Airbus A320
Flying By Wire Into the Future
Airbus has been Boeing's biggest competitor since... well, since Airbus was born. The A-320 is considered by many to be Airbus's masterpiece. It has roughly the same passenger capacity as a 737, but it is also faster, quieter, and more fuel-efficient than it's counterpart. Many airlines and pilots prefer the tried-and-true 737, but that hasn't stopped several major airlines from becoming officially "All Airbus" in the last two decades.
