Airbus A350 plane: Boeing787 Dreamliner Aircraft 03/09

Who’s a pretty boy then? Airbus’ first completed A350 XWB is unveiled with a full paint-job in Toulouse, France on May 13, 2013. The plane is set to rival Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner in the mid-size aircraft market. Currently there are 814 orders from 39 airlines on the company’s books. The A350 XWB is the first in a family of super-efficient passenger planes Airbus designed to go head-to-head with rival Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and 777s. The project for the new jet began in 2006 and was initially criticized by some in the industry, including airlines, for not really advancing the global aviation scene.
