Is the A350 or 747 bigger
However, in real terms, we can see that the 747 can carry more passengers plus three cabin classes compared to the Airbus A350-1000.
Is Airbus A350-900 bigger than Boeing 787
Generally speaking, the 787 is a slightly smaller aircraft than the A350, except that the longest 787 variant, the 787-10, is slightly longer than the shortest A350 variant, the A350-900, by 1.5m. Both the A350 and the 787 (all variants) are classified as FAA Group V aircraft with wingspans between 52m and 65m.
What is bigger A350 or 787
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.
What is the equivalent of A350 in Boeing
Boeing 787-9
The Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-9 are very similar aircraft, suited for similar missions. As one would expect, the slightly larger A350-900 has a seat-mile cost advantage, while the 787-9 has an advantage in cost per block hour.
Why is the A350 so popular
The A350 footprint is 52% smaller than that of the 747-400. When you combine the design and technology that Airbus have put into the build of the A350 with the efficiency of the Rolls Royce Trent XWB, you get the quietest, most efficient wide body long-haul aircraft in the skies.
Why is A350 special
The A350 is the first Airbus aircraft largely made of carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers. It has a new fuselage designed around a nine-abreast economy cross-section, up from the eight-abreast A330/A340. It has a common type rating with the A330.
Is A350 better than 777
Both aircraft offer a range suitable for the longest standard long-haul flights. The A350-1000 beats the 777-9 here, with a range of 7,992 nm (14,800 km). The 777-9 offers slightly less at 7,290 nm (13,500 km).
What is the rival of the A350
Boeing 787 Dreamliner
The global A350 fleet had completed more than 1,025,000 flights on more than 1000 routes without accidents. It succeeds the A340 and competes against Boeing's large long-haul twinjets: the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Boeing 777, and its successor, the 777X.
Why is the A350 so special
Aerodynamics. Talking of the wings, they play a massive part in the aerodynamic gains in the A350 design. What makes them so special is the way they've been designed to morph in flight, changing shape for maximum aerodynamic efficiency throughout the different phases of the journey.
Is the A350 quieter than the A380
The sound pressure levels of Airbus A380–800 were lowest among selected models, while the in-cabin pressure level values of Airbus A350-900 were maximum. However, the difference in decibel levels between the aircraft is minimal as it is within 3 dB.
Can an A380 pilot fly an A350
Cross Crew Qualification to the A350 is available for A320 Family, A340 and A380 pilots with durations of 11, 10 and 5 training days respectively. Commonality means less time spent training but it also facilitates Mixed Fleet Flying.
Why do pilots love A350
According to Commercial Pilot, the A350 offers pilots many benefits, such as improved fuel efficiency, increased passenger comfort, and the latest safety features. Additionally, the aircraft is reliable and efficient, and provides pilots with a modern and comfortable flight deck.
