Last week, I posted a video about why the 787 and a350 are not direct competitors. And perhaps unsurprisingly, I received some pushback. Now I stand by everything that I said in that video, but I do want to revisit the conversation. Because while the 787 and a350 families aren’t interchangeable, it is true that each has a specific variant that’s explicitly designed to do the same job. Let me explain.

2:18 You could have added that "But, while A220 series can fly, the 737 Max cannot". Lol
Also, team A350 all the way. But we don't have to scream it all the time.
Yeah, we're the true ones💪🏽
Only the 737 Max 8 is the grounded one, he brought up the max 7, different
We're so sure of the a350 superiority that we don't even fell the urge to shout to everyone about it. Team a350 all the way, the aircraft is in another level.
@@John.0523 all 737 MAX are grounded, as they all share the same systems. Not just the 8.

I love the A350-1000! Flew it on Qatar Airways and the hugest thing for me was the air quality. It didn’t feel as dry inside. Plus the interior was so spacious!

@Vesta 2022 sounds great
The A350 only has (2) variants, yet can both compete with the many variants of the B787 (3) and the B777 (2). If you ask me, that's versatility and competition whilst being cost-effective.
Team A350 for sure.
The original B777 has 5 variants
But there all pretty much the same with diff names
Well, that is what a desperate band-aid does.
Boeing built so many kind of planes because they wanna fill specifics sectors of the market.
Airbus just wanna, You know, dont die for Boeing and Embraer.
Team boeing
actually, the A350 has THREE variants. the -900, -1000, and the -800.
@@zedriclouis87 dont forget the A350ULR
Boeing designed the B787 as a B767 replacement and Airbus designed the A350XWB as a B777 replacement. Both aircraft initially proposition has minimal overlaps.
However Due to some turns of events and decisions, the B787 which was originally designed for 8 abreast configuration ended up with a majority of 9 abreast economy layout. This indirectly resulted in the B787 stepping into the A350-900 market segment and somewhat competes with it indirectly.
As mentioned in the video, The decision to launch the stretch B787-10 was to defend against the A350-900. And the now defunct A350-800 was initially targeted at the B787-9.
Team a350. It’s more capable and viable for the job it’s built for (replacing the 777) than the 787-10 and the 777x is still in the development phase. The 787 was probably built to replace the 767 and the a330 is also built for that job.
I love the a350! It is so quiet!! I just remembered it being quiet. 747 I remember being very loud. A330 is also pretty quiet.
The 787 was designed to replace the 767. That is true.
Yep, team a350 I love a350

A350-900 no doubt!!
The best sleep on a flight of my life was on a Latam flight flying one of them. The air was very breathable, it was dead silent, seats comfortable, lighting natural... clear winner for me.
I flew numerous times in both 350 & 787 in different airlines. Somehow the general / overall feel for 350 is much more comfortable and roomier. It has to be the seats configuration & interior.
Yep, because the A350 is a wider plane so it would feel roomier. When the 777x comes out it will feel roomier than the A350 because the interior width is 14 inches wider. Seats are all the airlines choice. It has nothing to do with the plane.
@inspector morse British Airways is in the process of changing all their business class seats to the new layout on existing planes. Yes, the airlines all have a choice of seat designs they want from 3rd party companies. The leaflets are for what the plane can look like. It's up to the airline for final say.
Well, the 787 is flat out narrower while having (usually) the same number of abreast economy seats. I've rubbed shoulders with people in economy 787s, not a good sign.
I've flown on the AIr NZ 787-10 and the Cathay A350 and I liked them both. Big windows are nice and the engines are quiet. Not really too much between the two aircraft, to be honest. Both are engineering marvels and a pleasure to fly.
a350 team way better plane in terms of room comfort quietness
good choice brother
Ata Korkut Fact. I was on Lufthansa’s A350 from ORD-MUC and back and when I got back home it turned to my favorite plane. Still like the 787 and 777 series tho I have never been on any of those yet.
@The Rails Aviation probably built better by workers how u say less coked up and more unionized so u can't shit on their wages to sell million dollar planes to billion dollar companies at a 50% discount
I always believed that the 787-10 was meant to be a replacement for the 767-400ER
Capacity-wise, the 787-9 better replaces the 767-400ER. However the 767-400ER was more recently produced, right at the turn of the century, so neither Delta nor United need to retire them yet, and will likely replace them (and probably their -300ER variants too) with the future NMA, in whatever form the NMA takes.
@@intergalactic_butterfly well said
B767-400ER have similar capacity to B787-8.
@@nntflow7058 Depends on how an airline outfits their 787s. Some 787-8s have a capacity similar to a 767-300ER while others, yes, do have a capacity similar to the -400ER. Boeing largely marketed the -8 as a 767-300ER replacement however.
@@intergalactic_butterfly Let me put it this way:
787-8: Replacement for A330-200s and 767-300ER
787-9: Replacement for the A330-300s and 767-400ER (Even Though Some Airlines (Like American) Use It To Replace The 777-200ER As Well)
787-10: Replacement For The 777-200 (Non-ER Variant (Won't Replace The ER Due To Limited Range))
A350-800 (Non Existent): Replaces the A330-300 and A340-200 (Although the A330-900Neo Takes Over The A350-800's Role)
A350-900: Replaces the A340-300 and the 777-200ER
A350-1000: Competes With The 777-300ER, 777-8X and 777-9X, and replaces the A340-600
When you realise that the A350 is made to replace the A340 and A380 to compete against to the 777, 777X and 787

The A350 pretty much has sunglasses on but the 787 is just futuristic looking, a true dream. #Team Dreamliner!
It just proves that the A350 was designed to compete with the 787. The blackout of the cockpit window frames was to hide the A350's old look to the 787's newer look. Also they needed to cut down on development time cause the 787 was ahead in it's progressing to deliveries of the type to airlines.
@@johnhenry6762 absolutely... They were really pressed to make the A350 jet look futuristic.... Its a cool look though because I have always disliked the airbus cockpit window design. I'm sad Boeing didn't try something cool on the 777x though.. Would have been dope.
@@chidiivan5125 Perhaps when strong glass like material that is cheap to replace is developed (no blackout required at that point).

Team 787 here, and it’s not even close. The 787 just looks so futuristic and elegant with its curved wings, engine chevrons, big windows, windscreen and the way it verticals stabilizer is curved rather then being flat. I have an ANA 787-9 1:200 on my work desk, and it always brings a smile to my face when I need a breather.
Team dreamliner !! 🏅
Let's go
I think from the outside the 787 looks a bit squat, sitting low to the ground, leaning forward, while the A350 is an overall better proportioned aircraft, without sacrificing the aerodynamic modern look.
Team 350 .
good choice brother
In the end, the 787-9 was intended for flying "long, thin" routes on point-to-point services between smaller cities. For example, it allowed Chinese airlines to operate out of airports besides Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou on long-distance routes.
I'm definately team 787 but you probably knew that just from my profile picture

787 is my favorite. i flew one to france and back and it was better than any other plane experience i had. it was nice and quiet and did quiet well in the massive amounts of turbulence we had on the trip.
Never knew there was a Boeing A350 until I saw the thumbnail😆
Great video. Let me tell you what happened since I was on the 787 Design team. At the time, Airbus was trying to compete with Boeing, and we were so far into the design phase, that we were getting ready to do our final layout design. Airbus waited, and I suspected that they did this on purpose to see what our final design was going to look like. Then Airbus decided to do a little bigger on certain aspect.
So yeah, the 787 was the first to enter the market, it was the first to gain a lot of orders. We originally had 4 design variants. 787-3, -8,-9 and -10. The -3 was smaller and it was going to have metal wings. The marketing team has found that we would never make money on the -3, so it was scrapped. We started producing the -8. First flight took place December 2009. A350 First flight took place in June 2013. That's nearly 4 years gap.
So, it was originally going to be competitors, but Airbus cheated by delaying the project. I was on the program for 7 years.
But I can tell you this...787 Dreamliner is way ahead of A350, not by design advantage, but ahead in design knowledge. Boeing is ready for 797 with 787 background.
I'm Team Both. I love the because I’ve been on Lufthansa’s A350 from ORD-MUC and back but I still love the 787 as well. Same with the 777 series I just haven’t been on a 787 or 777 yet. But I’ve seen a Thai 777 at Munich. Overall I love all the planes I named in this list.
Me too
Been on both 777 and 787 . Amazing beautiful aircraft.
Wow this is truly the hard one. Last year I flew on Singapore Airlines that took me on both A350-900 and B787-10. Hands down no comparison. B787-10 was a plane in its own. At 6'3" seats are dreadful and the B787-10 was heaven. When I got on the A350-900 it quickly dawn on me the layout was the same as their B777-300er. However, the A350 was quieter and roomier the the older B777. Thumbs up to both planes!
Hi Colby that's another EXCELLENT video - thank you!
Wikipedia has a very good page on this general topic which is well worth a read - "Competition between Boeing and Airbus". The articles main point is that GENERALLY speaking the product range of Airbus and Boeing COMPLIMENT each other rather than compete with each other
The points that you make in your two videos is consistent with Wikipedias
Hey, i love your videos man! Very clear and informative. I can see that you are a Boeing guy! That's ok because i am!

Well done, Coby
the a350 has much better comfort than the 787 or 777 so its a no brainer, when i have to chose, i would 10/10 fly with a a350 over a 787 or 777
I do not have an opinion on this topic. Could you please explain how you reached this conclusion? Thanks!
I’m going on two in December, 777-300er to Qatar and the a350 to Johannesburg, I’m a350 gang too but who knows
A lot of how you define “comfort” though is up to how the airline furnishes the aircraft and the class of cabin you’re in.
Take the economy section of each I’ll compare:
Emirates Airlines, their 777’s are definitely more comfortable than Air France’s 777. However I’d prefer the Air France 777 over the Lufthansa A350.
(Yes, I have flown all several times and feel qualified to judge.)
@@petergajda3732 Can't speak for him, but for me (holding the same opinion) it was a few things: The A350 cabin feels way nicer than the 777's or 787's cabin; it's ceiling is higher (and the cabin is a bit more roomy in general (especially compared to the 787), the air quality is better (higher pressure and humidity) and it's so much more quiet. The lights are quite nice too, but not really the main selling point.
I also dislike the 787's window dimming, since it doesn't really stop all the light from entering and I get headaches from the lighting it generates, but that might just be me personally.
excellent explanetion !!
The B787 was born to replace another Boeing product: B767. The A350 was later born to compite with the B787 and to replace the A330 but Airbus decided to upgrade the last to Neo. Airbus never expected that the life of the A340 will that short same with the A380. Now, the B777X was born to replace the old B777 versions and the B747, but will be the plane to replace also the A340 and A380. At the end, the only wide body planes flying for the following 30+ years will be the B747-8, B787, B777, and the A350.
Knowing that the A350 carries DNA from A380 gives me goose bumps. In a good way.

😎🛫👍🏻
The key capacity indicator here is the length of the cabin.
Due to some turns of events and decisions, the B787 which was originally designed for 8 abreast configuration ended up with a majority of 9 abreast economy layout. This indirectly resulted in the B787 stepping into the A350-900 market segment and somewhat competes with it indirectly.
At first I was all about the 787, especially that wing but the A350 is winning me over.
why would the wing on the a350 be better than the 787. it just folds at the tip. the 787's wing actually flexes. much more useful.
Hi , what is the music that plays in your intro? Nice videos btw.
nice video!!
Suggestion for future topic: given that B787 and A350 are the newest, most-advanced widebodies, how do they differ / which is better or worse in passenger in-flight experience, irrespective of the furnishings chosen by a specific airline.
I’ve flown on both planes many times with several different airlines. Dreamliner any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Every time I’ve flown on the A350 I notice a ton of exhaust getting into the cabin when firing up the engines. The 787 is quieter and I love the adjustable tint windows.
I am hands-down a 350 supporter, but I have noticed that kerosene smell on startup, and it is unpleasant. I've also noticed it on the 330's.
I believe that the 350 is quieter, though I haven't used a meter on either of them.
Those 787 tinted windows? Both good and bad. They won't completely block the sun like the shades, BUT, the FA's are able to override the one idiot on the entire plane that wants to open his shade when everyone else on the aircraft has theirs closed and are trying to sleep.
Am a boeing fan and surely like the Dreamliner especially the b787-10 but the a350 family is also cool especially the a350-1000
and also cant wait for the B777x-9 & 8 to enter into service
Great video! Just a few points to make:
- 787-10 has range 6345nmi, 777-200er 7065 and A350-900 8100nmi
- A350 is arguably also reactionary to the hugely popular 777 outselling A340 at the time, and the new 787
- 787-9 is indeed most optimised but -10 is also optimised in seat cost just that it takes a hit in range
Thanks for the great video looking forward to more!
No matter what, even if Boeing releases new super hot jet, the A350 will always be my favorite. Mainly because Philippines Airlines operates it and I like them.
Totally agree. Its comfortable af, plus the expert pilots (with the smooth landings), its all-out comfort.
Zedric Louis Bores Same here. I’ve not flown on the Philippines Airlines version but I have flown in the Qatar Airways 900 and 1000 variants. I also got to fly on the 787, and I can say, I think I prefer the A350. It’s technology is slightly more advanced.
Totally team 787!!
Go Team 787! I flew the 787, and it was my best ever flying opportunity! Cant say the same about the A350
Boeing’s philosophy of stretching Engineering to meet Market needs. Maybe you could do a video on this. When I learned that the 737 has the highest landing speed? ,tail strike concerns and generally a more primitive approach than its competitor, I wondered now much of a handicap this is for Boeing.
The 737 MAX also has that delightful MCAS system ...
They are competitors in the replacement cycles, 777-200s and even 777-300s will be primarily replaced by these two aircraft. Airbus is marketing the a350-900 against the 787 in the 200 campaigns and Boeing is marketing the 787 against the a350 in 300 campaigns. The a350-900 and the 787-10 are both less optimized than their siblings.
Team 787 all the way!
Team a350 bro, hands down in Range and pax yet fuel efficient, modern and quiet. 787 is great but it’s a slightly smaller plane.
Personally, its quite hard to choose which aircraft should operate if i have an airline, regardless of cost, given that i do love all four of the twinjet widebody (A330, A350, 777 and 787).
But i'll make it short for my personal likes, at least for airliner in the 2020s, regardless of the cost to operate:
On narrowbody, the A220 will be the overall workhorse. This operate along with 737ng (-800 and -900er) that delivered in early 2010s, and the A320neo and A321neo.
The A330neo have always become one of my favourite aircraft, even all the way to its first Airbus, the A300. This aircraft will do work as the workhorse widebody on mid-to-long haul. Probably replacing the A330ceo.
The 777-200, both ER and non-ER, while a lovely aircraft, needed to be replaced as it aged. Not concerning the cost, it would be replaced by the 787-10 and A350-900, for mid-haul and long-haul respectively.
In mixture of the A340-600, 777-300 and some 747-400, it will be replaced by 777-300er on earlier retired model, and A350-1000 on later retired model.
Last but not the least, the remaining 747-400 will be replaced by the 747-8i. The A380 would be nice, but rather in small quantity in second-hand (and later refurbished) from airline that are having trouble on getting rid of it.
Also, the thumbnail looks like an idea for fictional widebody twinjets in games, like GTA.
As your video says, it’s absurd to ask which one I prefer because they are different, it is like asking: which plane you prefer, the a340 or the 767? Makes little sense even though some variant might compete against each other
A350-900 is the competitor of B787-9 & B787-10.
A350-1000 is the competitor to the B777 aircraft.
Wow, it’s almost like you didn’t pay any attention to either of Coby’s videos! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@KasabianFan44 actually marquis is not wrong. In terms of the length of cabin, the A350-900 is right in between the 2 B787 variant. The B787-9 was originally designed for a smaller market, to replace the B767-300ER, but most airlines opted for a higher density layout and that lead it to indirectly compete with the A350-900.
The A350-1000 on the other hand was designed to directly replace the B777-300ER. It's has almost the same exact cabin dimensions in terms of length, only few inches different. The only substantial difference between the two is the A350-1000 has 4 doors while the B777-300ER has 5 doors.
Ching Wei Xion
“In terms of the length of cabin, the A350-900 is right between the 2 787 variants” - wow, not only is this completely not true at all, but clearly you didn’t pay attention either.
This video literally says that the only planes of comparable sizes are the largest 787 (-10) and the smallest A350 (-900). And even then, this video explicitly says that the A350-900 is over 20 seats bigger (NOT smaller!) than the 787. These are facts that you can very easily look up yourself; it will take you about 2 minutes, and you will save yourself the time you’d otherwise spend on pointless arguing.
For the last time: there exists NO variant of the A350 that is smaller than any 787. There would have been, had the A350-800 been built as originally planned, but that was cancelled soon after the -900’s first flight.
@@KasabianFan44 I'm sorry to say this but coby has got his fact wrong on this. You can spend 10 mins to compare the dimensions provided on the airport planning and characteristics document available from both airbus and boeing websites. Take the distance from the first door to the last and you will see that what I mentioned was right. With both aircraft having the same seating configuration of 9 abreast in economy and 1-2-1 in business, there is no way the A350-900 can seat more people with the same standard/specification.
Ching Wei Xion
Wrong, you say? Considering that on their official websites the companies state that its three-class A350-900 can seat about as many passengers as a two-class (!) 787-10, I’ll have to go with Coby’s word on this. Annoyingly Boeing doesn’t give maximum capacity in its spec but I can assure you it’s nowhere near the 440 mark that Airbus claims for its -900.

Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 both are so cool in their on places... Its so difficult to choose one... I will go with the Boeing 787 😊🙏 cuz its name is a Dreamliner and A350 named it XWB (eXtra WideBody) damn both look so beautiful though but again in their own ways... 😅
I haven't had a chance to fly on either the 787 or the A350 yet, but hopefully we'll be flying again soon and I'll get to.
I think the Airbus did a very clever thing switching the A350 from a 787 competitor to a (mainly) 777 competitor. The A330NEO is still somewhat competitive with the 787, and I think there's still scope for at least one more generation of that airframe. However, it was clear that airlines were moving away from 4-engine jets, and the only thing Airbus had that was in the same league as the 777 was the 4-engined A340. Clearly they needed a new aircraft in that sector, and the fact it came out around the time airlines were replacing their 777s (and when Boeing's 777-8 isn't ready) puts the A350 in a very good place.
I'd love to experience both the 787 and the A350, but if I had to pick one to experience first, I think I'd have to go with the A350.
Thanks !
i love both the 787 and a350
Guys that are passionate about something are so loveable
Name of intro music?
Love your videos btw
see i love both but personally i have to go with the 787 because i love the look more
he he he you are a good teacher, young man.
i just love the look of the 787, I mean the a350 too but 787 more so. So I am probably team 787
I think the B787 wing is beautiful, but I prefer riding in the A350 ...
787! 787! 787!
P.S.: I am a Mcdonnell Douglas lover, but definitely, Boeing is better then Airbus!
If I were an airline replacing 777-200s I would go for the 787-10 over a350 because then I could have commonality with smaller variants of the 787. These smaller variants would be a lot more useful than a350-1000s. And for where the lower 787-10 range becomes an issue, just use a 787-9 with more frequencies.
United, Air New Zealand, and British Airways have all likely ordered the 787-10 for this reason!
Team a350 here I love the a350 the design and sound is just so beautiful. I actually want to fly the aircraft one day.
I would go with the 787, however, I believe that Airbus is better suited for passenger planes while Boeing is better at making cargo planes.
Ferrari is good at making cars but Ford makes a mean van :)
John Garrett Is there a cargo variant of the 787?
@@grahamturner2640 From my quick 60 seconds of research, it doesnt look like there is a truly cargo 787, however Boeing has ones such as the 757, 767, 777, and of course the 747 as all excellent freighters.
Graham Turner In 30 years from now.
Well the A340 vs 777 proved Boeing is a leader in innovation.
I don't think I have a preference anymore. I used to think the a350's snub-nose looked a little awkward, but I'm over it and I think both are absolutely gorgeous airframes. I would love to get a chance to fly on both types, either as a passenger or in the front!!!
Team A350 here.
I used to prefer all Boeing. However, after flying on competing Airbus planes, even within the same carrier, I have since shifted to prefer Airbus. They are just much more comfortable as a passenger. Now I actively look for what plane is on a route before booking and will often choose an Airbus option over a Boeing option if there are choices within my timeframe and preferred carriers.
To me, the 787 has fantastic marketing, and is a great plane on it's own, but it just doesn't quite measure up to passenger comfort on the A350. I think the marketing is why so many "prefer" the 787.
Let's go team A220/A320Neo/A350!
and this video is a1 and describes my exact views on both planes
I really like A350 it is really smart the A359-900 variant beat B787-9 and B787-8 and in passenger capacity the A350-1000 it beats B777x (not released yet even in late 2023) and it has the same Fancy Ness as B787 it is super impressive
TEAM A350!!!!
Like if you agree
787 as I work on them day in and day out….love the dimmable windows
What if you compare them Cargo wise?
I experience an preference for the 787 over the 350
Cargo volume wise the A350-900 carries is able to carry 36 LD3 containers while the B787-9 carries 4 less and the B787-10 carries 4 more than the A350-900. However payload wise, the A350-900 tops both the B787 variant.
Both planes look really nice
I have flown both A350 and 787. I think A350 does better than 787. Again this is just my opinion and it could be because one was Egypt Air and the other was Qatar. I think 350 feels bigger, better and more comfortable than 787. Plus I hated that window dimming feature because I felt like I had no control if I want to look outside when feeling claustrophobic. Lastly, I think in coming years, 350 will compete with 777X more than anything else. 787 will be there but will fall out of the competition and let’s see what Airbus has to offer as an alternative.
