Airbus Industrie A330
5 июня 1987 года после завершения предпроектных исследований было принято решение о начале полномасштабного проектирования самолетов A330 и A340, способных составить конкуренцию новейшим американским проектам Boeing 767 и 777. Оба новых самолета оптимизированы для эксплуатации на линиях большой протяженности с большим объемом пассажиропотоков. A330 и A340 стали первыми авиалайнерами, спроектированными по "безбумажной" технологии, с использованием компьютеров с программным обеспечением CAD. Самолеты A330 и A340 унифицированы по фюзеляжу, хвостовому оперению, шасси, оборудованию кабин и геометрии крыла. Двухдвигательный A330 предназначен для эксплуатации на линиях средней и большой дальности, A340 с четырьмя двигателями - на линиях очень большой протяженности. Конструкция крыла обоих самолетов в целом одинаковая и отличается лишь силовым набором и механизацией.
На обоих самолетах использована электродистанционная система управления полетом с боковыми ручками управления. Приборное оборудование выполнено по принципу "стеклянной кабины" с использованием цветных многофункциональных индикаторов. Экипаж - два человека. Фюзеляж круглого сечения не отличается от фюзеляжей самолетов A300 и A310, что позволило сэкономить на разработке салонов.
Ключевым фактором, увеличившим эффективность самолетов Airbus нового поколения, стало новое крыло на 40% большей площади, по сравнению с крылом самолета A300-600. Стреловидность крыла по четверти хорды 30 градусов. Новая форма крыла в плане позволила несколько снизить его лобовое сопротивление на крейсерской скорости полета.
Первый A330 впервые поднялся в воздух 2 ноября 1992 года, на самолете были установлены двигатели CF6-80E1A2 тягой по 300,25 кН. В качестве альтернативной силовой установки предусмотрено использование двигателей Rolls-Royce Trent 768/772 с большей тягой. Первый полет A330 с двигателями Rolls-Royce выполнил 31 января 1994 года, за ним последовал A330 с двигателями Pratt & Whitney PW4164/4168 тягой по 302,48 кН.
Европейский и американский сертификаты на модель с двигателями CF6 были получены в октябре 1993 года. Первый самолет A330 авиакомпания "Air Inter" получила в декабре 1993 года, а в январе 1994 года начала его эксплуатацию.
В 2009 году заказчикам предлагаются самолеты A330 в трех вариантах: исходный A330-300, более совершенный A330-200 и грузовой A330-200F. В разработке находится новая модель самолета с увеличенной на 5 т взлетной массой и увеличенной до 12 650 км дальностью полета. Считается, что данный вариант поддержит у вероятных заказчиков интерес к самолетам семейства A330, особенно на фоне аннулирования программы самолета Boeing 787. Базовый вариант A330-300 рассчитан на перевозку 335-440 пассажиров. В качестве силовой установки возможно использование двух двигателей CF6-80E1 или двух PW4164/4168, или двух Trent 768/772 тягой до 316,27 кН. Первый полет A330-200 выполнил 13 августа 1997 года, эксплуатация началась с апреля 1998 года. Основанный на A330-300, он рассчитан на большую дальность полета, имеет укороченный на 5,33 м фюзеляж и усиленное крыло от A340-300. A330-200 способен перевозить 380 пассажиров на расстояние более 12000 км, максимальная взлетная масса самолета доведена до 230000 кг.
Проект A330-400X представляет собой усиленный вариант A330-300 с теми же массовыми характеристиками и силовой установкой и с салонами двух классов для 370 пассажиров в удлиненном на 6,35 м фюзеляже; дальность полета 7300 км.
Ранее планировалось, что в 2009 году должны начаться поставки грузового варианта A330-200F. В передней части фюзеляжа сделана грузовая дверь по типу самолета A300-600F. Кроме того, в передней части фюзеляжа устроены блистеры, позволяющие осматривать носовую опору шасси. Самолет A330-200F предлагается вероятным заказчикам в варианте с двигателями Trent или PW4000.
Консорциум "Airbus" разработал многоцелевой транспортный самолет/самолет-заправщик A330 MRTT (Multi-Role Tanker Transport). Австралия заказала пять таких самолетов под обозначением KC-30A с началом поставок в 2009 году, хотя в октябре 2008 года представители EADS объявили о задержке с началом поставок на девять месяцев.
ВВС Великобритании выбрали A330-200 в качестве прототипа перспективного самолета-заправщика, принятие на вооружение первого самолета намечено на 2011 год. ВВС Великобритании намерены закупить 14 самолетов. EADS и "Northrop Grumman" представили самолет-заправщик KC-300 на базе A330 на конкурс самолета-заправщика KC-X для ВВС США, которым требуется 179 машин для замены устаревших заправщиков KC-135. Самолет KC-330 выиграл конкурс, но контракт на его поставку был оспорен фирмой "Boeing" и американскими политиками. Новое решение по самолету KC-X, как ожидается, будет принято в 2009 году.
Всего к ноябрю 2008 года "Airbus" получил заказов на 1012 самолетов серии A330.

Фирма "Airbus" представляла A330 лидером рынка, особенно из-за задержек с созданием лайнера Boeing 787. Однако в эпоху высоких цен на топливо A340 - четырехдвигательный собрат A330 - выглядел куда менее привлекательным.

Airbus celebrated a further milestone in a ceremony at Toulouse on December 14, 2007, when it handed-over its 5,000th aircraft, A330-202 VH-EBG (c/n 887, ex F-WWKD), to Australian flag carrier Qantas. This is the seventh of ten A330-200s ordered by the airline. Airbus delivered its first aircraft, an A300B2, in May 1974 and then it was to be 19 years before the 1,000th was delivered, in 1993. Reflecting rapid growth and expansion of products, the 2,000th followed only six years later, in 1999, the 3,000th in 2002, and the 4,000th in September 2005, whilst it only took another two years to reach the 5,000th milestone.

The first of four Airbus A330-200s to be converted as KC-30Bs for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) by Qantas Defence Services under the AIR 5402 tanker programme was the centrepiece of an induction ceremony on June 6, 2008. It took place at the Qantas Australian Conversion Centre at Brisbane Airport, Queensland, where the aircraft arrived in early June from the production line at Toulouse in France. The RAAF's initial KC-30B was modified in Madrid, Spain, by EADS CASA. Qantas will also provide in-service support for the fleet, which will enter service with the 'new' 33 Squadron. The final Boeing 707-338C(KC) tanker in service with 33 Squadron (A20-624, known as 'Richmond Town') was retired on June 30 at RAAF Base Richmond, after flying over Sydney Harbour bridge in the morning and over 33 Squadron's farewell parade in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the aircraft's appearance over Sydney (followed by a RAAF Hawk acting as a photo-platform) caused panic in some quarters after some assumed that the city was under attack by a hijacked airliner.
