The Airbus A350 is among the industry's most modern twinengined widebody airliners. Known for its composite design, Airbus first proposed the airframe in 2004 as a major competitor of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner program. The A330 was essentially the foundation for early concepts of the aircraft, but as time evolved and Airbus received feedback from the industry, it developed a new, cleansheet design, marketing the plane as “XWB,” which stands for extra widebody. The aircraft would also receive its own exclusive engine – the RollsRoyce Trent XWB.

In today’s video, we look at some basic history of the aircraft, and offer several reasons why the A350 is as popular as it is. Some reasons will be rather obvious and could apply to any aircraft of its size, while other reasons may be less well known.
