An airplane is a vehicle able to carry passengers and loads from a point to another through the air. Nowadays the airplane is the most used vehicle to transport loads and it can also be consider the heart of the economy.
One of the most modern commercial airplane is the Boeing 737 Max. It was consider the safest airplane before the accident that occurred in Ethiopia on March 8, 2019. That day Ethiopian 737 max immediately after take off declared mayday and 6 minutes after it disappeared from radar screen and lost all the radio contacts. The plane was found few miles far away from Ethiopian coast.
Boeing company declared that it was a software error and since that day all Boeing 737 max are not flying, ICAO suppressed all 737 Max flights. Boeing has investigated on this accident and the result was an error on the anti-stall software.
This accident means a great opportunity for Airbus to open deals with new clients and so this case became a political issue, infact some newspapers said that the European community is helping Boeing with million dollars on loan. Donald Trump (the one that defence Airbus) threat Europe by imposing taxes on primary necessity goods.

Boeing 747 became the first airplane used for a commercial service, it flew from New York to London.
There are a lot of types of 747, the first was the 747-100s, in this aircraft we can find an upper deck that was just for premium passengers. The next 747 was the 747–200B, this aircraft increased fuel capacity and engine power. Just sixteen people can stay in the upper deck. Than we can find the 747-400, designed in 1988. His wingspan is 64 metres and it has 1,8 meter-high winglets on the wingtips.
This aircraft is important because it introduced a new glass cockpit. The last 747 introduced was the 747-8. The noise produced by this aircraft is really low if we compare it to the previous 747.
Boeing 747 was created and introduced in the intercontinental routes thanks to Juan Trippe and Panam
