Airbus A350,The Prince of Airspace...


 
( The Future Air Asia A350-900)

As I was reading the article of the latest airplanes been purchase by Air Asia, I begin to wonder the specialty of Airbus A350. Well, I would say that Airbus A350 is new step of aviation aeroplane which can fly more further range and also the weight which is light may reduce the fuel cost of a particular Airbus A350. So, I would like to wish to the CEO, Dato Tony Fernandes and all the ground and air space crew "Well Done & Congratulations" of purchasing 10 new Airbus A350. It been scheduled to arrive by 2016 in time of leasing off the Airbus A340. This would encourage more International routes around the world with Aibus A340 & Airbus A350.

So, most of you may ask what is so special with Airbus A350 ? Well the answer is simple,it is the next generation of replacing the Boeing 787 which is producing good market in the aviation industry. Based on my knowledge,this aircraft can occupy 314 passesngers and it is believe to save fuel cost by 60%. The cabin will feature a number of new features, as Airbus seeks to counter the new concepts introduced by Boeing in the cabin of the rival 787 twinjet. 

It is unclear the exact extent of the German automotive company's participation in the new interiors.

“There are new lighting features and shaping in the cabin,” says A350 chief engineer Dougie Hunter. “We can project onto the ceiling whatever is appropriate for the mood required – for example the night sky or clouds etc.” Hunter says that a concept around the door two area has a bar area and seating for economy.

“In the entrance area there is a dome that that gives us the feeling of spaciousness or openness in the cabin and configured for whatever mood you want to generate,” Hunter says.

Airbus has also improved the overhead bin design to increase their volume. “The number of bags that can be accommodated in the centre bin of the business area will be two standard roller bags per passenger,” says Hunter. “The economy bins can take one standard roller bag per passenger.” Quoted from Airbus website.
