Airbus A350 belongs to the Airbus group of airliners. Airbus A350 aircraft is a medium size and long-range airliner of Airbus which is designed to surpass the efficacies of A 340 and A330.At first the design of Airbus A 350 was derivative to Airbus A330 with enhanced engines and aerodynamics. However, later Airbus launched Airbus A350 with complete new designing and technologies. Airbus A350 features rear fuselage, composite wings, fuselage skins with ribs of aluminum, new gear for landing, new engines and other new systems. The cockpit of Airbus A 350 is like Airbus A380 and the technologies used in Airbus A350 are similar to that of Airbus A380. The Airbus A350 consists of 52% of composites, 14% titanium, 20% aluminum, & % steel and 7% of balance.The engines of Airbus A350 will be a system of air bleed. Rolls-Royce will be supplying Airbus with a Trent variant, the Trent XWB with a 75000-95000lb static thrust for the Airbus A 350 aircraft.
The fuselage of A 350 features a door 1 to the door 4 steady cross-section to enhance the exploitation of the usable volume. The shape of the fuselage is ovoid as a marked change from the circular fuselage of the previous aircraft.Airbus has entered into a contract with BMW who will design the interior of Airbus A350.Airbus A 350 has three variants. A 350-800 has strength of 270 passengers in a 3 cabin class and can carry 312 passengers in a 2 cabin class. The length of A350-800 is 198 feet and 6 inches. The cargo capacity is 26LD3. The take off weight (maximum) is 540,000lb or 245,000kg. The aircraft cruises with a speed of 561 mph with a .85 Mach at the height of 40,000 feet. Cruise speed if reaches to maximum is 587 mph with .89 Mach at the height of 40,000 feet. The range of Airbus A 350-800 is 8,300nm or 15,400km. The maximum thrust is 75,000lbf.
