Had the chance to fly both, the new A350 XWB and the new B789 within a day and I must say that the AB is far superior over the B. It’s much quieter, has less dry air and has a much better overall feel...looking forward flying the XWB again next week...
Yep, I agree. The 787 is actually nothing special to fly on, apart from the huge windows. In the now-standard 3-3-3 configuration, it's very cramped. The A350 is more spacious and feels better.
Also been multiple times on both, A350 is far better - smoothest ride I've experienced. Dreamliner rattles badly on uneven runways and feels cheap. The seats always have some issues.
Actually the A350 and the 787 are not in the same size class. The A350 is large, and competes with the 777. The 787 is a little bigger than the 767. But I wouldn't be surprised the Airbus would try to take some of these concepts. After all, Boeing was the first to lower the cabin altitude and add a humidifier on their jets. This was something Airbus copied when making the plane. In fact, the very first video I saw on TH-cam was how in order to create the A350, Airbus basically stole the design of the 787's wings, and systems and taped them onto and into a A330 body.
@@jhmcd2 They were in development at the same time, and Boeing rushed the release of the 787 somewhat, with some issues as a result. As for size, the a350 is somewhere in between the 787-9 and 777-200.
i flew in an airbus a350 less than a month ago and i must say that it was really good, it was impressively quiet and comfortable! i really enjoyed flying in one!
@@zaheerzazei362 I haven't flown in a 777, but I have flown in a dream liner 787 and that thing is nice too, but I personally felt slightly more comfortable in the a350

Should have mentioned the Airbus variable camber system the plane uses in the “new technologies” part. Absolutely incredible what the computers can do. Up to 4 degrees of flap deflection (can be asymmetrical also!) inboard or outboard, are used during flight to optimize trim and drag automatically depending on the detected center of gravity. Can also be used to move the wings loading inboard or outboard - this allows them to be able to build the plane even lighter and optimize lift occasionally for very heavy takeoffs or in hot/high regions. The redundancy is also truly spectacular, even compared to the 787. It has 8 pitot static sensor ports with an additional standby tube, four AoA sensors (3 also do other stuff) - hell it even has 3 side slip sensors. You can lose 100% of your hydraulic systems on an A350 and not only will it still fly well, but you’ll even keep autopilot. 😦

Interesting tidbit: when Airbus originally proposed the "A350" it was essentially a highly modified A330 model. It was only in consultation with several airlines that Airbus decided to develop an all-new plane, the A350XWB, which was designed to better compete against the Boeing 777. Even more interesting, when Airbus started the A330neo project, it had many of the aspects of the original A350 proposal. Airbus is currently seriously looking at making a higher mean takeoff weight (MTOW) version of the A350XWB-1000. This will allow the A350XWB-1000 to fly as far as 9,000 nautical miles.
@@johng669 not really, it IS supposed to replace 767 but it's an all new jet, however i have a feeling dreamliner is going to be on the decline especially with boeing moving their production to SC, due to really bad reputation (ask qatar maybe)

I agree. I have flown every current jet in service excluding the A350, and was more than impressed with the A380, it is just in a different category of comfort for those long flights.
has anyone seen the investigative documemtary on Boeing 787 models?? It is titled "Broken Dreams" if I'm not wrong, where the builders of the plane themselves said that they wouldn't think of flying in a boeing because they saw how the FAA had bent its rules just to get the 787 up in the sky.
I love this plane.... The quality and finish, sleekness, quietness and comfort, is far superior to Boeing.... A bit like a European car vs an American car.... Will be flying her on Lufthansa in August from Munich to Singapore.... Can't wait..... Ytb 😜😄😇
Gary Haber Yes!! I flew from SFO->HKG twice with A350 and 3 times with 777. The noise inside 777 is terrible for long haul flight. A350 is like Mercedes S Class, so much more comfortable!
As to date the 350 has had a better run with less safety and reliability issues then the much hyped Dreamliner which has been a nightmare for some airlines.Thank you for lovely video.
@Zeksteve the dedicated Wikipedia article for the 787's battery issues says at least 4. I remembered it as being more, but I was thinking of the fuel leaks which affected many more aircraft. Nothing major though, just burning batteries and leaking fuel ;) much better to make fun of a statement you misremembered
Zeksteve If I'm not mistaken it's was an Ethiopian Dreamliner that first had a battery overheat and resulting fire. It was a couple of my ex colleagues at LHR that towed the aircraft onto a remote stand after it had arrived earlier. Boeing tried every which way to point the finger of blame firmly at these two unfortunate guys on the initial investigation
(2:15 - 2:51) Love your sense of humor. I also sometimes imagine a board of executives at a meeting to make a big marketing decision such as naming a new product. Then I always wonder about the one guy, which could be you or me, saying "C'mon guys. Seriously? We're going to call a silent, electric SUV a MUSTANG?? As Sully would say, can we get serious now?"
Actually, the HUD option was available for Boeing aircraft long before the 787. The 727, and 737 origional, classic, and NG series were all available with the option for a HUD. Airlines didn't really see a necessity, so they tended to not have the option installed, but it's been around in Boeing aircraft for a very long time.
@@DC8Super72 take a look at the Boeing 737 technical guide. Has a good amount of info on the HGS. For the 737, the HGS was certified in 1994 for the 737 classic. The first HGS was fitted to a Morris air 737-300, that was delivered in 1995, years before the NG was released
I work as a cabin crew on both aircrafts, my conclusions are that the 787 is Boeing’s second worst after the 767, cramped. I was very favorably impressed by the silence on take off when I was next to door 1L, instantly thought the opposite the second I went to the crew rest area. On my first flight we had a major water leak issue in the G1 galley that could not be tapped so we’ve had to remove the water constantly until the tank was depleted, as we were two hours away from the next terrain. The rear galley is somewhat unpractical, with a number of extra movements needed to remove the trolleys, for instance. It is a vast galley though, and that is nice. The -350 is (in my view) Airbus’s best production to date, at least regarding my own function aboard. Note: the best aircraft for me is the 777 by far, and I have a thing for the -380.
Do you ever consider the costs of products? If an aircraft is a little noisier then another or springs a water leak in the galley once in a while but is $75,000,000 cheaper in price then that plush aircraft some would opt for the noisy plane.
I hate when people start discussing which plane is better, both airbus and boeing are amazing companies and both of them respect each other, why people can't follow that example instead of fighting saying nonsense to each other??
There is no 'nonsense', both planes have their pro's but having flown both, I find the Airbus superior. The A350 and A380 are definitely the best types I've flown on, and I've flown on them all. Boeing was certainly brave with the Dreamliner, and really pushed the envelope way ahead technologically, but they overstretched themselves and the programme was a commercial and organisational shambles. The 787-8 is a compromised machine, the -9 made a lot of improvements apparently. And Airbus probably learned from watching: the A350 is ambitious but not quite as over-ambitious as the 787, and it had a much smoother arrival.
While I do love this, (HUUUGE Airbus fan, I'd love to see another A330neo video out there soon.) there are going to be some Boeing fans out there too, so please make a 787 video to appeal to all audiences.

I love this aircraft. Singapore to Stockholm was super comfortable. Flight Singapore over Malaysia, Thailand, Calcutta, Nepal, Aral, Moscow, Baltic Sea to Stockholm. At most 12000+ m above sea level in -65 celsius and 200km/h head wind. Still I could just enjoy my beer and watch a good movie.
+Skyships Eng; I'm not a plane-fanatic, but, I DO enjoy hearing about certain planes throughout the history, and I ALWAYS love your videos, because not only are they interesting - and you know what you're taking about - but you also make them with a touch of humour (some people load WAY too much, 'HA-HA-stuff, and make their topic secondary, as a result🤨). I just paused the video at what I think is a really good shot which shows off beautifully something you rarely see in... almost any type of plane (4:33) . The view's JUST like being in a 4-wheeled vehicle, because, look out those windows! Not just in front, but, all around to the sides. Really nice! Keep up making some of the most enjoyable aviation videos around! A fan.
A worn out meme, but to answer: the 787 is not the most advanced, and compare the intro of the 787 with that of the A350: both were late, but the 787 was plagued with fires, weight issues and engine troubles. The intro of the A350 yas been fairly smooth, and it has met its weight, performance and economy figures, something the 787 still struggles with.
Owen Shebbeare your absolutely right! But the 787 has recorded phenomenal sales, with over 992 as of December 2020, but the a350 has recorded 300 sales only or so. I actually love both! How about you?
The A350 is an amazing plane, have flown with it several times now - definitely prefer it to the 777’s I’ve flown with. But yes, XWB does seem a rather uninspiring name for such a great plane.
People are wicked.... you have over 25 million views and you don't even have two hundred thousand subscribers..... it's very unfortunate how much people View and don't subscribe... you deserve more than this
Yeah but the A350 is vastly better for comfort. Even the 777X family only gives you 17.4" wide seats at 10-abreast. The A350 gives you 18" wide seats at 9-abreast.

@@antoniosoares1580 The 777 has a top operating speed of Mach 0.88, vs. 0.81 for the A330. In terms of commercial success, well I think it's fairly obvious that the 787 is going to stand above the A330 NEO. The efficiency and economics are incomparable.
@@patrickproctor3462 That is not that true, im not defending airbus or boeing this is a completely unbiased comment, the A330 neo is more profitable in terms of short haul flights which is about 5-6 hours maximun thanks to the new aero and engines, the A330 neo was not originally thought to compete with the 787 on long haul flights, but on shorter ones, the efficiency on the 787 is almost uncomparable in terms of long haul flights but these 2 are not to compete in the same field, one is for more pax on short haul keeping efficiency and the other one is designed for max efficiency on long haul flights.
Yeah, silly name. I mean, it's sized in between a 787 and a 777, so it's not really 'Xtra' wide in general. But as the 787 and A350 are usually configured in 3-3-3, the Airbus is much less cramped and nicer to fly on.
You get 18 inch seats instead of 17 with the 787, but it's too narrow for almost all airlines to consider squeezing in 10 abreast. In other words, it's less cramped than the 9 abreast 787 and the 10 abreast 777.
@@sturmbreakers7817 www.airlinereporter.com/2016/01/777-9-vs-10-abreast-in-economy/ “Airline acceptance of the 777 at 10-abreast has continued to grow over the years, now accounting for over 50 percent of recent 777 deliveries.

A350 is between 787 and 777. Airbus did respect, the 777 is a great aircraft and it wasn't the target to fight the 777. And for Point-To-Point, the 777 is to big.

A-350 end A-330 neo super aircraft
I love wide bodied aircraft. Keep building the A380 and 747(please).
I really like the new a350, but my ultimate favorite will always be the A380 flagship. It's a rolls Royce with wings! Trents sound nice too!👍
I agree. I have flown every current jet in service excluding the A350, and was more than impressed with the A380, it is just in a different category of comfort for those long flights.
@@Hattonbank That's what I love about airbus
the a380 was great to fly on
I purchased and Downloaded A350 manual, I wanted to know something about the Plane I’d spend 17.5 hours on. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
when you will be able to build an airplane,call it in your way (respect to Airbus)
Shame to speaker not to Airbus. 👎
has anyone seen the investigative documemtary on Boeing 787 models?? It is titled "Broken Dreams" if I'm not wrong, where the builders of the plane themselves said that they wouldn't think of flying in a boeing because they saw how the FAA had bent its rules just to get the 787 up in the sky.
i think that 787s is only bad when it's built at SC no? but since boeing says it's moving 787s production to SC then i'm declining 787s after this
Flew on an Ethiopian A350. Very quiet aircraft. Loved it.
I love this plane.... The quality and finish, sleekness, quietness and comfort, is far superior to Boeing.... A bit like a European car vs an American car....
Will be flying her on Lufthansa in August from Munich to Singapore....
Can't wait.....
Ytb 😜😄😇
Gary Haber Yes!! I flew from SFO->HKG twice with A350 and 3 times with 777. The noise inside 777 is terrible for long haul flight. A350 is like Mercedes S Class, so much more comfortable!
@Larry Summers haha, u mad bro
Yes indeed, like a Fiat compared to a Lincoln
The U.S should pull their B-52s out of the U.K airbases. They are Boeing trash! Maybe they could defend themselves with the A400M
Americans angry at nothing, as usual
Heavy accent is what gives this video a soul.
Will be flying on this Gem from SFO to SIN in November 2019. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Loved your short film! Thank you!
As to date the 350 has had a better run with less safety and reliability issues then the much hyped Dreamliner which has been a nightmare for some airlines.Thank you for lovely video.
Air New Zealand who were one of the initial users had their 787s grounded and they had to lease Airbus 330 in the meantime..what an irony??
@Zeksteve There was a major battery issue with the 787 around when it launched, too
@Zeksteve the dedicated Wikipedia article for the 787's battery issues says at least 4. I remembered it as being more, but I was thinking of the fuel leaks which affected many more aircraft. Nothing major though, just burning batteries and leaking fuel ;) much better to make fun of a statement you misremembered
Zeksteve
If I'm not mistaken it's was an Ethiopian Dreamliner that first had a battery overheat and resulting fire. It was a couple of my ex colleagues at LHR that towed the aircraft onto a remote stand after it had arrived earlier. Boeing tried every which way to point the finger of blame firmly at these two unfortunate guys on the initial investigation
The battery issue was handled expeditiously. The Trent 1000 issues go on and on.
(2:15 - 2:51) Love your sense of humor. I also sometimes imagine a board of executives at a meeting to make a big marketing decision such as naming a new product. Then I always wonder about the one guy, which could be you or me, saying "C'mon guys. Seriously? We're going to call a silent, electric SUV a MUSTANG?? As Sully would say, can we get serious now?"
Actually, the HUD option was available for Boeing aircraft long before the 787. The 727, and 737 origional, classic, and NG series were all available with the option for a HUD. Airlines didn't really see a necessity, so they tended to not have the option installed, but it's been around in Boeing aircraft for a very long time.
727 never had a HUD. 737 NG was the first Boeing aircraft to have the system.
@@DC8Super72 yes, the 727 was retrofitted with a HUD in 1987 when it was being updated for CAT III approval
@@DC8Super72 take a look at the Boeing 737 technical guide. Has a good amount of info on the HGS. For the 737, the HGS was certified in 1994 for the 737 classic. The first HGS was fitted to a Morris air 737-300, that was delivered in 1995, years before the NG was released
Alaska was one of the few to actually take advantage of the 727 HGS, retrofitting all of their 727 aircraft with the flight dynamics HGS in 1991
Same for airbus
I work as a cabin crew on both aircrafts, my conclusions are that the 787 is Boeing’s second worst after the 767, cramped.
I was very favorably impressed by the silence on take off when I was next to door 1L, instantly thought the opposite the second I went to the crew rest area.
On my first flight we had a major water leak issue in the G1 galley that could not be tapped so we’ve had to remove the water constantly until the tank was depleted, as we were two hours away from the next terrain.
The rear galley is somewhat unpractical, with a number of extra movements needed to remove the trolleys, for instance.
It is a vast galley though, and that is nice.
The -350 is (in my view) Airbus’s best production to date, at least regarding my own function aboard.
Note: the best aircraft for me is the 777 by far, and I have a thing for the -380.
Do you ever consider the costs of products? If an aircraft is a little noisier then another or springs a water leak in the galley once in a while but is $75,000,000 cheaper in price then that plush aircraft some would opt for the noisy plane.
I hate when people start discussing which plane is better, both airbus and boeing are amazing companies and both of them respect each other, why people can't follow that example instead of fighting saying nonsense to each other??
Boeing vs. Bombardier fiasco. That's why.
Agreed
I'd Disliked this video
See..they are jack of all trade masters of none. Give them anything and they can do the comparison. Except to compare they own brains.
Because the nonsensly nimsy naturaly nosens saying neighbors said nope.
There is no 'nonsense', both planes have their pro's but having flown both, I find the Airbus superior. The A350 and A380 are definitely the best types I've flown on, and I've flown on them all. Boeing was certainly brave with the Dreamliner, and really pushed the envelope way ahead technologically, but they overstretched themselves and the programme was a commercial and organisational shambles. The 787-8 is a compromised machine, the -9 made a lot of improvements apparently. And Airbus probably learned from watching: the A350 is ambitious but not quite as over-ambitious as the 787, and it had a much smoother arrival.
Best aircraft ever. Fantastic Engineering work.
Simply great aircraft : fly it all the time 👍
Huge life long Boeing fan here, also a private pilot. I respect beautiful aircraft, regardless the manufacturer.🙏🇺🇸👍
U.S. PATRIOT Airbus is much safer and more advanced overall. Just facts.
Yeah? well more advanced isn't always better is it? ever heard of a little airplane called........ THE B-52?!!!! It is VERY unsafe for its enemies.
@@JC-sf6sf It's not safe when vertical stabilizers fall off while in flight.
Love both Airbus and Boeing! Who else?
Jay Walking how's loving that Boeing going for you? Haha
I like both
Airbus ❤️
Love both, prefer Airbus...
XWB or BWX or WXB this A350 is simply perfect. ¡Just the best in this moment!
While I do love this, (HUUUGE Airbus fan, I'd love to see another A330neo video out there soon.) there are going to be some Boeing fans out there too, so please make a 787 video to appeal to all audiences.
That VIP version ... 🥳
Love it. She’s a beauty! 😍😍
Looks superb
Great video! Much good information.
Bravo! Bravo!
Hello as a spotter i have a question Airbus since you make more and more different aircraft can you put the type logo on the planes????👍🇳🇱
I know nothing about planes. I have no interest in them. But for some reason I stumbled upon one of this guys videos and now I watch them regularly. He is so nice to listen to haha.
B787 or a350?
For me i kinda like the a350
I've been on many 787s, but no a350s yet ._.
A350
A350 100%
350 ♥️
I like the design for the A350, but the wings from the 787...
How abaout A350 with B787 wings?
I fucking love this plane. It's fast, it's quiet, it's high pressure, it lands like butter, and it's ridiculously long ranged (20+ hour flights!)
A350: extra wide body ??
A380: are you mocking me ??
A380: Owb (over wide body)
A380 is categorised as a Jumbo not even a fat body at that. 😁
A380 is the XXWB
@@auz17 Actually Superjumbo.
@@auz17 A380 is SuperJumbo, not merely Jumbo. THe 747 is the Jumbo.
others : financial jokes
me : those bandit eyes kinda cool
Have had the pleasure to fly 350XWB, it's ahead of 777 (which is very nice plane too) and 787 too.
as many 777 fans say how 777x is so much better than a350, they haven't seen how high technology it is
Normally the narrator does both metric and SAE measurements. For some reason, this one listed miles a time or two and not at all in the measurements. I am OK at getting a general idea in my head, but it is never all that close.
I've watched over half of your videos (and still watching). As others have said, he has a strong accent, but is very clear. After a couple of episodes, I kind of forgot about it. I will say one thing I like about your channel is you never beg for likes or subscribes like so many channels. Your great content speaks for itself. I have told friends about the channel and a few have also subscribed as they liked it too. Your channel is simply great. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep on watching. :-)
You know its a special day when sky uploads
I love this aircraft. Singapore to Stockholm was super comfortable. Flight Singapore over Malaysia, Thailand, Calcutta, Nepal, Aral, Moscow, Baltic Sea to Stockholm. At most 12000+ m above sea level in -65 celsius and 200km/h head wind. Still I could just enjoy my beer and watch a good movie.
A350-900
Airbus all the way 💙💙
Both Airbus and Boeing have achieved some remarkable achievements, just think about if the Wright brothers were to see our advancements.
You should be imagining what the Wright brothers would think if they saw the evolution of THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS !
Simply love you AIRBUS
oh my god the plane is so beautiful i am going to cry
2:45 the rage is real
+Skyships Eng; I'm not a plane-fanatic, but, I DO enjoy hearing about certain planes throughout the history, and I ALWAYS love your videos, because not only are they interesting - and you know what you're taking about - but you also make them with a touch of humour (some people load WAY too much, 'HA-HA-stuff, and make their topic secondary, as a result🤨).
I just paused the video at what I think is a really good shot which shows off beautifully something you rarely see in... almost any type of plane (4:33) . The view's JUST like being in a 4-wheeled vehicle, because, look out those windows! Not just in front, but, all around to the sides. Really nice!
Keep up making some of the most enjoyable aviation videos around!
A fan.
"XWB? This name may suit a phone adaptor, not an aeroplane." Haha!
A350: I’m the most advanced airliner!
787: I’m I a joke to you?!
Yes
A worn out meme, but to answer: the 787 is not the most advanced, and compare the intro of the 787 with that of the A350: both were late, but the 787 was plagued with fires, weight issues and engine troubles. The intro of the A350 yas been fairly smooth, and it has met its weight, performance and economy figures, something the 787 still struggles with.
Owen Shebbeare your absolutely right! But the 787 has recorded phenomenal sales, with over 992 as of December 2020, but the a350 has recorded 300 sales only or so. I actually love both! How about you?
implodingbaby :)
A simple name worked for the E-TYPE!
Airbus A350 XWB (eXtra Wide Body) - a long-haul wide-body airliner,? your video is so cool friend.
The A350 is an amazing plane, have flown with it several times now - definitely prefer it to the 777’s I’ve flown with.
But yes, XWB does seem a rather uninspiring name for such a great plane.
People are wicked.... you have over 25 million views and you don't even have two hundred thousand subscribers..... it's very unfortunate how much people View and don't subscribe... you deserve more than this
those cockpit windows look like the mask of Zorro :D
flew in one from sao paulo to barcelona. The 3 external cameras to play to play with keep you entertained
I think that the nose of this jet looks really good!
My second favorite to the 747-8........
Well Done! I love your videos!
Re-upload?
Wow this aircraft is BEAUTIFUL!
The best Airbus EVER! I love it! But B777 is my fav. =)
777 any day
Yeah but the A350 is vastly better for comfort. Even the 777X family only gives you 17.4" wide seats at 10-abreast. The A350 gives you 18" wide seats at 9-abreast.
@@patrickproctor3462 Oh. Come on man! Stupid talk. What matters is the comercial sucsses, don't you think? Besides, recently I flew a TAP A330, the older one, not 900 neo. I liked. Smooth enouth. But in the same route I fly a lot TAAG's B777-300ER and you have more space. It depends of airliners configuration for sure. But technologically speaking, I prefer the 777. No doubts. And you konw? TAAG take less than 40 min for the same flight (6000 Kms), Luanda - Lisbon. Why?
@@antoniosoares1580 The 777 has a top operating speed of Mach 0.88, vs. 0.81 for the A330. In terms of commercial success, well I think it's fairly obvious that the 787 is going to stand above the A330 NEO. The efficiency and economics are incomparable.
@@patrickproctor3462 That is not that true, im not defending airbus or boeing this is a completely unbiased comment, the A330 neo is more profitable in terms of short haul flights which is about 5-6 hours maximun thanks to the new aero and engines, the A330 neo was not originally thought to compete with the 787 on long haul flights, but on shorter ones, the efficiency on the 787 is almost uncomparable in terms of long haul flights but these 2 are not to compete in the same field, one is for more pax on short haul keeping efficiency and the other one is designed for max efficiency on long haul flights.
Thanks for creating such advanced planes
The cabin is 12cm wider than 787 so they named it XWB. Silence....
lol
Yeah, silly name. I mean, it's sized in between a 787 and a 777, so it's not really 'Xtra' wide in general. But as the 787 and A350 are usually configured in 3-3-3, the Airbus is much less cramped and nicer to fly on.
You get 18 inch seats instead of 17 with the 787, but it's too narrow for almost all airlines to consider squeezing in 10 abreast. In other words, it's less cramped than the 9 abreast 787 and the 10 abreast 777.
AutogolazzoJr I have never flew on a 10 abreast 777. 8 abreast at most
@@sturmbreakers7817 www.airlinereporter.com/2016/01/777-9-vs-10-abreast-in-economy/ “Airline acceptance of the 777 at 10-abreast has continued to grow over the years, now accounting for over 50 percent of recent 777 deliveries. Meanwhile, the 777 continues to win passenger preference awards year after year.” Also, find me a single 777 with an 8 abreast economy.
2:20,
I'm more of an Airbus fan, but I totally agree! xD
I don’t know why people compare the A350 to the 787 when it should be the 777.
A350 is between 787 and 777.
Airbus did respect, the 777 is a great aircraft and it wasn't the target to fight the 777. And for Point-To-Point, the 777 is to big.
Agree, mostly compares with 777 series, especially 777-300ER, 777-8 and 9x
@@jchavezz7774 I believe you are correct.
Still stunning to watch these awesome ,massive beasts lift off and land..!!

It’s a beautiful plane looks amazing really beautiful man your channel is highly addictive man I watch all of your videos I like your hosting also really amazing calm voice man really great knowledgeable channel
Of course it is beautiful. It looks like a Boeing.
+Markle2k 787 actually looks more like an airbus with that now
@@Brixey55 How does that work? The A350 cribbed all the design cues from the already existing 787. Even the "sharklets" look similar to the swept wingtips of the 787 and borrow the reference of tht shark fin tail of the 787.
Great stuff.. it’s nearly Christmas and I was undecided but I think I’m going to ask for the A350. Thanks.
Is Borat narrating? Nice and Sexy time.
😂😂😂😂
YES YES
@@cesiumion oh god. I died.
At least he speaks another language fluently. Lemme hear you speak his.
Ali How do you know he speaks another language? He speaks with a Borat type accent. This does not prove this narrator is multi-lingual?
Still looks like a big A300 with winglets. Both great aircraft, obviously !
