Airbus 300B Origins & Projects

A bunch of Nord N600 wind tunnel models of differing configs

 
I did read something whereby the design basis of the A300 was "don't do whatever Boeing and MDD are doing". Now that's probably a flippant remark by someone on the design team but when youve worked on both, you tend to see things that, on an Airbus, are clearly opposite to a Boeing, such as routing of pipes and cables, the operation of slats, the layout inside wheelwells and so on.
