Product features
The world’s most modern and efficient aircraft family
Combining the very latest aerodynamics, new generation engines and use of lightweight
materials, the A350 XWB brings a 25% advantage in fuel burn, operating costs and carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions compared to previous generation competitor aircraft.
 State-of-the-art aerodynamics, inspired by nature, including unique morphing technology
that continuously optimises the wing profile to reduce drag and lower fuel burn.
 Powered by new Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, the world’s most efficient large aero
engine flying today:
o A350-900: 84,000 lbs take-off thrust.
o A350-1000: 97,000 lbs take-off thrust.

 Over 70% of the airframe is made from advanced materials, including:
o 53% composites.
o titanium (substitute for steel).
o modern aluminium alloys.
Community benefits
An eco-efficient, sustainable design for a quieter, cleaner aircraft reducing the environmental
impact from gate to gate:
 Quietest in its class with 40% noise footprint reduction vs previous generation aircraft:
exterior noise level of the A350-900 is certified at 21 EPNdB (Effective Perceived Noise
Decibel) below ICAO Chapter 4 requirements.
 25% less CO2 emissions per seat.
 28% NOx (Nitrogen (di)Oxide) emissions below CAEP/6.

Cabin features
 The A350 XWB features a 221”-wide cabin (6” wider than 787) offering passengers
absolute comfort in all classes, and flexibility for airlines to accommodate all types of
configurations.
 The A350-900 offers 300-350 seats in typical 3-class configuration
 The A350-1000 offers 350-410 seats in typical 3-class configuration, with the same
comfort and 40% more premium area.
Exclusive passenger experience

 The quietest twin-aisle cabin:
o Five decibels quieter than competing aircraft, and up to nine decibels quieter towards
the front of the cabin. This means four times less noise.
 Lower cabin altitude thanks to composite fuselage: 6,000 feet vs 8,000 feet in an
aluminium fuselage aircraft.
 Largest overhead luggage bins on the market.
 Highest ceiling (95 inches) in the industry and vertical sidewalls, increasing the feeling of
space for passengers.
 Latest air conditioning and cabin temperature management systems:
o Up to 8 temperature control zones for passengers in all classes, additional 4 zones
for crew members.
o 20% more fresh air than 787 with entire air cabin renewed every 2 to 3 minutes.
 Full LED ambient lighting: 16.7 million different colours for a large variety of
customisable, dynamic lighting scenarios to simulate different times of day (e.g.
mimicking natural sunrise and sunset) and reduce fatigue & jetlag after a long-haul flight.
In-Flight-Entertainment & Connectivity:

 Latest (fourth) generation in-flight entertainment system for all passengers: high
definition screens and video on demand.
 Full connectivity (Internet, Email, GSM, WiFi) via personal devices for all passengers.
 Wireless connection, high-speed connectivity.
