I have had the pleasure of travelling on this beautiful aircraft 4 times (A350-1000), quiet, spacious, very comfortable and so stunning to look at. Truly so wonderful. Well done Airbus!
After all those incidents and accidents with the new Boeings going on I trust Airbus more than ever in doing things right. Quality control must never be compromised!
Not quite . Some structural issues remain, The stress test limit to destruction was missed, but still certified. There are also flutter test, with uncertain statistical variations . To be sure this are limit load margins, not ever reached in operation , unless there are related to fatigue, a long time effect due the numer of load cycles, high frequency in the case of vibration and low frequency in case of flight cycles , number of landings, pressurization etc. Some sructurally safe but drag increasing local skin separations was a big problem, when Quatar grounded their A 350 fleet in a dispute with Airbus.
The A350 is without a doubt an authentic work of art. From its innovative technology, safety, comfort, capacity, reliability, autonomy, efficiency, among many other aspects. I could spend long minutes listing the positive aspects of this particular model. I would like to express my enormous gratitude to everyone involved in this project, from those responsible for the simplest tasks, to those responsible for the most complex and advanced systems that make up the A350. I hope they continue for many years to make aviation more spectacular than it already is day by day. For now it's just a dream, but I hope one day to be able to have the great pleasure of flying the A350.
Isn't 'flying' one of these just more-or-less supervising the automation outside of a few minutes on either end ? There can be little comparison to fighter jet flying I would think - or even a crop duster maybe ? 'Stick and rudder ' skills don't apply to commercial airliners I would imagine . Is that fair ?
I used to love Boeing when I was younger but now Airbus is my favorite, especially considering all the crap happening with Boeing recently. The A350 is such an amazing plane and I hope to get to fly it someday
36:29 I just LOVE tiny food on huge plates. It's all so classy and French. It satisfies one's sense of sophisticattion while remaining just as hungry. A Touch of Chic, truly.
You idiots. Boeing is still far safer than Airbus. Airbus: 35 crashes, 28.3 million flights, 0.81 million flights per crash. Boeing: 251 crashes, 461 million flights, 1.84 million flights per crash. Boeing is over twice as safe. Quit talking about shit you know nothing about.
ye 737 max was a failure but I actually like Boeing more than airbus the models I like the most are 737, 747 and 787 dreamliner they look amazing, and on airbus the only model I love so far are a380 and 320 neo, the rest are meh and this 350 just looks like they copied 787. I am from europe btw.
I flew long-haul 14 hrs flights on the A350-1000 and -900 on both economy and business classes. The in-flight experience is unmatched and the air is so comfortable when compared to a 777-300. Heck it is much more comfortable when compared to a 787-9 which I took from ORD-AKL. This is truly one remarkable engineering marvel.
I guess that the original "pilot in command of the aircraft" smoke-screen was nothing but resistance against Airbus' push towards fly-by-wire technology. A move that in the long run was inevitable. That Boeing BS suggested that Airbus pilots had no direct contact with the control surfaces of the aircraft, and thus were no longer in control. That was not a philosophy, that was a dumb-ass excuse for not facing some inevitable automation realities and - most of all - for not pulling the finger out of the anus and GET SOME INNOVATION ON THE TABLE. Not knowing how else to declare defeat in face of Airbus being clearly outperforming them, they shoved MCAS under the butt of pilots. Fly by mis-wire, the Boeing way. The rest is history.
20:20 “..and that underlies then overall Boeing philosophy of having the pilot in full command of the capability of the airplane.” - uuuhhhh... MCAS WHAT ??

Love everything about this documentary except for the actual plane maneuvers the camera did all the work with moving and 15 different jump cuts. Great work Airbus ❤
I loved it when Boeing execs say the pilot is in full control of the flight and "there are other things on board that you wont know" seeing how the MCAS was a monumental screw up costsing 2 crashes.
The 737Max crashes were caused by pilots in third world countries who are weak in English and didn't understand the manuals. Boeing has, since then, dumbed down the manuals to meet the low English proficiency of these third world pilots (usually the result of nepotism in admission to flight schools in third world countries). Boeing 737Max is a superb plane (for the money) and airlines are buying them as fast as they can. If you fly the 787 copy (A350) carry lots of water. These planes are highly flammable. 🤣

Beware of Boeing. In 2015, an auditor with the Federal Aviation Administration discovered a Boeing subcontractor was falsifying certifications on cargo doors for hundreds of 777s and had been doing so for years, according to interviews and government documents. Boeing mechanics were leaving tools inside plane wings, precariously close to the cables that control their movements. Workers also were improperly installing wires in 787s, which could increase the risk of shorts or fires, FAA officials found. Repeatedly, safety lapses were identified, and Boeing would agree to fix them, then fail to do so, the FAA said. The agency launched or was considering more than a dozen legal enforcement cases against the company for failing to comply with safety regulations, a review of FAA records shows, with fines that could have totaled tens of millions of dollars. So FAA officials tried a new approach. Rather than pursue each violation separately, agency officials bundled them together and negotiated a broader deal. In 2015, the FAA decided to try to get Boeing to meet, then go beyond, federal safety requirements by addressing broader corporate culture and governance issues, including what agency officials considered a lack of transparency. The week before Christmas of that year, Boeing and the FAA signed a five-year settlement agreement that was unprecedented in scope. The company paid a modest $12 million penalty, but it agreed to make significant changes in its internal safety systems and practices for “ensuring compliance” with regulations. In the days after the agreement was signed, top U.S. officials cast it as a powerful reminder that every company, no matter its size, must comply with minimum safety standards. But Boeing’s profits after signing the deal topped $20 billion by the end of September 2018, making the company’s $12 million penalty easy to gloss over despite occasional press reports of the firm’s shortcomings. The company committed to improving the quality and timeliness of information it provides to the FAA. But in the case of the 737 Max, the FAA said, it took Boeing more than a year to notify it about a software problem that disabled a crucial warning light connected to the automated system at the center of the tragedies.
I have been on a Munich to Hong Kong flight in September of last year on an A380. Lufthansa is my favourite airline and the future of Lufthansa and the A350 will be interesting to see!
I have a big fear of flying but learning about how safe the plane I'll be going on has really helped me! It has been really interesting learning as well! thank you for this Documentary!
Same i've always been kind of anxious when flying but watching documentaries like these has made me feel a lot safer going forward which is awesome because i actually like flying overall, i always pick the window seat
99% of cabin crew are absolutely lovely, I’ve had very, very few bad interactions with them and they’re incredibly understanding. I always try and remember that all the crew and pilots want to get home too, their own lives are in their hands as well as ours x
After the Japan airline 350 fire, Airlines will be dumping the 350. 737 Max crashes happened because third-world pilots lacked English proficiency and didn't understand the manuals. These incompetent pilots committed suicide, taking all passengers with them. Boeing has dumbed down the manuals since then, but I would avoid third world airlines, simply because their pilot selection process is rife with nepotism (as opposed to the people themselves having any problem). Meanwhile, airlines are buying the 737max as fast as they can. Airbus is a state funded company and makes bad decisions. The A380 was just like the Concorde, a complete commercial failure. So Airbus copied the 787 to make the a350. But the A350 burns very easily. Like Tinder. Airlines will be dumping A350s after the Japanese A350 burnt down to ashes after a minor hit.
@@1zui I did work in Boeing Integrated Defense, but I also worked in Europe, and have a pretty comprehensive understanding of the two companies. For example, A380, Concorde were both created as 'national pride' projects, because Europe feels they need to better than US. But politically motivated products don't get accepted by the market. So both planes were commercial failures. This does not being Airbus engineers (French or German) are bad. The 350 was created by copying the 787 in a hurry since Airbus is under pressure to show success after commercial failure of both A340 and A380. So they cut corners and used flammable plastic in the plastic-composite fuselage. Since most people will not understand this, and there is too much misguided praise of the A350, I decided to share some facts. But they are just that, facts. You can verify it all. Look up high Temperature Plastic Composites, PMR15, etc.
Yes. But its conception was heavilly … influenced by the concorde. To return the favor to the concorde, what did it do ? It crashed at an airshow. And then crashed again later. It only flew on interior routes and even Russians didn't want to fly it at one point (it became a cargo…). It flew so few that it can't really be considered a confirmed airliner : Concorde was the only real SST airliner.
20:20 "and that underlies the overall Boeing philosophy of having the pilot in full command of the capability of the airplane" was this documentary made before 2018 , when the 737 MAX MCAS crashes happened?
Amazing how brilliant human beings are with all this wonderful technology. Studying human comfort and protecting the environment making aircraft state of the art! Thank you 😊
@@747heavyboeing3 There is a problem on some, it is fixable and unlike Boeing not a killer of passengers.

@@747heavyboeing3yeah due to pilot error mostly, you have no area to talk you literally are a Boeing fanboy it’s all over in your username lol, atleast Airbus is innovating instead of keeping 60 year old airframe like Boeing and slapping some new engines on it
If you are an international engineer, then you can understand what ever units that are used. Even in some SI metric countries, their scale may not be in thousands but rather hundred of thousands.
Temple Cat As an American Aerospace engineer have been using both systems my whole career. That’s just the way it is, and most people just deal with it.
Just flew Singapore A350 - 900 to LA, over midway Island, heavy Turbulence ROCK the plane so severely up to the Pacific coast on 8 hrs duration and aircraft survived
Actually... the A350 is sized more to compete with the first generation of 777 airliners than the 787, and Boeing is making the 777X to keep their most profitable widebody airliner competitive. Also, the Russian Tupolev Tu-144 beat the Concorde to the sky by a few months, but a crash at the Paris Air Show and one later on in Aeroflot service made sure that it had a short life.
Looks to me like Boeing's become the Avis of airline manufacturing. This Airbus factory is absolutely amazing! Just the factory itself is amazing much less the airplane they're building.
The statement about the 18” seat width vs 17” seat width is absolutely true. I flew on the United 787i in economy plus no less, and the 17.3” seat was noticeably too small, and kept me from getting comfortable for sleep. It’s the little things.
Yes, the little things. I don’t want fancy electronics in my head area with the pull-down screen. I just want to be able to stretch my legs straight or put it higher. I’ve been on both Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and Airbus A350. The Dreamliner is super comfortable with state-of-the-art window screen controls and the A350 is very comfortable as well. It really makes a difference because you arrive less tired even though you have been flying very long hours.
As to whether the A350 is a competitor of the 787 or the 777, it is more one which bridges the gap, with overlap onto both. While not as efficient or as advanced on paper, but with lower operating costs under certain circumstances, the A330neo is possibly the closest Airbus competition to the 787, unlike the A320neo series and the 737max which are direct competitors.
Boeing has gone downhill, I for one will not fly in a Boeing again after reading the following. In 2015, an auditor with the Federal Aviation Administration discovered a Boeing subcontractor was falsifying certifications on cargo doors for hundreds of 777s and had been doing so for years, according to interviews and government documents.

@@barrierodliffe4155 No it has not. The Dreamliner beats the Airbus 330 in most markets. The B777-300ER beats the Airbus 340 older & newer generation aircraft. Airbus is winning in other markets. Boeing wins in some areas and so does Airbus. Like it or not.
I am a Boeing fan boy, but recently they disappointed me and other Boeing fans with the two crashes of their 737Max aircraft. But i also love Airbus, especially the A340, A380 and the new A350. The outside and the cockpit of the A350 are just mind blowing beautiful. If Boeing doesn't get their s*it together soon I might switch to being an Airbus fan boy, but mostly I am just a fan of aviation all together.
They missed mentioning the flammability of the A350. The A350 burns very easily. Like Tinder. Airlines will be dumping A350s after the Japanese A350 burnt down to ashes after a minor hit.
34:25 To say Hong Kong's landing is easy is a bit wrong. The south side of the man-made island airport is a tall mountain that disturbs wind pattern and produce downdrafts right at the runway threshold.
Wow I know Mrs Brenda Lincoln . I met her at a conference in carlifornia 2019 where she introduced us his business strategy, she helped me cover my student loans
@9:00 mark, wings are 3-D printed. Oh great. Do they have data on de-lamination after 20 years of use? For cabins, 20 years of pressurization and de-pressurization? I doubt it. I guess they'll learn from experience.
I think the reason Concord was able to achieve such records is because the design as ahead, the engines were incredible but also it looks like the overall airframe was rigid - it didn't allow for sharp or harsh manoeuvres essentially acting like a high speed train in the air, therefor the turning circle had to be greater
Innovation leads to greater heights.. innovation also tends to lead to pilot miss interpretation....or ground maintenance errors...may we always land safely.. into the embraces of our loved ones at the departure of each and every flight... I’m 100% thank god
I am 70 and would like flying on one (as on bucket list) I live by O'Hare Chicago and like watching planes but have not seen one yet although on Jan. 28, 2020, the first of eight new SAS Airbus A350 jets was s scheduled to enter into service between Copenhagen and Chicago O’Hare. If anyone does fly one would they please post their personal video I think many would love to share the experience.
Very interesting documentary, I've flown in all classes on many different types of Aeroplanes, my main concern is the plane takes off and lands safely, I never use in-flight entertainment and I'm not that bothered by the food available. As long as I arrive in one piece with minimal disruption then I'm a happy bunny
5:24 they want all the contact resistances low but the engineer says if the current gets too high during lightning it heats up. This tells me he doesn't know what he is doing exactly. It's high resistances that cause the heating up. A resistor is just converting electrical energy into heat energy so we give it as little opportunity to heat up as possible. We support the lightning current through the airframe and components as much as possible but only in the places we want it to go. High current is okay as long as it isn't going into expensive computers, etc.

Talking about the Concorde.
Inserting footages of the Tu-144.
I have worked on B787 and A350 as an Avionics Tech....and I like 350 a lot!
On a video game
I have been on a Munich to Hong Kong flight in September of last year on an A380. Lufthansa is my favourite airline and the future of Lufthansa and the A350 will be interesting to see!
I miss the a380 on the flights to Los Angeles. It was always such a special feeling getting on that plane and taking off
The 350 burns very easily. Like Tinder. Airlines will be dumping A350s after the Japanese A350 burnt down to ashes after a minor hit.
31:00 GE engine, not P&W
Lol that bothered me alot more then is should have😂
Triggered me so much lmao
Bothered me too
I have a big fear of flying but learning about how safe the plane I'll be going on has really helped me! It has been really interesting learning as well! thank you for this Documentary!
It's far safer than driving, or even trains.
Same i've always been kind of anxious when flying but watching documentaries like these has made me feel a lot safer going forward which is awesome because i actually like flying overall, i always pick the window seat
99% of cabin crew are absolutely lovely, I’ve had very, very few bad interactions with them and they’re incredibly understanding.
I always try and remember that all the crew and pilots want to get home too, their own lives are in their hands as well as ours x
I once flew on the A350-941 with Scandinavian Airlines from Oslo to Newark, NJ and I LOVED IT!!❤❤❤❤❤
33:57 I like how they said Pratt and Whitney when the 777 uses General Electric GE90s.
Tim Davie wrong time stamp. The 777-300ER and 777-200LR/F uses GE90 only but the 777-200ER also use the Trent 800 or PW4000
“At Boeing too, all aircraft are thoroughly checked and examined before they are delivered…”
*Boeing 737 Max leaves chat*
i get it
Are you a comedian?
After the Japan airline 350 fire, Airlines will be dumping the 350.
737 Max crashes happened because third-world pilots lacked English proficiency and didn't understand the manuals. These incompetent pilots committed suicide, taking all passengers with them. Boeing has dumbed down the manuals since then, but I would avoid third world airlines, simply because their pilot selection process is rife with nepotism (as opposed to the people themselves having any problem). Meanwhile, airlines are buying the 737max as fast as they can.
Airbus is a state funded company and makes bad decisions. The A380 was just like the Concorde, a complete commercial failure. So Airbus copied the 787 to make the a350.
But the A350 burns very easily. Like Tinder. Airlines will be dumping A350s after the Japanese A350 burnt down to ashes after a minor hit.
@@joeschmoe21 do you really believe what you are writing there? This is hilarious. Do you own Boeing stock or are you just a fanboy?
@@1zui I did work in Boeing Integrated Defense, but I also worked in Europe, and have a pretty comprehensive understanding of the two companies. For example, A380, Concorde were both created as 'national pride' projects, because Europe feels they need to better than US. But politically motivated products don't get accepted by the market. So both planes were commercial failures. This does not being Airbus engineers (French or German) are bad. The 350 was created by copying the 787 in a hurry since Airbus is under pressure to show success after commercial failure of both A340 and A380. So they cut corners and used flammable plastic in the plastic-composite fuselage. Since most people will not understand this, and there is too much misguided praise of the A350, I decided to share some facts. But they are just that, facts. You can verify it all. Look up high Temperature Plastic Composites, PMR15, etc.
I don't think 777 freighters have three decks 29:35. Also, the TU-144 is techinically the first SST even if it wasn't successful.
And some of the "Concorde" footage shows the Tu-144 and models of the 2707.
Yes. But its conception was heavilly … influenced by the concorde. To return the favor to the concorde, what did it do ? It crashed at an airshow. And then crashed again later. It only flew on interior routes and even Russians didn't want to fly it at one point (it became a cargo…). It flew so few that it can't really be considered a confirmed airliner : Concorde was the only real SST airliner.
B777 have Crew Rest Rooms above the Passengers .. it may said third deck
@@maxcyber If that's supposed to be your rebuttal for it being the first, you've failed. Yes, but?
@@khawarkhokhar5870 29:40 not like that
I didn't think I was going to watch the whole thing, but apparently interesting!!!

Wanted the documentary of Beriev aircrafts
EXCELLENT....OUTSTANDING....Thanks very much...From Kentucky USA...!
WELT
Why do we talk about other aircraft. When it's a A350 feature?
B777F is equipped with GE engines - not PW
Does anybody else think aviation is underrated
Your mum. Definitely
20:20 "and that underlies the overall Boeing philosophy of having the pilot in full command of the capability of the airplane"
was this documentary made before 2018 , when the 737 MAX MCAS crashes happened?
😀
And then there was Covid 19. Fascinating video thank you
The research shows that one inch makes all the difference
See boys, size does matter
Who has research this matter? Hugh Hephner maybe?
Thats what my girlfriend said
Amazing how brilliant human beings are with all this wonderful technology. Studying human comfort and protecting the environment making aircraft state of the art! Thank you 😊
We human beings are awesome!!!
We are a credit to God's wisdom!!!
Just look at the current state of the world.
How true but the mankind always deny God
its not even our technology
Thank you for your speech. Now shut up
This is engineering at its best a great achievement for mankind for human to explore.
They are already being grounded.
They have degrading fuselage problems
@@747heavyboeing3 There is a problem on some, it is fixable and unlike Boeing not a killer of passengers.
In 2015, an auditor with the Federal Aviation Administration discovered a Boeing subcontractor was falsifying certifications on cargo doors for hundreds of 777s and had been doing so for years, according to interviews and government documents.
Boeing mechanics were leaving tools inside plane wings, precariously close to the cables that control their movements. Workers also were improperly installing wires in 787s, which could increase the risk of shorts or fires, FAA officials found.
Repeatedly, safety lapses were identified, and Boeing would agree to fix them, then fail to do so, the FAA said. The agency launched or was considering more than a dozen legal enforcement cases against the company for failing to comply with safety regulations, a review of FAA records shows, with fines that could have totaled tens of millions of dollars.
So FAA officials tried a new approach. Rather than pursue each violation separately, agency officials bundled them together and negotiated a broader deal.
In 2015, the FAA decided to try to get Boeing to meet, then go beyond, federal safety requirements by addressing broader corporate culture and governance issues, including what agency officials considered a lack of transparency.
The week before Christmas of that year, Boeing and the FAA signed a five-year settlement agreement that was unprecedented in scope. The company paid a modest $12 million penalty, but it agreed to make significant changes in its internal safety systems and practices for “ensuring compliance” with regulations.

@@barrierodliffe4155 Like Scarebus has never had any plane crashes.
@@747heavyboeing3yeah due to pilot error mostly, you have no area to talk you literally are a Boeing fanboy it’s all over in your username lol, atleast Airbus is innovating instead of keeping 60 year old airframe like Boeing and slapping some new engines on it
"We're completely satisfied"
DRAMATIC MUSIC
27:51 that's what she said
lol ;)
lmao
Lufthansa crews are always awesome!
Two major mistakes in this documentary about the 777, it’s a double deck cargo, not triple. The engines are GE and not PW
I think they are talking about the older 777s and not the 777x....older 777s have PW engines, 777x are coming out with GE9x engines
@@gautamdevashish older 777s mainly had the GE90 engines that produced the highest thrust before the 777x GE9x engines.
Avery Madden and they’re still making the 777Ws and 777Fs with GE90s
everyone forgets the original 777’s came with 3 Engine options PW, GE, RR, its forgotten nowdays its pretty much GE
777F always came with GE.
Thank you for using internationally understood Metric units consistently throughout!
If you are an international engineer, then you can understand what ever units that are used. Even in some SI metric countries, their scale may not be in thousands but rather hundred of thousands.
Temple Cat As an American Aerospace engineer have been using both systems my whole career. That’s just the way it is, and most people just deal with it.
@@templecat3974 In Europe except for the UK, almost nobody understands imperial units. Maybe engineers in the aviation industry but only few others.
@@arnoldhau1 so you've gone throughout Europe and asked everybody, right?
or how else would you come up with that conclusion?
@@mariacheebandidos7183 Yes. It was quite an effort for a RUclips comment, but I guess it was worth it.
Am in love with aircraft engineering...it's just an engineering marvel .
Airbus is miles ahead of Boeing in quality control.
Doubt it. The paint is peeling off from their airplanes...
Boeing is shite since they went on the stock market . Airbus is miles ahead .
@@dss12Boeing has the same issue, have you not seen the amount of speed tape on some 787s?
Just flew Singapore A350 - 900 to LA, over midway Island, heavy Turbulence ROCK the plane so severely up to the Pacific coast on 8 hrs duration and aircraft survived
This channel is extremely informative about vehicles n all
ive seen a few documentaries on this channel, always impressive content
@wookie5689 you said american not me. and im not american either
Actually... the A350 is sized more to compete with the first generation of 777 airliners than the 787, and Boeing is making the 777X to keep their most profitable widebody airliner competitive.
Also, the Russian Tupolev Tu-144 beat the Concorde to the sky by a few months, but a crash at the Paris Air Show and one later on in Aeroflot service made sure that it had a short life.
20:10 you sure about that? Tell that to the 737 Max
The powerplant/engine for the 777 Cargo is General Electric, not Pratt and Whitney
I was looking for someone to point that out
Exactly, fail on the research part of the documentary maker.
07:11 onwards: 'we allow about 40 litres per passenger'.
1,400 / 40 = 35 passengers?
I think you meant *four* litres per passenger!
26:55 the cabin pressure is actually higher... meaning an experience at a lower altitude
Yeah, probably a mistranslation.
Looks to me like Boeing's become the Avis of airline manufacturing. This Airbus factory is absolutely amazing! Just the factory itself is amazing much less the airplane they're building.
The statement about the 18” seat width vs 17” seat width is absolutely true. I flew on the United 787i in economy plus no less, and the 17.3” seat was noticeably too small, and kept me from getting comfortable for sleep. It’s the little things.
There is a very big difference between a 17,3" seat witdh and a 18" seat witdh ?
If is true why a larger seat is technolog argument?
Yes, the little things. I don’t want fancy electronics in my head area with the pull-down screen. I just want to be able to stretch my legs straight or put it higher. I’ve been on both Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and Airbus A350. The Dreamliner is super comfortable with state-of-the-art window screen controls and the A350 is very comfortable as well. It really makes a difference because you arrive less tired even though you have been flying very long hours.
Magnificent aircraft. Flew the A350-1000 from Doha to Dulles, and it's so quiet and very comfortable.
I'm a huge fan of both the A350-900s and of the 787-8s!!!!!! Both of these planes are new school classics 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Shut up
Love that attention to quality control checks , Air Bus & Boeing Are My Fav's . This Video Was Way More Than Just New Airplanes .

@@bschell1969 Oh sorry
I would just be sure that any "automatic" safety feature can always be overruled by the pilot!
Yep, just ask Captain Kevin Sullivan from QANTAS, A330.
nice watching this I will love to work here as an assembly technician
As to whether the A350 is a competitor of the 787 or the 777, it is more one which bridges the gap, with overlap onto both. While not as efficient or as advanced on paper, but with lower operating costs under certain circumstances, the A330neo is possibly the closest Airbus competition to the 787, unlike the A320neo series and the 737max which are direct competitors.
I came to the comments to see the Boeing Bashing---Not disappointed!
Impresionante, maravilla tecnológica
27:54 *"One inch makes all the difference."*
You're damn right:
- One inch more and I would be a KING !!!
- One inch less and I would be a QUEEN !!!

I love both Boeing and Airbus. They *both* produce great planes and have proven their potential. Like it or not.
Boeing has gone downhill, I for one will not fly in a Boeing again after reading the following.

@@barrierodliffe4155 No it has not. The Dreamliner beats the Airbus 330 in most markets. The B777-300ER beats the Airbus 340 older & newer generation aircraft. Airbus is winning in other markets. Boeing wins in some areas and so does Airbus. Like it or not.
I would love to sample the Chef's food. He is a fine gentleman who truely cares about his craft...
I am a Boeing fan boy, but recently they disappointed me and other Boeing fans with the two crashes of their 737Max aircraft. But i also love Airbus, especially the A340, A380 and the new A350. The outside and the cockpit of the A350 are just mind blowing beautiful. If Boeing doesn't get their s*it together soon I might switch to being an Airbus fan boy, but mostly I am just a fan of aviation all together.
I used to be a Boeing fan. They simply got corrupt after adopting the MD culture.
this documentary is so nice
"These are of course tests that passengers in normal service would nnnnever experience." Looks like fun.
Aircraft is like alien tech. Imagine people seeing this sort of craft 100 years ago
24:15, got that wrong, it was the tupolev
She's a beauty
High quality video, thanks for sharing!
yeah! which timestamp MAS thumbnail had?
They missed mentioning the flammability of the A350. The A350 burns very easily. Like Tinder. Airlines will be dumping A350s after the Japanese A350 burnt down to ashes after a minor hit.
34:25 To say Hong Kong's landing is easy is a bit wrong. The south side of the man-made island airport is a tall mountain that disturbs wind pattern and produce downdrafts right at the runway threshold.
I love it how inclusive they are, towards women in the staff. I hope that the industry manages to recover quickly.
Why does that matter?
@@jetmech9287 Uh, because being inclusive is nothing but a positive and has no negatives?
31:01
It's powered by the General Electric GE90-110B1L, not Pratt's PW4000 Series
24:19 there was a supersonic Tupolev Tu-144 on the video mentioned, instead Concord lol
24:18 That’s the Tupolev TU-144, or the Konkordinski not the Concorde

@9:00 mark, wings are 3-D printed. Oh great. Do they have data on de-lamination after 20 years of use? For cabins, 20 years of pressurization and de-pressurization? I doubt it. I guess they'll learn from experience.
Well done and very informative. Keep up the good work folks.
Will do. Cheers
16:41, 30 degree bank angle not the same with 30% bank angle. Slight mistake but understandable. Great documentary though, very enjoyable.
24:15 Talking about Concorde a showing Tu144. With a huge TU sign. 😄😁
EUROPEAN ENGINEERING 👍👏
I think the reason Concord was able to achieve such records is because the design as ahead, the engines were incredible but also it looks like the overall airframe was rigid - it didn't allow for sharp or harsh manoeuvres essentially acting like a high speed train in the air, therefor the turning circle had to be greater
This was great. Loved the inclusion of Boeing models in the content.
WONDERFULL
A350 makes me feel safe ..
Plus having a french chef helps
Big plans for the future I see... Then comes COVID wooooo
big plains for the future of covid-19
Innovation leads to greater heights.. innovation also tends to lead to pilot miss interpretation....or ground maintenance errors...may we always land safely.. into the embraces of our loved ones at the departure of each and every flight... I’m 100% thank god
20:20 and this underlined the full capability of boeing pilots being in control of the plane #737 MAX
I flew on the A350 from Sydney to Hong Kong a few times. I really is a wonderful aircraft .
Correction: Minute ~30 you call it a Pratt & Whitney engine; it’s a GE90-110/115B
Great documentary
I am 70 and would like flying on one (as on bucket list) I live by O'Hare Chicago and like watching planes but have not seen one yet although on Jan. 28, 2020, the first of eight new SAS Airbus A350 jets was s scheduled to enter into service between Copenhagen and Chicago O’Hare. If anyone does fly one would they please post their personal video I think many would love to
share the experience.
Very interesting documentary, I've flown in all classes on many different types of Aeroplanes, my main concern is the plane takes off and lands safely, I never use in-flight entertainment and I'm not that bothered by the food available.
As long as I arrive in one piece with minimal disruption then I'm a happy bunny
I am the same exact. Just be happy you can get a nice seat and a good rest. Don't be rude to cabin crew as they will be the ones to save your life.
5:24 they want all the contact resistances low but the engineer says if the current gets too high during lightning it heats up. This tells me he doesn't know what he is doing exactly. It's high resistances that cause the heating up. A resistor is just converting electrical energy into heat energy so we give it as little opportunity to heat up as possible. We support the lightning current through the airframe and components as much as possible but only in the places we want it to go. High current is okay as long as it isn't going into expensive computers, etc.
