My 1st Ride on Delta's Airbus A350-900 DL777 Las Vegas to Atlanta 'aka' The Silent Giant' (Cojo)

The 1st time ‪@ForFlyingOutLoud‬ and me ride on an Airbus A350-900 from Delta Airlines. He calls it the Silent Giant, it's that quiet. Very nice and comfortable, the only con was the USB ports were not working but other than that it was a really good flight.

Very nice - you guys were excited! You have to get on the A35K, maybe with JL, VR, BA, or QR? Even more powerful takeoff and much smoother landings with the larger MLG trucks.

This looks awesome….want to try this route with this aircraft 👍

I plane-spot from time to time, and I never got why it had the name “The Silent Giant.” When they fly right over you, they are definitely loud, until 6 months ago.
I was at a cars and coffee under the approach pattern for DTW. I heard most of the planes that day, maybe missing a CRJ every now and then.
I just so happened to look up at one point when the A350 was right above us coming in from Shanghai I believe. For only 3,500ft., it was incredibly quiet.
I’m a sucker for classic jets. The 727s at PTK to the north fly the approach pattern over my house and are pretty loud (not enough to wake you up). For around the same altitude of 3,500ft., definitely a big difference.
As much as I love old jets, it is crazy how a giant aircraft with such massive engines such as the A350 can be so quiet once it gets a little ways away from you. Truly a marvel of engineering.
Great video of your experience!
