Field marks

  1. Visibly fatter, deeper engine pods than the ceo — the single fastest ceo-vs-neo tell side by side
  2. Same four wheels per main landing-gear leg as the ceo, unlike any 777 or A350-1000
  3. Rounded, plain cockpit windows (no dark raccoon-mask band) separate it from the similarly-sized A350-900
  4. Longer, more curved wingtip blade than the ceo's, closer in style to the A350's

Size and shape, to scale

Photos can't hold a consistent scale from shot to shot — these silhouettes are all drawn at the same 10 px = 1 m scale, so the proportions here are trustworthy even though the photos above aren't.

Variant notes

  • The A330-900 (same 63.7 m body as the ceo -300) is by far the more common variant; the shorter A330-800 has sold poorly and is rare
  • Only one engine option, the Trent 7000, so every neo has the same distinctively large engine-pod profile
  • Extended-span wing with A350-style curved upturned blade tips, about 3.7 m longer than the ceo's wingspan
