Airbus A350 XWB

Conceived from the outset to become a comprehensive airliner Family, the A350 XWB (extra wide-body) will be available in three basic passenger versions, flying up to 350 passengers on a range of more than 15,750 km / 8,500 nm. The latest innovations in terms of advanced technologies will be incorporated in the airliner Family, including all-new, easy-to-maintain, and much lighter Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) paneled fuselage skins. Furthermore it is designed to confront the challenges of high fuel prices, rising passenger expectations, and environmental concerns in that market segment. The A350 XWB was given its industrial launch in December 2006 and its entry into service is planned for 2013.

Airbus cabin vision mock up

A350 "Internal fittings/lobby".
The passengers in the A350 can enjoy the most progressive and comfortable cabins of their class. The entrance area was drawn in a new round design, which also includes the door area and an elegant integration of facilities like kitchen, toilettes and recreation areas. Airlines are thus in the position to offer its passengers more space and a personal welcome in the entrance area. The new design emerged from the cooperation between the Airbus Design Teams in Hamburg and Toulouse and the Londoner Design Company Priestman Goode. The A350 will offer the Airlines the cabin, which has been most versatile until now and allow them to re-configure the seating arrangement, toilettes and kitchen in a simple manner in order to be able to convert their strategies and to quickly react to market requirements.
