Recently in Germany, Airbus showed off a potential interior for their new Airbus A350 XWB. They shared the second test aircraft, MSN002 with a partial test interior and mock cabin. Even though it looks impressive, at the end of the day, airline customers will be the ones deciding what finishes will go into the aircraft.
Although Airbus decided to show off a 3-3-3 layout in economy, the aircraft could end up seeing a ten-abreast configuration in the future.
Although the interior of MSN002 gives us a preview, Airbus is planning to fit MSN005 with a full interior which might show more of the robust ideas, like a impressive entry way.

Meh. 787 is still better.
I think the A350 is a far better looking aircraft than the 787. It looks to me that the interior is far more superior too . I can’t wait to ride in one but I am sure no airlines in Aus or NZ are buying any in the near future . I also find it interesting that A350 hasn’t had the same amount of issues as the 787 or A380 . It shows that Airbus must be learning from there past mistakes.
LMAO! The open pic, of the 1-2-1 Business Class layout looks like a series of of aircraft LAV spaces (and in appropriate colors no less), complete with seat cover dispensers (safety card slot) and flush handles (reading lamp). Even changing the colors would help. And yes, those well-wired test units in the 3-3-3 Economy section have very attractive legs. They still have some work to do.
Ques que se “LMAO” ??
No matter how they tweak it, 787 looks better and smoother inside and out.
They’re using passengers to dtermine cabin features? I wonder if the have ever had volunteer passengers sit in seats for 4 hours and have them give an aircraft manufacturer feedback. This will be a first!!!!!!
I definitely prefer the 787 interior. The a350 looked a lot better in the concept pictures than the real product. It’s strange, but the a350 interior actually looks rather dated. The windows are pretty small too similar to the a380, where theres a large inner window and shade, but small exterior window. Kind’ve a shame really. The a380 pivot bins in the a350 would’ve look a lot better too.
