British Airbus A350
The Airbus A350 is one of the most fuel-efficient aircraft operating in the world today offering a 40 per cent noise footprint and 25 per cent fuel burn reduction compared to other aircraft of a similar size. The state-of-the-art aircraft is built from advanced materials including a combination of carbon composites, titanium and modern aluminium alloys, delivering environmental benefits such as lower fuel burn.
The nitrogen oxide emissions are nearly a third below the current industry standard, with noise levels also much lower compared to previous generations, whilst the Trent XWB engines used on our A350-1000 aircraft have the lowest specific fuel consumption for any turbofan aircraft in service today, contributing to lowering CO2 emissions.
In the cabin, the A350 promotes a feeling of well-being, space and calm due to reduced noise levels, high ceilings, ambient lighting and an optimised cabin altitude of 6,000ft for a more comfortable journey. Cabin air is renewed every two to three minutes to minimise the effects of jet lag and maximise cabin air filtration.
