Don’t you notice the that airbus puts something in-between their wings and fuselage. I have a feeling its a fuel tank...but I'm not sure.

Heres are pictures for comparison.

Really? I thought Airbus was designed by Europeans not by North Americans.

I'm sure its just different design philosophies...

*Boeing put their subsidies in the winglets and control columns... Grin

It's a result of bad design and having the parts made in seperate places...Airbus has to design adapter to keep the mis-matched pieces together.

Actually, it's just a fillet. Boeing has them too...they're are just less visible.

Looks to me to facilitate the gear retraction system design they used...

Yeah, you'll notice all airliners.net photos have another link just above the pic, saying please use this link, rather than copying and pasting the 10 mile long one from the address bar...

Well, the little bulges probably have a lot to do with the gear, but the also help make the wing-body connection aerodynamically efficient because it reduces drag that would be caused by air flowing in that sharp angle where the wing hits the body.
