I was hoping Rolls Royce was an option. One of my friends, both his parents work there. Creating parts for engines in airplanes and testing aluminum.
Airbus A380 holds more ppl, pretty efficient and its classy
This is gonna lead to some uninformed anti-US idiot saying "BOING SUXX CUZ THEYR T3H STUPID AMERIKANZ!!1~@@11".
Oh...and I voted Boeing.

Rolls Royce builds engines for aircraft. Both Airbus and Boeing use Rolls Royce powerplants on their aircraft.The_Mob_Returns wrote:

You could put a sick ass paintjob on the airbus as well. Functionality dictates design, and for oveall funtionality throughout their fleet, I'd have to give it to Airbus, although, if the 777 is one smooth plane. I was seriously impressed by how quiet it is, as well as the room it had.
boeing. I've flown on both. And when I was on the Airbus, all I heard was popping and creaking ... not something I want to hear at 35000 feet and 500mph over the Atlantic.
Rolls Royce makes engines ... but their best ones they stole from Allison

Boeing has a borader client range
i vote for airbus....that all im gonna say
787 Dreamliner, nuff said.
but for more clarification,
beauty
and some fine other boeing products:
not to mention the JDAM, Apache, SLAM. AWAC

I've flown on both Boeing and Airbus. Boeing's planes are much quieter and much more comfortable.
Voted for Boeing, but better is subjective. Boeing (and McDonnell-Douglas, now part of Boeing) builds planes so well, they out live their market life. Technology has allowed Airbus to build lighter and cheaper airplanes that have shorter airframe lives. They can be retired before they get too expensive to operate and that works with business models. Boeing is now struggling to catch up, but has some work in progress (7e7). They probably won't build anything as big as the A380 in the near future, but no one knows yet what the A380 will mean to the market (can you imagine the first A380 crash?) in the future. Airbus is probably around to stay and certainly has as much heritage as Boeing, but I'm still a Boeing fan. Ask your grandfather what brought him home during WWII and if he was a bomber, it was probably a Boeing!

Boeing hands down
boeing=b-2, ea-18, fa-18, f-15 (your own sig usaf dude, cmon, you should know that), fa-22, t-45 (wacky look it up!), x-45 (super smacky wacky, super look it up!!!!), just to name a few of the fighters currently in production (the f-14 was a god among fighters, but will be decom'ed september),
as well as c-17, air force one, APACHE, CHINOOK, osprey, AWACS, UAV's (come one ppl, half the bf2 aerial arsenal!!), in fact, here, take a look
http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices/gallery/index.html
airbus= engines have a reputation for landing before the rest of the plane does, it was the design asthetic not the paint job he was pointing out with the whale jet, and of course that certain french "je nais ses quois"
which of course adds up to:
/fail
edit: boeing didn't even have to wake up for this one, and to be fair, most of the USAF boeing fleet comes through the base I"m at, so I was a little up on this one

What most of you all are forgetting is that Boeing has been building quality military and civilian planes as an indepedant company since the early days of aviation. Airbus is new to the mix and was a cooperation between several european companies. Bah. I'm all about Boeing.
considering it means, "I don't know what" I think mis-spelling it has a certain sense of poetic justice about it ...
