Airbus A350 Family

The Airbus A350 is a family of long-range twin-engine widebody aircraft built around a composite fuselage and an aerodynamically adaptive composite wing. The A350-900 and stretched A350-1000 serve intercontinental passenger routes, including ultra-long-range operations, while the A350F extends the platform into dedicated freight. A common flight deck, advanced materials, and a wide, low-altitude cabin define the family.
