What is good about A350?

The spacious interior, and the numerous little touches we've designed and added just for you. But equally impressive are some of the unseen innovations, because the A350 is the quietest and most economical long haul jet ever built. It's an incredible machine.

The A350 offers a new generation dual Head Up Display which provides pilots with enhanced situational awareness, projecting aircraft trajectory information on the external world, easing transition from IMC (Instrument meteorological conditions) to VMC (visual meteorological conditions) conditions.

While the 777X offers unrivalled dimensions, advanced materials, and cutting-edge engine technology, the A350 shines with its lightweight composite airframe, advanced aerodynamics, and superior fuel efficiency.

airbus a350-900 This airplane has a range of 8,000 nautical miles and can fly for up to 17 hours without needing to refuel. It is one of the most fuel-efficient planes in the world, thanks to its lightweight carbon fiber construction and advanced engines.

The A350 XWB is Airbus' shiny, sexy twin-engined plane, built with combination of carbon composites, titanium and aluminium. It's powered by two ultra-quiet Rolls Royce engines. Its 'extra-wide' cabin is designed to make passengers feel as comfortable one can without flying in a private jet.

The global A350 fleet had completed more than 1,175,000 flights on more than 1070 routes without accidents. It succeeds the A340 and competes against Boeing's large long-haul twinjets: the Boeing 787, the Boeing 777, and its successor, the 777X.

The aircraft incorporates advanced noise reduction technologies and sound-insulating materials to minimize engine noise and vibrations. The result is an overall remarkably quiet cabin environment.

The Dreamliner is slightly longer while the A350 is slightly wider, although both jets have identical maximum passenger capacities. In terms of performance, the A350 is ultimately a heavier aircraft with more fuel capacity and more powerful engines.

On an Airbus A350, you can be flying at 35,000 to 40,000 feet, but the cabin will be at around 5,500 feet. (On a conventional aluminium aircraft, the cabin will be around 8,000 feet.) This helps with the effects of jet lag and how you feel after a flight too. It's less fatiguing.

Cracks in the painted surface exposed gaps in a sublayer of A350 lightning protection, prompting its regulator to ground 29 of the jets. Airbus, based in Toulouse, France, has acknowledged quality flaws but insisted the jets are safe.

For instance, the Airbus A350-1000 has a service ceiling of 41,500 feet. The Boeing 787-8 and -9 Dreamliners, along with the much-anticipated 777X's, have a limit of 43,100 feet. The 787-10's is set for 41,100 feet.

Haven't flown those on BA, but the A350 is much quieter than the B777 and would be my choice for that reason alone. You're also likely to have a newer cabin, unless BA refurbished the 777s. Our flight between Denver and Heathrow is on an A350.

Current title holder for the aircraft with the longest ETOPS rating is the Airbus 350-900, certified to fly for up to 370 minutes on one engine. That gives it a maximum diversion distance up to 2500 nautical miles, or 4630 kilometres.

Qatar Airways grounded Airbus A350s over what it described as fuselages “degrading at an accelerated rate” in the long-range aircraft. The airline had raised questions about the A350s' carbon composite fuselage, designed to make the twin-aisle aircraft lighter and cheaper to operate by burning less jet fuel.

A better design. Winging it: The curves at the end of modern airplane wings are all about efficiency. As air flows around a plane's wings, it generates high pressure on the bottom surface and low pressure on the top one, which creates lift.
