Which is a better aircraft the B777-200 or the A330-200?

Question

tell me which is a better plane on an overall basis..

Answer 1

They're both pretty safe. I think 1 Airbus A330 crashed on a test flight.  And other than the recent British Airways landing mishap, the 777 has not crashed.

I feel the A330 is quieter.

I like the 777-300 better than the A330

Answer 2

Boeing 777 by a distance

but its all about the 787 now

Answer 3

The 777 is a slightly more recent design, therefore benefits from technological advancements. The A330 uses the basic fuselage design of the A300 (which dates form 1972) while the 777 was a clean sheet development.

Newer designs are usually better, and that is no exception.

Answer 4

The one they're paying me to fly.

Answer 5

Boeing. Not built by the French so it must be better!

Answer 6

The A330-200 based on sales...under flights under 5000nm the A330-200 is more economical to fly.

Answer 7

I am a major in the United States National Airforce.

I have flown both planes and many others in my years of flying.

The B777-200 has the best overall performance compared to the A330-200. Speed Handling and Airodynamics. The A330-200's only victory is its quiet sound when flying.

Answer 8

after looking at some diagrams, i believe the A330-200 is the better plane.

Answer 9

B772 hands down.  Longer range, better safety record, higher passenger capacity.

Answer 10

I have been around aircraft most of my life.  From bending wrenches on Jet Engines, serving as a civilian weapons expert on the A-10 to being a trained and experienced aircraft accident investigator.  That pedigree means if I am not opinionated I have been sleeping for 40 years.  Well I haven't.

I recall a line from the book & movie "Airport".  The corporate head mechanic made a remark about Boeing.  He said they are tough, you can remove the wings and use them for a battering ram.  I tend to agree.  While on paper the choice may be 50/50 my gut still screams Boeing.  If I were in the position to lease or purchase ships for a new airline I would look to Boeing first.

In closing I probably don't have to tell but opinions are like @$$ holes.  Everyone has one and they all stink.
