A retired Boeing engineer once told me, during the era prior to widebodies, Boeing stocked only one size of fuselage tube - just sliced it different lengths for the various models.The shape of the fueslage on a boeing is a well thought out design.
i spoke to an Airforce pilot and asked him whats better? a boeing or a Airbus he said
The boeing is better not by look by how it performs. Because of the FBW on the AB it doesnt have good low speed control and stuff like that. its true and i just cant remember what he said but it was the basis of the FBW on the airbuses are ruining it or something to that degree!
i think it was more like you dont get the feeling that your stalling with FBW then on and airbus.
Like theres no mechanics with the airbus right so instead of feeling the stall you cant and so on i know what it is i just cant explain it well enough

In the interest of aerodynamics, why did Boeing change the forward upper cockpit section over the front windscreens?
