Airliners Gallery

Civil aviation is a wonder of technology and design, and aircraft manufacturing is the heart of the global transportation system. Planes crafted worldwide, from the USA to Russia, Brazil to Europe, shrink distances, connect continents, and unite people and cultures. Each model – from compact regional jets to massive intercontinental airliners – blends engineering brilliance with the aesthetics of the sky. My collection of drawn airliners, from timeless classics to cutting-edge modern designs, reflects the diversity and beauty of civil aviation. Welcome to my airliners gallery!

"The airplane is not just a machine, but a tool that unveils the wonders of the world to us."

New aircrafts in the collection

Updated aircraft models

The first version of the Tu-154 model appeared in my collection in 2015. From time to time, I made some adjustments, refining and correcting certain aspects. As time passed, I mastered new techniques, developed my own approaches, and software capabilities evolved. Most importantly, I gained experience. After ten years, the model was practically begging for an update to meet modern standards. Delaying further was no longer an option.

Before you is a completely redrawn Tu-154M and Tu-154B aircraft models created from scratch. By combining various image creation techniques, I was able to more accurately depict even the smallest details and add depth. As a result, the models now looks far more realistic.

Aerospatiale & BAC

French Aérospatiale and British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) were pivotal in 20th-century aviation. Aérospatiale, formed in 1970 by merging French firms, excelled in military and civil aircraft engineering. BAC, established in 1960, consolidated British companies like Vickers and Bristol, leading in innovative aircraft, including fighters and airliners. In 1962, they partnered to develop the supersonic Concorde. Combining resources and expertise, Aérospatiale designed the fuselage and wings, while BAC handled engines and the tail. This collaboration, a precursor to Airbus, marked a milestone in European aviation cooperation.

Concorde

Concorde, born from Aérospatiale and BAC’s partnership, was the world’s first supersonic passenger jet. Its maiden flight occurred in 1969, with commercial service starting in 1976. Capable of Mach 2.04, it halved transatlantic flight times. Its sleek delta-wing design and Olympus engines made it an aviation icon. Despite high costs and noise issues limiting its market, Concorde flew for Air France and British Airways until 2003. It showcased a technological leap and Franco-British ambition.

Airbus

Airbus A300

Airbus A220

Airbus, founded in 1970, embodies European collaboration in aerospace. Formed as a consortium of French, German, British, and Spanish manufacturers, it aimed to challenge American giants like Boeing. Headquartered in Toulouse, France, Airbus operates production facilities across Europe. Renowned for innovation, it pioneered fly-by-wire technology with the A320, revolutionizing aircraft control. Airbus is committed to sustainability, exploring hydrogen-powered engines and eco-friendly solutions. Today, it stands as one of the world’s leading commercial aircraft manufacturers, delivering airliners globally. Airbus’s success stems from cooperation, engineering excellence, and strategic vision.

The Airbus A220 family, originally developed as the Bombardier CSeries, joined Airbus’s portfolio in 2018. Comprising the A220−100 and A220−300 models, these aircraft seat 100−150 passengers. Renowned for efficiency and comfort, they feature Pratt & Whitney PW1500G engines, offering up to 20% fuel savings compared to peers. Ideal for regional routes, the A220 boasts a range of up to 6,700 km. Advanced technologies and low operating costs make it a favorite among airlines like Air Canada and Swiss. The A220 has solidified Airbus’s presence in the regional jet market.

The Airbus A300, launched in 1974, was Airbus’s first aircraft, laying the foundation for the company’s success. This wide-body jet, designed for 250−300 passengers, served medium- and long-haul routes with a range of up to 7,500 km. Powered by General Electric CF6 or Pratt & Whitney JT9D engines, the A300 offered efficiency and reliability, competing with American rivals. Its spacious cabin and large cargo hold made it popular with both passenger and cargo airlines, such as FedEx. The A300 introduced innovations, including a twin-engine layout for wide-body aircraft, setting a new standard. Around 560 units were produced, and while passenger versions are phasing out, cargo A300s remain in service, highlighting the durability of this trailblazer.

The Airbus A320 family, launched in 1988, is one of aviation’s most successful lines. Comprising the A318, A319, A320, and A321, it accommodates 100−240 passengers. The A320 pioneered fly-by-wire technology, enhancing control and safety. Fuel-efficient engines like CFM56 and V2500, and in the neo series, PW1100G and LEAP-1A, reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%. Versatile for short- and medium-haul routes, the A320 offers a range of up to 6,100 km. Its spacious cabin and modular design have made it a favorite among airlines like Lufthansa and EasyJet. With over 11,000 units produced, the A320 family remains a global benchmark in the narrow-body aircraft market.

The Airbus A330 family, launched in 1994, is a cornerstone of Airbus’s wide-body lineup. Including the A330−200, A330−300, and later the A330neo, it seats 250−300 passengers with a range of up to 13,400 km. Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent, General Electric CF6, or Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines (Trent 7000 for neo), A330s offer fuel efficiency and reliability. Their versatility supports both regional and transoceanic flights, making them favorites among airlines like Delta and Turkish Airlines. The spacious cabin and low operating costs drive the A330's success. Over 1,500 units have been produced, including cargo and military variants, underscoring the family’s flexibility and longevity.

The Airbus A340 family, launched in 1993, was designed for long-haul flights. Comprising the A340−200, -300, -500, and -600 models, it seats 250−370 passengers with a range of up to 16,600 km. Powered by four CFM56 or Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines, the A340 offered reliability on transcontinental routes, especially over oceans where twin-engine aircraft faced restrictions. Its spacious cabin and comfort made it popular with airlines like Lufthansa and Virgin Atlantic. Though overtaken by more efficient twin-engine jets, the A340's impact on long-haul travel is significant. Around 380 units were produced, with some still in use, particularly in cargo and VIP configurations, highlighting the family’s enduring legacy.

The Airbus A350 family, launched in 2015, represents the pinnacle of Airbus technology. Comprising the A350−900 and A350−1000 models, it seats 300−410 passengers with a range of up to 18,000 km. Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, the A350 achieves up to 25% fuel savings thanks to composite materials, which make up over 50% of the structure, and aerodynamic design. The spacious cabin, with larger windows, improved air quality, and lower noise levels, enhances passenger comfort. The A350 is ideal for ultra-long-haul routes, serving airlines like Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines. Innovations, such as adaptive wings, have solidified its status as a key competitor to Boeing’s 787. Over 600 units have been produced, underscoring its success.

The Airbus A380, launched in 2007, is the world’s largest passenger aircraft. This double-deck jet accommodates up to 853 passengers in a single-class layout and has a range of up to 15,200 km. Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 900 or Engine Alliance GP7200 engines, the A380 combines power with efficiency, offering low per-seat costs. Its spacious cabin, with wide aisles, lounges, and luxury features like bars and showers, made flights unforgettable for passengers of airlines like Emirates and Singapore Airlines. Despite its popularity with travelers, high operating costs and a limited market led to production ending in 2021. With 251 units built, the A380 remains a symbol of Airbus’s ambition.
