Airbus designed the Airbus A350 family to cover all sorts of long-haul travel, from dynamic long-haul operations between high-capacity trunk markets to record-setting ultra-long-haul connections. There are multiple variants within the family, with the Airbus A350-900 and the Airbus A350-1000 sharing a common airframe philosophy. Both include composite structures, advanced aerodynamics, and Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, but both variants have a unique purpose that differs slightly from each other. The Airbus A350-900, for starters, is the flexible workhorse of the family, and it is a baseline long-haul platform that many airlines use as a flagship. An Airbus A350-900ULR (for ultra-long-range) was also built to support Singapore Airlines’ record-setting missions to New York.
