The Largest Airbus Twin Engine Plane
Measuring nearly 74 metres from nose-to-tail, the A350-1000 is the longest-fuselage version of Airbus’ all-new family of twin-aisle, widebody jetliners.
In a typical three-class configuration, featuring the company’s 18-inch-wide economy class seats for modern comfort, the A350-1000 seats a total of 366 passengers
I was invited by Airbus to Toulouse to have a tour of the Largest Airbus Twin Engine plane.
