The Boeing 777 is larger than the 787 and thus can carry more passengers. Even comparing the largest 787-10 to the 777-200ER puts it ahead only by 17 seats while shedding significant range. The 777-300ER leads the Dreamliners with 396 seats and almost the same range as the 787-9.
Is the A350 the safest plane?
The Airbus A350 is one of the safest and most advanced aircraft in the world. Its advanced avionics, sophisticated autopilot system, and cutting-edge safety features make it an ideal choice for anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable aircraft.
Which is better Dreamliner or A350?
The Dreamliner is slightly longer while the A350 is slightly wider, although both jets have identical maximum passenger capacities. In terms of performance, the A350 is ultimately a heavier aircraft with more fuel capacity and more powerful engines.
Does A350 compete with 777 or 787?
The A350 was designed to be a direct competitor to the Boeing 787-9 and 777-200ER. The original A350 design was publicly criticised by two of Airbus's largest customers, International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) and GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS).
Is A350 or A380 better?
Range and flexibility. Surprisingly, for all its size, the A380 can't go as far as the A350. The A350-1000 can travel more than 1,000 km (540 NM) further than the A380. Singapore Airlines has a special 'ultra-long-range' (ULR) A350-900, which operates on the longest route in the world, from Singapore to New York JFK.
Why A350 is the best aircraft?
More sustainable. The A350 is designed to be a quieter, cleaner aircraft delivering 25% less fuel burn and CO2 emissions per seat. The quietest in its class the A350 has reduced its noise footprint by 50% vs previous generation aircraft as well as lowering NOx emissions.
What is the most comfortable Boeing plane?
The A350 offers the ultimate passenger experience even on the longest of flights. Its innovative design delivers a true feeling of spaciousness, with wide seats, high ceilings and alluring ambient lighting.

Why is A350 special?
Aerodynamics. Talking of the wings, they play a massive part in the aerodynamic gains in the A350 design. What makes them so special is the way they've been designed to morph in flight, changing shape for maximum aerodynamic efficiency throughout the different phases of the journey.
Why do pilots love A350?
The A350 offers a new generation dual Head Up Display which provides pilots with enhanced situational awareness, projecting aircraft trajectory information on the external world, easing transition from IMC (Instrument meteorological conditions) to VMC (visual meteorological conditions) conditions.
Why 787 is better than A350?
The Bottom Line: The Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 787-9 are very similar aircraft, suited for similar missions. As one would expect, the slightly larger A350-900 has a seat-mile cost advantage, while the 787-9 has an advantage in cost per block hour. These aircraft are competitive, and nearly tie in economic performance.
Is the Boeing 787 bigger than the Airbus A380?
In terms of capacity, it is abundantly clear that the A380 can carry significantly more passengers than any 787 variant. With 525 passengers in a standard, three-class configuration, the A380 has a sizeable advantage over the Boeing 787-10, which seats 323 passengers across three classes.
