the boeing triple 7x is the world's largest twin jet ever built
its enormous engines and unprecedented wingspan promised to bring unbeatable fuel efficiency
and usher in a new era of high capacity long range flying the boeing triple seven 200lr world liner
is the long range variant of the triple seven family with a maximum range of 8555 nautical miles
this variant has increased mtow three optional auxiliary fuel tanks and wing tips want to know
about it well stay tuned to the video and watch the video till the end hello guys welcome to

about airbus and boeing and basically anything around aviation hit the like button to show your
support and in today's video we're going to talk about airbus a350 vs boeing triple seven
so without any further ado let's begin equipped with ga-90 engines it produces up to 230 000
pounds of thrust combined exactly 6c have already been delivered and its main operators are delta
airlines and emirates with each one operating 10 aircraft the a350 family has two versions
the a350 900 and the longer fuselage a350 1000 a350s fly efficiently on any sector from short
haul to ultra long-haul routes up to 9 700 nautical miles carrying 300 410 passengers
in typical three class configurations and up to four eight passengers in a single class layout
the ge90 engine family powers all boeing triple 7 models it's the exclusive power plant on the
boeing triple seven 300 er 200 lr and freighter the engine has accumulated nearly 100 million
flight hours and 14 million cycles since entering service with the g890 ga introduced the composite
fan blade the first ever in commercial aviation the a350 1000 aircraft is powered by two trent
xwb 97 turbofan engines which generate a thrust of 97 000 pounds during takeoff and are manufactured
by rolls-royce the maximum fuel capacity of the aircraft is 156 thousand liters the aircraft has
a maximum operating speed of mach 0.89 and a range limit of 14 800 kilometers it has a maximum ramp
weight of 308.90 and a zero fuel weight of 220 t the maximum takeoff weight mtow and landing weight
of the aircraft are 380 and 233 t respectively astroline advanced sensors was awarded a contract
by rolls royce in february 2014 to supply sensors for the trend xwb engines the landing gear and
wings are nicely modelled in general the exterior is good even though some improvements are welcome
especially in the fuselage and pinage however you won't find any problems if
you don't search for them both aircraft have this functionality with one being better than the other
both aircraft have a 3d model cabin divided into the economy business and first class
usually a triple seven economy class is configured in a 343 configuration which is in the case flight
factors triple 7 equipped with a 333 configuration the business class seems very old and the first
class has a nice bar the a350 cabin is more modern than the triple 7 one the economy is
also equipped with a 333 configuration with every seat being equipped with ife screens configured
in a two to two configuration the business class has wider and more comfortable seats
the first class in the a350 is also equipped with the bar providing great luxury to the passengers
the triple seven 300 is the latest derivative of the triple seven family and the first aircraft was
delivered to kathy pacific in may 1998. the triple 7 300 er extended range was launched in february
2000 and the first flight took place in february 2003 the 300 er set a maximum takeoff weight mtow
record for a twin-engine aircraft in may 2003 the aircraft received the us and european
certification in march 2004 and was delivered in may 2004 to its launch customer air france
the higher fuel capacity compared to the triple 7 300 provided a range of 13 335 kilometers with
359 passengers airbus is producing three variants of the a350 namely the airbus a350 800 airbus a350
900 and airbus a350 1000 building on technologies from the airbus a380 the airbus a350xwb has the
same flyby wire technology as well as a similar cockpit layout to the super jumbo the use of new
materials and manufacturing methodology produces in the region of a 10 reduction in maintenance
costs as well as a 14 reduction in empty weight per seat compared to competitors 6000 feet 1800
meters with humidity at 20 percent the new air flow system is able to adapt to passenger numbers
and adjust accordingly with a drought free flow the triple seven 300 er stands wider with
a wingspan of 212 feet 7 inches but the a350 is closed behind with 2 inches less from wingtip to
wingtip the triple seven is also taller measuring 60 feet eight inches to the top of the tail
almost three feet taller than its french competitor cabin width is another key measurement
often determining how many seats will be added to the aircraft the triple 7 300 takes the cake
here with a distance of 19 feet 2 inches from the wall to wall the a350 on the other hand measures
18 feet 5 inches nearly 9 inches narrower than the triple 7 variant airbus also says its jet is tons
lighter than its american built counterpart which helps it to be 25 more cost efficient
though no exact numbers exist on that front both manufacturers are claiming class leading economics
for their airplanes but in reality they are very very close the triple 79 holds a 16
advantage in capacity which directly impacts seed mile costs but the a350 1000 will have
lower trip costs than its larger competitor with very comparable seat mile costs the a350 1000 the
7779x will be competitive and it will come down to how many seats an airline believes it can ill
for those that can fill 400 seats the triple 79 looks like a good alternative for those
that prefer lower risk the 350 seat eight a350 1000 is the right airplane a stretched a350
would also help to bridge the large cap in size between a350 1000 and a380 800 the a350 xwb is
airbus newest aircraft the a350 900 has a maximum range of 8 100 kilometers and an mtow of 280 tons
however as of january this year this had dropped to 308 25 of these are from etihad airways which
has repeatedly said it will not take more than six of the time due to fleet restructuring
the longest route currently flown by a triple seven 300 er is saudi as jeddah to los angeles
route which measures 7 240 nautical miles on a line a mere 130 nautical miles less than the
plane's published maximum range the a350 1000 on the other hand has a published maximum range of
790 nautical miles with passengers and baggage 620 more than the triple 7 300 er
in theory that means the aircraft could operate the longest route in the world
emirates is dubai to auckland flight which stands at 7668 nautical miles however the
a350 900 has a published maximum range of one 110 nautical miles higher than that of the a350 1000
on top of that boeing has said that the triple 7x will have the same technology as the a350 and 787
allowing the cabin to be pressurized to a lower altitude which is just another example of how the
manufacturers are looking to better the customer experience the fuselage of the a350 1000 is made
of lightweight carbon fiber reinforced plastic cfrp the aircraft chairs approximately 95
of its systems with the a350 900 aircraft but its longer fuselage can accommodate 40 more passengers
than the a350 900 the new variant features the latest aerodynamics and innovative technologies
to increase fuel efficiency by 25 compared to its long-range competitor environment friendly
materials are being used to build aircraft in order to reduce harmful effects the aircraft
integrates advanced flight control systems a modified wing trailing edge and a new six wheel
main landing gear it has a total of 41 exterior lights including white and red in the wings
fuselage and tail in november 2005 the triple seven 200 lr liner set a world distance record
for a commercial aircraft non-stop flight 21 601 kilometers from hong kong to london heathrow
the launch customer was pakistan international airlines pia which received the first triple seven
200 lr world liner in february 2006 orders 455 aircraft have been received including eva airways
3 air india 8 qatar airways ilfc 2 jet airway 6 emirates 10 air canada 13 and air india 8.
qatar airways signed an agreement worth 501 million dollars with boeing in july 2010 to
acquire two additional boeing triple 7 200lrs now that we've come to the end of this video i
