3. The B9 was developed by Airbus from the early 1. It was essentially a stretched A3. It was targeted at the growing demand for high capacity, medium range, transcontinental trunk routes. The B9 would offer the same range and payload as the Mc. Donnell Douglas DC 1. The B9 was therefore considered the replacement for the DC 1. Lockheed L 1. 01. How To Install Small Barrel Hinges. Tristar. 1. 6To differentiate the programme from the SA studies, the B9 and B1. TA9 and TA1. 1 TA standing for twin aisle, respectively. In an effort to save development costs, it was decided that the two would share the same wing and airframe the projected savings were estimated at US5. The adoption of a common wing structure also had one technical advantage the TA1. Another factor was the split preference of those within Airbus and, more importantly, prospective airliner customers. Airbus vice president for strategic planning, Adam Brown, recalled,North American operators were clearly in favour of a twinjet, while Asians wanted a quadjet. In Europe, opinion was split between the two. The majority of potential customers were in favour of a quad despite the fact, in certain conditions, it is more costly to operate than a twin. They liked that it could be ferried with one engine out, and could fly anywhere ETOPS extend range twin engine operations hadnt begun then. Design efforteditThe first specifications of the TA9 and TA1. While the TA9 had a range of 3,3. TA1. 1 range was up to 6,8. At the same time, Airbus also sketched the TA1. TA1. 1, which was optimised for flights of a 2,0. By the time of the Paris Air Show in June 1. TA9 and TA1. 1, including the adoption of the A3. FBW flight control system and side stick control. Adopting a common cockpit across the new Airbus series allowed operators to make significant cost savings flight crews would be able to transition from one to another after one week of training. The TA1. 1 and TA1. A3. 10. 2. 3 Components were modular and also interchangeable with other Airbus aircraft where possible2. From the start, Airbus intended the A3. A3. 40 to share a common flight deck with the A3. The cockpit of a Lufthansa A3. Airbus briefly considered a variable camber wing the concept was that the wing could change its profile to produce the optimum shape for a given phase of flight. Studies were carried out by British Aerospace BAe at Hatfield and Bristol. Airbus estimated this would yield a 2 improvement in aerodynamic efficiency. However, the plan was later abandoned on grounds of cost and difficulty of development. Airbus had held discussions with Mc. Donnell Douglas to jointly produce the aircraft, which would have been designated as the AM 3. This aeroplane would have combined the wing of the A3. Dianna Booher Books. Mc. Donnell Douglas MD 1. However, talks were terminated as Mc. Donnell Douglas insisted on the continuation of its trijet heritage. Although from the start it was intended for the A3. CFM5. 6 5turbofan engines, each capable of 2. N,2. 7 Airbus had also considered developing the aircraft as a trijet due to the limited power of engines available at the time, namely the Rolls Royce RB2. Pratt Whitney JT1. D 2. 32. 2. 8On 2. January 1. 98. 6, the Airbus Industrie Supervisory Board held a meeting in Munich, West Germany, after which board chairman Franz Josef Strau released a statement, Airbus Industrie is now in a position to finalise the detailed technical definition of the TA9, which is now officially designated the A3. TA1. 1, now called the A3. The designations were originally reversed because the airlines believed it illogical for a two engine jet airliner to have a 4 in its name, whilst a quad jet would not. On 1. 2 May 1. 98. Airbus dispatched fresh sale proposals to five prospective airlines including Lufthansa and Swissair. Production and testingeditIn preparations for production of the A3. A3. 40, Airbuss partners invested heavily in new facilities. Filton was the site of BAEs 7 million investment in a three storey technical centre with an extra 1. BAe also spent 5 million expanding the Chester wing production plant by 1. However, France saw the biggest changes with Arospatiale starting construction of a new Fr. Toulouse Blagnac Airport, in Colomiers. By November 1. 98. Clment Ader assembly hall. The assembly process, meanwhile, would feature increased automation with holes for the wing fuselage mating process drilled by eight robots. The use of automation for this particular process saved Airbus 2. British Aerospace accepted 4. UK government, short of the 7. Funds from the French and German governments followed thereafter. Airbus also issued subcontracts to companies in Austria, Australia, Canada, China, Greece, Italy, India, Japan, South Korea, Portugal, the United States, and the former Yugoslavia. The A3. 30 and A3.
