If you've seen the statistics for the latest family addition, Airbus, the A350 XWB (Extra Wide Body) commercial aircraft, it would probably be confused with American rival Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It 's probably the years flying public to be able to distinguish the' plane in the air, or even if they are in the cabin.

The Boeing 787 is made of 50 percent carbon fiber, while the Airbus A350 is 53 percent carbon fiber. Both are long range and can fly at more than8,000 miles without refueling. In fact, in the long thin lines. Be slightly larger A350 will be somewhere between 300-400 seats, while the Boeing 787 will reach the largest model only 300 seats. Both models are available in three sizes, although the smaller version, the 787 based on comments from Boeing crashed.

Airbus is the A350, the consumption will be reduced by 25 percent. Airbus is bundled as a substitute for a 747 operator because of its size.The 787 claims of fuel efficiency 15 percent better on the supply of the same size as Boeing 767 and should, considering that was introduced 25 years after the Boeing 767.

The Airbus A350 has 505 orders from 32 customers during the Boeing 787 has 876 orders from 53 customers.

The A350-windows are large, more than 787. The list goes on.

When comparing the two plans, there are large differences between the two.

The A350 cockpit is an area that ischaracterized as a modern airliner. The cockpit has six large LCD display, the pilot all necessary information. In comparison, the A380 The A380 is the 10th test case for this new technology. This cockpit electronics have reduced the need for many individual circuit breakers. The switches have in the past, a problem for commercial aircraft and caused numerous accidents.

A major difference between the two is that the A350 stillin the planning phase, the Boeing 787 is now in flight test. The first new Airbus A350 will not leave in Toulouse, France for final assembly plant at about 2011th Airbus has already announced that the new aircraft into service in 2013, but learned from Airbus A380, and recently the 787, probably add two years to this planning . It was already rumored that the timeline A350 already postponed.

Boeing recently announced a further delaythe 787 and the first delivery of ANA will be held in the first quarter of 2011.

The market for aircraft design and the size of the aircraft shows that the aircraft is something like that. Both manufacturers have also pointed out is that they may appear similar, the real difference between the products of customer satisfaction is inside. With the new Boeing 787 was within a revolution, but came out first Airbus A380 interior rooms with showers and bar. Both companies haddifferent goals late Airbus A380 designed the largest and least successful, while Boeing bet its business on more modest 787 and a small change to 747, 747-8.

As mentioned, the biggest A350 100 more passengers than its rival will be worn. Boeing 787 designed to sit between the jet 737 and the 747-8 Intercontinental, a new model of the first jumbo world. The 747-8 is equipped with new engines and relaunched as a new model.

FirstThe evidence shows that the A350 is much more expensive then his rival, the Boeing 787 Given the size, this is a question of scale. The most expensive is the largest, the A380. The A350 has a list price of $ 225 – $ 285,000,000, while the Boeing 787 to $ 150 – $ 205,000,000, making a 787 item sale. From this list of airlines prices of trading is usually the price falls below list price. Based on the numbers, it seems clear to Boeing unless the A350 has proven to be verycheap for its size.

If a purchase of an aircraft carrier in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and looking at a sophisticated modern machinery, is not only a head-on comparison of price-performance ratio. It sometimes years of discussions between the aircraft manufacturer and the airline has for advertising and politics. Based on the fact that the 787 is in the air, and has a solid order book, the A350 has a long road ahead of them on the same level of coverageSuccess.

While the Boeing 787 could be ahead if the A350 hit the skies with paying passengers, the true test for the competition instead. We still have to wait several years before the Airbus A350, Boeing 787 and two defeats are common in our sky.
