Estimate from the variant's published specs, 0-5; scores are only comparable within one criteria year. Variant: A300B2-101/-1A (GE CF6-50, MTOW 137,000 kg / 302,000 lb), scored on Airbus's 1980 A300 airport-planning chart for model B2-101. Range: 269 passengers and baggage ~1,300 nm (read from graph; 2,050 nm with max fuel and ~38,000 lb payload) -> 0. Capacity: 269 passengers (Airbus chart point, class split unstated) -> 3.5. Efficiency: no fuel burn published for the B2 -> null. Speed: chart cruise Mach 0.78 -> 2. Runway: sea-level ISA takeoff field at 302,000 lb ~5,800 ft read from the Airbus graph (+/-300 ft) -> 5. Comfort: 5.64 m fuselage, 'spacious cabin' and 'Luxury Liner' reputation (Simple Flying), no cabin-altitude or noise figure; reviews cover the A300 generally (B1 test, Eastern B4 trial) rather than the B2 alone -> 3.5.[5]
Shortly after they started the day’s test program, the two pilots found that the aircraft reacted excessively when they initiated turns.
Built with a wide fuselage of 5.64 meters, the A300 offered a spacious cabin and a sense of onboard comfort to more city pairings and developed a reputation for being a 'Luxury Liner'.
The A300 was a great success in its trial period, except for a small amount of reaction towards Eastern being ‘unpatriotic’. The plane scored well across the board and showed significant fuel savings compared to the L-1011s and 727s.
The wings, designed by Hawker Siddeley, gave the airplane enough lift to climb faster and attain a level cruise altitude sooner than other passenger aircraft of the time, giving cabin crew more time for the in-flight service.
