But a350 better and safer

Ikr

Yes, Both powered by Rolls Royce

I want to see Rolls Royce Ultra fan it is so elegant

If I had the cheese between which one was the prettiest it would be the A350

CGI !

last winter during january Lapland went down to -35 in some areas they could have gone there ! it was -42c one day

A fellow yank who is plane crazy, my preference has always been Boeing aircraft, but I have been fortunate to travel on the A-380 on a trip to Australia and that is one amazing aircraft. Haven't traveled on any other airbus widebody as of yet.

+Who's Your Daddy ?? Fair perspective from an aviation fan. But from a pilot's perspective, generally it is one-sided. This is because the Boeing and Airbus philosophy are opposing. Boeing puts the Pilots in a less inhibited position of authority over the airplane, while Airbus actually discourages manual flying. Airbus feels that automation is safer and more efficient. Airbus pilots do very little manual flying. Personally, I'll take a Boeing, (or any aircraft with a yoke) over an Airbus any day.

+Ryan Switzer That's not really true, speaking as a pilot on the 330 and now training on the 350, I can tell you that nowhere in the manuals do Airbus discourage manual flying, nor do they state that automation is safer and more more efficient, in fact one of the Airbus golden rules is to take over control if the automation is not working as planned. Airbus simply has a lot of protections in normal law which cannot be overridden (but then again they can be if you put it in alternate law). As for your point that Airbus pilots do very little manual flying....not wrong, but not correct. These days it doesn't matter what you fly, the autopilot comes on fairly quickly. If you want real flying, commercial aviation isn't the path you should be looking at. Even then it depends on the crew, I've seen some guys engage the autopilot after takeoff and others hand fly until 10,000 feet. Point is, modern aeroplanes are all computers, be it Boeing or Airbus. At the end of the day you can say one is better than the other, but then it will be purely a matter of opinion.

+tanshaomala very true on all points. Maybe it depends on the airline? I was told all that by a retired 320 captain at a southeast Asian carrier. I fly for an American 135 operation in that area, but cannot speak for the Airbus. We generally fly manually below 10k

👍👍👍

When everything is manufactured to perfection you don't need luck.

Yes, but my favorite aircraft is the Boeing 777 and looks what happens...!!!

jeff belli slack I think he was referring to the 777-200 that disappeared. MH370 I believe.

Right

jgstargazer But in extreme cold even the littlest problem can turn into a major problem . And when your that far away from the factory or even a major maintenance base, things can happen. I've worked in Canadian Arctic, I know.

whats funny?

Funny?

Oh, we bitch about it too, believe me : )

deltavee2, you're right. The price is literally life & limb.

man why do i see you everywhere on youtube

@@muhammadaviation1732 dont know what your problem is

@@runsame Man just saying ur everywhere

thats not a bad thing

its just a fact

777, 787, 747, all look better to me.

as a boeing fan the a350 is one of the most beautiful plane

+Tiny Rick A350 is alot prettier my friend trust me just gorgeous airframe

Why hasn't any other aircraft been serious competition for Boeing? A320 is a very strong competitor for 737, the A330 is a very successful aircraft to name a few.

***** I'm talking about the company, not aircraft!

I still don't get why you haven't considered Airbus as a serious competitor to Boeing until now,

***** Well maybe not at last! It has always been a serious competitor just never taken seriously by some!

barticus04

Amen to that

Not really. As nice as this is, the 787 is far more advanced than this. This plane is only 30% composite, the 787 is about 60% made of composites enabling lighter weight, better fuel economy, quieter with larger windows. I also think that Boeing has a far larger network of support giving airlines a bigger reason to buy the 787.

bluesky You have no idea what you are talking about. The 787 has a composite content of 50% while the A350 53%. Btw the TrentXWB engines are the most advanced as well as the cockpit of the A350. The A350 also features larger windows.

techdefined No no man, it's the other way around, I looked to reconfirm. The Boeing has more composite material, and will have the largest windows in the civil aviation industry. As to the engines, I don't know the exact tech specs, but looking at some feature, the GE engine will produce less CO2 emissions, and put out more power per JetA used, though there may be more there that I haven't looked up about the RR which also look good.

bluesky Sorry that's crap. The A350 has a content of 53% composites because it came after the 787. The 787 has large vertical windows but not as as wide as the A350 one's. That has to do how the sections are made and the stress on them. 787 is made of barrels of CFRP while the A350 of shells. The TrentXWB is the newest Rollce Royce triple spool engine and is by far the most efficient widebody engine in the world. Please do some research.

techdefined You're actually right man. My bad, I was looking at the tech tables and had them reversed. The A350 is 53% composite as opposed to 50% with 787. But that 3% isn't making a difference in performance since beyond that the planes are practically identical in performance, fuel usage, CO2 emission... I'll take either for free.

Marc Liljeqvist There are many reasons why they were retired. Too much thirsty, too much noisy.... And the safety records are also better in modern planes.

Marc Liljeqvist If the Ilyushin Russian built planes are still better or superior in extreme weather, find out many reasons why many of them were retired. Those old planes are nothing better compared to modern aircraft like the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350 XWB.

+Icaller1915 They are better in extreme weather but that's about it

I wonder if pipe get froze while at extreme weather like snow

+Marc Liljeqvist Thing is most of us don't live in extreme weathers.

gotta admit though, it's one nice looking aircraft

Yes, but Joe's not keen on jets. He's on record as disliking even turbo-props.

Nicole K Yes, Joe is a piece of work. Most of his many troubles come from flying old piston engines in the cold. turbines,unlike turbans work much better in cold. BUT THEN, HE WOULD NOT HAVE "ICE PILOTS".

it's not

I'm pretty certain that the camera is angled from the centre and is facing along the port side front window of the cockpit. So it just looks like there's no nose.

buy some glasses.

swunt10 fuck u

Troy Common You really think so?? Airbus made it "sexy" , again!

***** no matter wat airbus do they can't beat boeing. "If its not Boeing i'm not going"

jeff belli slack whatever. Youre the expert obviously.

David Zhang Me 2

Jhantilloto ummmmmmm ya.............. that's the whole f'n point of the video.........

Yah I was Amazed when they f*cking used the a350 IN THE F*CKING ARTIC 🙄

Yesterday my city was 42c and in the winter it was -31c

Adam Blomberg the plane is up and running when it enters that altitude. This is when when they shut everything down over night and to see how everything fired up in the morning.

i agree all communications should be in english and no exceptions...confusion makes accidents.

"list of ICAO languages : Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish."

When everybody uses the english language are all planes ready to understand what is going on. Everybody knows where anybody is and can react if there is anything wrong. The Multi language bullshit is dangerous. And i am from Germany, i had to learn egnlish first, too!!!!!

Fredi81 Agreed - but the French are very stubborn when it comes to language.
