Airbus A350's dream getting closer and closer.

As a result of these criticisms, in mid-2006 Airbus undertook a major review of the A350 concept. The proposed new A350 was to become more of a competitor to the larger Boeing 777 as well as some models of the Boeing 787, with a larger fuselage cross-section able to accommodate 9 passengers per row in a high-density configuration. The A330 and previous iterations of the A350 would only be able to accommodate 8 passengers per row in normal configurations. The 787 can accommodate 8 or 9 passengers per row, while the 777 can accommodate 9 passengers per row (a few airlines seat 10 passengers abreast in some of their 777s). From the point of view of a seated passenger, the A350 cabin is 13 cm (5.1 in) wider at eye level than the competing Boeing 787, and 28 cm (11 in) narrower than the Boeing 777, its other competitor. (See wide-body aircraft for a comparison of cabin widths and seating). All A350 passenger models will have a range of at least 8,000 nmi (15,000 km).

There was some speculation that the revised aircraft would be called the Airbus A370 or A280, with Airbus going as far as accidentally publishing an advert referring to the aircraft as the "A280" on the Financial Times website. However, on 17 July 2006, at the Farnborough Airshow, Airbus announced that the redesigned aircraft would be called A350 XWB (Xtra Wide-Body).

jeez...stop fighting here, this is a video of the old design concept, the plane is based on the a330 anyways... boeing isnt always the best actually, some times airbus is beter, and sometimes boeing is better...overall boeing has powerfull engines and airbus makes more hi-tech aircraft, also...lottowinner999 you should know that you should stop spamming on a350 related videos, if you wanna fight just then PM...either on FB etc, you wanna fight to win right? is this what america is all about

@scottster97 Yes! Airbus might have the spotlight right now what with the A380, but Boeing is the one for me :) I am in love with their aircraft.
