HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 май 2020
- This video is about the Airbus A220. Airbus A220 is the smallest member of the Airbus family, with the A220-100 and A220-300 part of the A220 family. A220 Airbus may be the smallest Airbus, but it packs a punch. In this video about the Airbus A220, we take a look at why A220 is the perfect aircraft for airlines, and what sets the A220 apart from other aircraft. Thanks for watching this Airbus A220 video and do stay tuned to the AirplaneProductions for more great videos on the way!

The A220 is perfect for small airports clean sheet design, composite materials and efficient engines gives this plane a lot of range competing with the a321.
Jose Portillo It is, i think this will be a great complement to the new XLR for Point to point routes :) Thanks for watching!
A stretched version with 180 seats would be better. The efficiency would send both A320neo and MAX8 to the boneyards.
NNT Flow The A220-500! Though it will cannibalize Airbuses own A320neo. Thanks for watching!
@@nntflow7058 That's the reason I dont think it will happen.
@@kylecampbell1444 I don't think it has to happen if the A320 already fulfills the niche. Why go into the development cost of stretching the aircraft when an already available aircraft ready for use?
I’ve flown aboard the AirBaltic A220 and it was gorgeous! Beautiful spacious cabin with great lighting and it’s just fabulous to look at.
The air baltic A220 is indeed a very beautiful aircraft with big windows
Glider Pilot It is a lovely aircraft. Thanks for watching!
"like music for the eyes"
It is unfortunate that tourism is currently almost at level 0. Otherwise, we Baltic aborigines would travel again and travel with our AirBaltic Airbuss A220-300. And if there is a commander like Gerhard Pranke in control of the plane, then the feelings are unique and excellent during the flight. Many thanks to Canada for this great aircraft. And we are proud to dare to be the first to take it into operation. The risk has been justified. Even the biggest skeptics are currently quiet ..... We invite you to visit and fly here with this aircraft (as soon as possible).
Thank you for this gem, Canada.
Philippe V It is a gem indeed, a Canadian-European gem! Thanks for watching :)
@@oneskyflyer
First 100% designed, integrated, built and certified by Bombardier (Canada)
Now indeed 75% owned by Airbus, and 25% by the Quebec's gouvernment.
Still the whole program is located in Mirabel, Québec - with basically the same ex Bombardier employees.
Yes, there is a Mobile FAL that should be able to assemble up to 4 A220 per month, eventually.
Note that many parts are first pre-assembled in Mirabel before being shipped to Mobile as completed sub-assemblies. (Ensure some economy of scale)
@@erictremblay4940 - Belfast has as much a part to play in the A220 than Canada. And you can bet the FAL in Canada will be closed and all operations transferred to Toulouse because of this pandemic. No point in 2 FALs in North America. One in the US and one in Airbus HQ in Europe would save them a ton of money on logistics 👍
@@E9JMX
Legally speaking, Airbus has to maintain x numbers of employees (and the program) in Mirabel for like the next 12 (or 10?) years. (Investisment Quebec required it when they invested US$1B a couple years ago - and that's still valid for Airbus Canada). So Mirabel is not going anywhere anytime soon.
Most ideal aircraft to operate after this pandemic 🛫🤓
@Mark Grudt different plane
@Mark Grudt lol the PIA crash was an A320 😒🙄🤦♂️🤦♀️
@Mark Grudt I don't know of any jets that fly well after they have their engines dragged across the runway.
The A220 is perfectly suited to its class and the clean sheet design really helps the economics of the aircraft.
Chirag Chaudhuri It is a great aircraft! Thanks for watching :)
The A220 is a very versatile single aisle clean sheet design aircraft. The A220-100 is certified for short landing/take offs from airport with short runways like LCY (London City airport).
And it has the potential to be stretched and compete with the max8.
Very much a future proof aircraft...
@@chingweixion621 - I agree
A220 and A321 xlr will be dominating the airlines industry
Marvin English Yep, great for all point to point routes. Thanks for watching :)
Especially in the single aisle market.
@@chrismckellar9350 the single aisle is the market.
Chris McKellar Yep Thanks for watching!
Small but mighty, the A220 is a gem of an aircraft? Do you agree? And what do you think is the CLOSEST competitor? Let me know in the comments below!
It's like that one shounen protagonist, defeating the giants, but for real. The closest one, i think it's the E2 by embraer.
This plane has esssentially replaced the A319 for new plane sales. Note that very few A319neo planes were ever built.
I love Airbus A220 🙂❤️
fake guy It’s a great aircraft! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful plane.
It wasn't developed by Airbus ... it was designed by Bombardier Aerospace and originally marketed as the Bombardier CSeries. Bombardier sold the CSeries airliner program to Airbus in 2017.
Alan Stevens i think we all know that
Sold = gave it to airbus.
amazing
Mark Vam An amazing aircraft, and an amazing video 😉 Thanks for watching!
Just flew on one of these from SFO to SLC.
Awesome plane 👍
I recently read about the CRAIC CR929, it's supposed to be the competitor to the A350 and 777 do you think it is a good video Ideo to compare these aircraft together or have a video explaining CR929?
Also can I know the music in 6:00 please:)
Commander Chris Thanks for your comment. As it turns out I do :) but probably uploading in the future. The music is a non-copyright track I got from the Singapore Airlines SG50 A380 paint video :)
Beautiful puppy jet
Can you do a video about the Boeing 777-300ERSF? Please?
Bombardier did a pro-gamer move right there
AG DCA 24 They did :) Thanks for watching!
@@oneskyflyer oh yeah, closest one i think is embraer E2 or MC21 by the russians.
@@Dakkyun mc21 is heavy and inefficient. Plus with sanctions I don't think they will be able to build it with the western technologies that are currently in it and we don't know if the Russian replacement will be as good.
@@andrejohnson3520 thanks for the info.
A220 for full service airlines and E2 jets for budget airlines? Could this be post Covid19 future for regional jets?
Could you compare the Mad Dog with a different aircraft? As a tribute to Delta retiring them in about a week.
To those that can afford it, the A 220 would make a great corporate or private jet.
I was lucky to have flown Swiss A220 Zurich to CDG. Simply marvelous. Very Quiet. Comfortable.
James Sirikit Thanks for sharing. Yep, and nice Swiss Chocolate as well! Hope to fly both Swiss and A220 one day!
@@oneskyflyer photos.app.goo.gl/xaxHBv7eYYRtnMkh6
James Sirikit Nice :) hope to try Swiss one day!
I want to know if you had an all 2-2 Premium Economy configuration with reduced capacity, could it do international flights.
Dream Journal Projects It could, range is a maximum of 3400nmi even with full payloads. That’s enough for London New York, just. Thanks for watching ;)
The 100 Variant or the 300, if you don't mind me asking?
Dream Journal Projects Yep it’s ok :) The A220-100 can fly 3400nmi
Air Baltic picks up the planes in Montreal and flies them to their home base in Riga Latvia. So yes it sure can do trans Atlantic
@@anthonyevans6796
It also got Transport Canada ETOPS certification. The A220-300 can fly full load BOS-LHR, or YQB-CDG no problems. (Even longer legs, I got to check)
The A221 (in an all business class 2 x 2 configuration) can even fly LCY-NYC.
There's my airline there on those pics ;*Air tanzania,"(
Ahmed Salum It is a fast growing airline and they picked the right choice! Thanks for watching!
I Love The Airbus A220's I Hope too fly on them when JetBlue Takes Delivery of them Both this year & Next Year For Breeze Airways in April 2021.
Karlos Sargeant Thanks for tuning in! Yep, the first JetBlue A220 is now in final production. Thanks for watching :)
Never thought there was an A200 series aircraft
There's a lot of noise interfering with your voice. You might have mistaken it for music given how the volume of the noise goes up and down over the video. The video would have improved substantially if you left it all out completely.
Could this aircraft save Airbus, or at least speed their recovery post covid 19, possibly even resulting in them taking Boeing's No.1 position? If so, it would be quite ironic that it was Boeing's actions which led to the acquisition by Airbus.
Neil Pickup It could. Airlines will want lower capacity aircraft and the A220 is perfect for them. Thanks for watching
@@oneskyflyer A slight increase in cabin length will cannibalize the a320 completely. Airbus just paid pennies to achieve a completely modern a320 successor.
Save Airbus?
Airbus has the best plane in every size category and the largest number of orders.
Airbus is all ready the number 1 and will only consolidate that position.
@@marpagapal3312 I wouldn't be so sure, even the best product needs customers. If as many fear, demand is going to reduce (even for a few years) it is inevitable that some (possibly many) airlines will go to the wall. We are already seeing airlines reducing their fleets. Regardless, I (and many others too) expect there to be a significant number of aircraft of all sizes available on the second-hand market and you are going to need something which the secondhand market cannot easily supply. While Airbus has a significant order book, bankrupt airlines cannot be made to honour orders, and many of those who are able to cancel or delay will probably do so. I would be very surprised if a significant percentage of the manufacturers current order books do not fail to be delivered. We also have to remember that there are a lot of completed 737max aircraft hanging around, and not all will be going to their intended customers who are finding it easier to cancel the order where Boeing failed to fulfill their side of the contract. I am guessing that legally many of these aircraft may no longer be legally new, and presumably no longer covered by any anti-dumping legislation so could eventually offered on terms it may be difficult to ignore. I am not knocking the Airbus product line in any way, but in an uncertain market and us entering what could turn out to be the biggest recession in history, having the best product may not be enough.
@@neilpickup237 agree that the outlook is certainly gloomy. But then again this is where opportunities arises. AirAsia was once a bankrupt airline laden with debt and was sold to Tony Fernandes for $1.00. 10 yrs later it was a rising LCC in South East Asia enroute to be the biggest in Asia. That being said, that was prior to the Sept 11 incident where aviation was still booming.
This time round, the post covid aviation will likely see many airlines fold and declare bankruptcy. New startup airlines will emerged to take over these orders backlog.
The quickest way out of all these, buy off the aviation licence, liquidate the company, and restart a fresh new airline free of debt. This is just capitalism.
With the current crisis the A-220 could become a verry popular option in the new market to come, what do you think ?
vwbora26 Absolutely, airlines will be looking for smaller aircraft and the A220 is a great small plane. Thanks for watching
a220 was a bargain for Airbus and essentially covers the market right up to a320 capacity.
The A220-500 will almost certainly replace the A320 neo come mid decade and will feature even newer engines and perhaps more efficient wings..
Then Airbus will be able to design a completely new NMA to replace the a321. This time they can design the aircraft specifically for this market (rather than a stretch like the a321)
Actually it cannibalizes a320. Now add that it is a modern composite design? Sorry, A320 is dead. Airubus just paid ~a couple Billion for the a320 succesor while Boeing has none. a321 is still alive... until another major engine upgrade, allowing greater range on this wing but that might never happen as the low hanging fruit of engine tech(geared turbofan) has already been achieved and there is essentially nothing left.
@@w8stral that's what I wrote :) hence it's entry into the market further into the a320 NEO lifecycle.
Yes gtf is low hanging fruit however P&W didn't use particularly advanced materials for the hot section of the engine as did GE with the leap to achieve more efficiency.
Give the GTF the same treatment and you could net another 10% with ease. I agree however that it is difficult to improve efficiency much further
@@michaelaldersey5348 Somehow I doubt that. Its not like P&W do not already have said materials...
@@w8stral yep they did have access to the tech but their combustor apparently is not nearly as advanced as on the leap which would suggest they focused on getting the gearbox as reliable as possible. Gen 2 gtf ought to go back over these elements in order to squeeze every last drop of performance and efficiency out of gtf. That is why the tech is great. There is still some room for improvement
@@michaelaldersey5348 So, maybe 5%
This is the love the A220 needs, nice job! Personally I think the A319neo should be discontinued, since it did so badly, and Airbus should keep working on the A220. Great aircraft-never flown it, but I know a few people who have.
I don’t think the stretched A220-500 will be as good for Airbus as the A320neo, despite the neo’s lack of composite materials. The A220 will be pushed to the upper limits of its designated size, while the A320neo is right at home in a way with the 180-seat market, and the A220 is the clear leader in the 120-seat area.
Airbus will most likely keep the A319neo around but they will not put in any effort to improve it beyond the current performance. This is to offer fleet commonality options to current A320 operators without adding another fleet type and increase maintenance cost.
The Bombardier Cseries was originally designed with 2 further stretch in mind so it will definitely be well within its limits. The stretched A220-500 will mostly likely come in the mid or end of the decade (between 2025-2029) and it would serve as a replacement for the A320neo. By then the first A320neo would reach 10-12yrs of age and most A319 and A320ceo purchased after the Sept 11 recovery would be ripe for retirement. It would also likely feature newer generations of engines, maybe a 2nd gen PW GTF with even higher BPR and greater efficiency. So A220 is not just looking to be a leader in the 100-150pax segment but also likely to be a future leader in the larger 150-200pax segment.
Theodore Eicher Same, never flown A220 before but hope to do so in the future! Thanks for watching :)
A Embraer E2 is Very confortable , for short roots is much better
I don't know about comfortable, but yes, the E195E2 could be perfect for a LCC on shorter routes.
The prettiest modern airliner,which will come in to it's own in today's climate in aviation.A319s and b737-700s will become more attractive too.
Can you make a video about the 777Xl and 787-3?
Jose Portillo Thanks for your video idea. Hmm, 777-8LX is an ultra Long range aircraft while 787-3 is a short range aircraft, though both were never developed. Will try to incorporate it in one of the many videos on the way :)
If it had 3-3 aeat layout. It woould be more perfect.
A great plane indeed and no competition from Boeing
Anthony Evans Yep, it is in a class of its own! Thanks for watching
They still did their best to kill it though.
@@trezapoioiuy and killed themselves in the process.
That was a monumental backlash.
1:38 A SriLankan plane ❤️. Flag carrier of my country.
ruwan800 Its a great airline! Hope to fly them one day. Thanks for watching :)
I’m still sad that Bombardier had to sell it stake to Airbus.
Sell it? They basically gave it away. They put over $6.5 billion into developing it and gave it away for less than $700 million
Junior Campbell Yep, though under Airbus the aircraft has took off to greater heights with more orders. Thanks for watching!
@@rcairflr
Not quite given away. Airbus paid US$591M to increase its ownership to 75%. And Airbus is providing the whole after sale support, parts procurement and logistics. That doesn't come free.
But yes, still a loss compared to the $6.5B development costs.
But hey, the program is still in Mirabel, and has grown since Airbus took over.
And will eventually get to 10 per month in Mirabel, and 4 per month in Mobile.
try going at boeing for putting the final nail on bombardier.....
@@johnpatricklim4509
Actually, Bombardier will be in better financial shape it never was in the last ten years.
The Cdn$10B sale of Bombardier Transport (Rail) has just been approved.
Boeing had its chances to kill (or acquire) the CSeries but blew it. Looking at the way they treated Embraer, I'm happy we partner with Airbus.
I had no sympathy for Boeing, even less now since knowing their practices with the Max certification.
I hope Qantas orders some
John Bobb They are set to make a decision next year, potentially alongside their A350 widebody order... thanks for watching ;)
I agree, they would be great for Aus
This is really a great aircraft! It is truly economically perfect for airlines. Probably the closest competitor would be something from Embraer.
The Avid Aviator It is indeed! The E195 E2 can compete over shorter routes but the A220 has more range :) Thanks for watching!
Only problem is training pilots. I’d imagine it doesn’t share many similarities to the A320
The A220 is not their owner of the aircraft. It was originally owned by Bombardier
WE KNOW
So, how many Airlines are they ordering this plane now?
@@martinrey5894, ok
Ziolin Camba Correct, though its now whole owned by Airbus. Thanks for watching ;)
@@oneskyflyer, thx
I wonder what happened to that COMAC aircraft & that other one from Russia (I don't remember the name) that is supposed to compete with B737 & A320.
I think they are both in flight testing. They took too long to come to market and the efficiency that they were to bring was e eventually matched and surpassed by the neo and max.
You mean comac C919 and irkut MC-21...
They are under designed, over powered and most importantly They're late to the market but I do see a potential in the Russian MC-21 to grow into a potential future B757.
Yeng Sabio MC21! A great aircraft, better than China C910 series :) That said, the A220 actually offers more range :) Thanks for watching!
Post COVID-19, I believe this aeoplane will change the landscape. Airbus must be doing handsprings, having aquired it for nothing. Boeing, who tried to kill it, must be crying in their beer!
No doubt. Its called retribution...
Michael Alexander They paid for it! $1 Canadian, lol. Anyways, it is a great aircraft they got for this priceless one dollar! Thanks for watching
think its a bit down the list of things Boeing cry about these days
@@oneskyflyer
Airbus indeed paid $1 for 50.01%. (And provided after sale support, and sales - which also have a value)
Airbus has since increased its share to 75% - and paid US$591M for it.
So in reality, we are far from that $1, really...
Boeing will come out with another iteration of the B-737 to compete with the A-220. Yeah, right. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
C Series (A 220) is entirely a Quebec designed aircraft. Initial manufacture was at Mirabel. It was imagined and built by Bombardier. Airbus is a fairy godmother and nothing
more, deep pockets to the rescue.
Perhaps you need a bit of background on Bombardier and Boeing and American trade law.
It was a combination of poor management, inappropriate sales tactics (which resulted in retaliation by Boeing) and crushing debt, that resulted in the Airbus name being
applied to this Canadian plane. Observe the Canadian flag on the aircraft in your video.
It is a twisted tale of woe for Bombardier which has since shed almost all it's planes and trains to concentrate on very high end business jet where it has the very best to offer.
The A 220 has the history of a train wreck but the vision, creativity and execution of a an expert team, open to every idea and suggestion. When bombardier started planning for this aircraft,
there wasn't really a market for it. Now, the market will come to this plane as the best choice for the new world of passenger jets.
Boing will build B636 after watching this video
Ilham Suhendi Lol, that will look cool! Thanks for watching!
Perfect but way pricier than an embraer. Personally I like more embraer.
2x2 seat configuration of Embraer is very comfortable.
Embraer has a smaller cabin.
It has a lower capacity, lower range,
It's overall worse
@@marpagapal3312 depends on the perspective, we have to consider the airlines demands and needs, like the A330 neo. For some airlines it is a cheaper way to have a new airplane, burning less fuel without the hight cost of a 787 or A350.
@@claudioavia the only advantage of the Embraer is his ability to operate from shorter airstrip and the lower price.
But the A220 is much more versatile.
@@marpagapal3312 I agree with you, and I think it would fit perfectly in the new scenario after covid 19 crisis because it can carry less passengers with an impressive eficiency and range. With the low demand for air travel, it will be a good choice, I think.
It is not a regional jet, never was. It has well over 3000nm range and that will be increased soon. Also, large cockpit screens contribute to efficiency? Really?
rip boeing
Alternative title, how the canadians built a better aircraft than Airbus.
or u could say how Europe creams all over USA
B007 Lol, Yep built in Canada sold by Europe. Thanks for watching :)
@@oneskyflyer built around the world, and shipped to Canada and the US and then assembled... Not built
I really hope Airbus bites the bullet and approves a stretched A220-500 #CSeries
Reko It will be a very good aircraft :) though will cannibalize the A320neo. Thanks for watching :)
It will replace the a320 neo when the time comes
I think if some more major players join air France in calling for the 500 then airbus just might have to give in. Keeping my fingers crossed that they do cause I think it would be a game changer.
@@oneskyflyer It would be superior to a320 neo for very low cost. Leaving Boeing a $8Billion bill to develop ... FINALLY develop a 737 successor.
Andre Johnson It will, offering the lowest seat mile cost ever. Thanks for watching!
Perfect Aircraft. *Wong Time.*
they should make a very long and wider (a bit) version of this and the a350 and 787 are cancelled
MEA001 / The Lebanese Aviator Channel Interesting. Well longer would cannibalize A320neo and not 787 as the 787 is a different type of Longer range aircraft. Thanks for watching
In my 25 years as an AMT this is the worst aircraft I have ever had to work on.
DJW701 Thanks for your comment. Why so? Would love to know :)
2L/100km per pax... that's better than cars... so what's the fuss about flightshame?
22ndCenturyBasterd Yep, air travel remains one of the cleanest forms of transportation, cleaner than boats across the Atlantic, arguably. Thanks for watching!
Never a220 will be better than Embraer E2!!
Hi Fabricio!
The E195E2 (which compete with the A220-100) has a shorter range, is more cramped for passagers and need a longer strip to take off and land.
But I agree it sells for less and has similar CASM (operating costs per seat miles) than the A220-100. So its a perfect aircraft to operate within Europe and/or for LCCs by example.
No E2s can touch the A220-300 however. The A220-300 has a better range, has better CASM, is more comfortable for passagers etc.
If it was "perfect" Bombadier would still be making it. :)
bdSav8r1, Bombadier would still be making it if they had not fallen on financial difficulties. Airbus stepped in with a huge investment in the CS-100/300 which eventually was redesignated the A220-100/300. The fact that Bombadier is no longer involved in manufacturing them is no reflection on the quality of the airplane. The A220 is a winner.
It’s because it’s made in CANADA
C’est parce que c’est fabriqué au CANADA
À Mirabel, Québec plus précisément...
Très bien Eric Tremblay. Dupuis votre français. Je ferai aussi une version française
No such thing as a perfect aircraft!
Lostcreek 1 If there was ever something nearly perfect, I reckon the A220 could run for that position 😉 Thanks for watching ;)
There are some compromises and trade-offs that must be made by Boeing or Airbus when designing an aircraft. In contrast, Bombardier had aerospace engineers who wanted NO design compromises, and effectively engineered entire wish lists of passengers, pilots, cabin crew and airlines into this thing. The quietness, cost and fuel efficiency of the CSeries (now A220) receives almost all the attention. The public knows little about the long list of special flight capabilities of this aircraft: it will leave the ground using less runway than anything else, it will climb faster than anything else, it will make long, fast fuel-saving glides in the decent phase, handling (especially at low altitudes and speeds) and flight controls and cockpit are highly coveted by pilots. Ask pilots and airlines what kind of engineering went into this thing, and you will find out "enough to bankrupt any builder".
Sales certainly don’t indicate it’s the perfect aircraft . It’s actually proving to be pretty unreliable.
Too bad the engine ratings is going to be below the range for RR Ultrafan, otherwise that may be a future possibility.
Gary Holden It’s just not the engines I’ve had to do some further redesigns on the airframe itself due to problems
