I siste utgave av Flight International nevner Airbus at de studerer en ny erstatter for A300/310, kalt A30X.
Her er litt av det som blir sagt i artikkelen:
"The European manufacturer revealed last year that it was studying a specialised widebody "regional people mover" optimised for 1,850km (1,000nm) stages to replace the A300 - A30X. French avionics supplier Sagem says it has been discussing technologies for the A30X with Airbus over the past two months.
According to Sagem's head of flight controls, Philippe Gouze, the aircraft would be "derived from the A300, with a lighter, improved fuselage", while using a version of the A380's flight-control system with added functionality. The aim is to develop a simpler wing that is cheaper to build, but retains the performance of more complex designs.
Sagem foresees A30X development getting under way after most of the development work on the Airbus A400M military airlifter is completed by 2006. Service entry is expected in 10 years."
Overskriften til artikkelen er: "Airbus plans twin attack on 7E7" som tilsier at i motsetning til Boeing som går for 7E7-8 /-9 så vil Airbus ha A350 og A30X, to modeller som vil være ganske forskjellige. Interessant utvikling dette her. :spin:
