BOEING 787 and AIRBUS 350 Departure - Direct Comparison in.
The A350 and B787 Dreamliner are the world’s most advanced airplanes, produced respectively by Airbus (Europe) and Boeing (USA). The latter was the first of the two companies to introduce the concept of a revolutionary new and fuel-efficient plane. The first B787 was unveiled in 2007 during a roll-out ceremony at Boeing’s factory near Seattle, although it took another 2 years for the.
Boeing’s 787-10 compared to Airbus’ A350-900. Many write that the choice was about a medium-range aircraft versus a long-range model. This is part of the answer but it’s not the whole answer. The full answer is more involved. It’s equally about a more tightly packaged aircraft versus a more spacious one. We will go through the key differences that decided which aircraft was the most.
Also the air pressure on the A350 and 787 are both set to 6000ft so saying that the 787 is pressurised to a lower altitude is incorrect (this is about the A350 vs 787 after all). Also many pilots tend to be biased towards either Boeing or Airbus depending on their preferred flying style (kinda like manual vs auto in a car) so asking a pilot is not always going to get a fair answer. I've have.
The new Boeing 787-10 on which Boeing says it will start construction on in 2017 has a seating capacity of 330 with 2 class configuration.

According to the Boeing and Airbus websites, the older Boeing 787-9 has a superior range of 7,635 nautical miles while the A350 has a range of 7,600 nmi. Boeing says that.

The 787-10 is a bit bigger and overlaps a little with the A350-900, and replaces the 777-200 in Boeing's lineup. By comparison, the A350 is overall a larger aircraft, filling a gap in size that Airbus had (the A340 is discontinued, the A330 is a bit smaller, and the A380 is significantly larger).
In comments to Flight International, Airbus sales boss John Leahy indicated British Airways is leaning toward the A350 rather than Boeing’s 787-10 or a possible 777X.
