What is Airbus newest plane?

The A350 features new composite wings with a wingspan that is common to the proposed variants. Its 64.75 m (212.4 ft) wingspan stays within the same ICAO Aerodrome Reference Code E 65m limit as the A330/A340 and the Boeing 777.



In early 2026, the Airbus A321XLR is the newest aircraft to have recently entered full commercial service, representing the cutting edge of single-aisle long-haul travel. This "eXtra Long Range" narrow-body jet has a range of up to 4,700 nautical miles, allowing airlines to fly thin, long-distance routes that previously required much larger, more expensive twin-aisle planes. Additionally, Airbus is currently in the late stages of testing the A350F, the freighter version of its successful A350 wide-body, which is slated for its first flight and market entry around this period. Looking further ahead, the company is actively flight-testing hydrogen propulsion technologies on an A380 testbed as part of its "ZEROe" project, aiming for a zero-emission commercial aircraft by 2035. For passengers in 2026, the A321XLR is the most significant "new" arrival at the gate, offering upgraded "Airspace" cabins that provide wide-body comfort, including larger overhead bins and modern lighting, on routes like London to Delhi or New York to Rome.
