Which is better Airbus or Dreamliner?
In terms of capacity, it is abundantly clear that the A380 can carry significantly more passengers than any 787 variant. With 525 passengers in a standard, three-class configuration, the A380 has a sizeable advantage over the Boeing 787-10, which seats 323 passengers across three classes.
Is Boeing 787 better than A350?
In a two-class configuration, the A350 can handle more passengers than the 787. Thus, if it’s the amount of passengers you can ferry, the A350 is the clear winner. However, if efficiency is point of concern, the 787 comes on top. The A350 definitely has the longer range, but the 787 simply utilises the fuel better.
Why is the A350 so special?
The 787 and A350 are the first large commercial aircraft to be constructed extensively from carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). CFRP is more durable as it doesn’t corrode to the same extent as traditional aluminium used in older planes, translating into lower maintenance costs for airlines.
Are Airbus planes quieter than Boeing?
Airbus claims the A350 is “five decibels quieter than competing aircraft [the Boeing 787], and up to nine decibels quieter towards the front of the cabin. This means four times less noise.” This, of course, is without Airbus actually releasing their data.
What’s the difference between a Boeing 787 and Airbus A350?
At around $200 per ticket, an extra 40 passengers is only $8,000 on top. Is this enough to make a difference? If we assumed a fuel cost of $9.05 per nautical mile for the Boeing 787-10 and an Airbus A350-1000 cost of $9.27 (2017 Prices) and spread that amongst the passengers we get:
What’s the range of an Airbus A350 XWB?
Range for the A350 is 15,000 kilometres, 14,140 kilometres for the Boeing 787. Vietnam Airlines is one of the airlines to operate the impressive Airbus A350 XWB.
How many seats does an Airbus A350-1000 have?
Airbus A350-1000 – 480 seats with 31 inches of seat pitch. Likely the Boeing 787-10 could fit a few more passengers onboard, but according to the specifications, it may affect the safety of the passengers (its exit limit it 440) thus it won’t carry more than 440. The Boeing 787-10 might be a worthy opponent.
Which is cheaper A350 1000 or 787 10?
If fuel is cheap, the A350-1000 will beat off the Boeing 787-10 thanks to having more passengers. But if fuel is expensive, then things get a bit more complex. At around $200 per ticket, an extra 40 passengers is only $8,000 on top.
