The A350 and B787 Dreamliner are the world\u2019s most advanced airplanes, produced respectively by Airbus<\/a> (Europe) and Boeing<\/a> (USA). The latter was the first of the two companies to introduce the concept of a revolutionary new and fuel-efficient plane. The first B787 was unveiled in 2007 during a roll-out ceremony at Boeing’s factory near Seattle, although it took another 2 years for the maiden flight (2009) and 4 more years for the first commercial flight (2011, All Nippon Airways) since the prestigious project suffered a series of massive delays. The A350 was originally conceived in 2004 as an improved version of the\u00a0A330, featuring the same\u00a0fuselage albeit paired with new aerodynamic features and engines. However, in 2006, Airbus was forced to rethink its aircraft model in response to Boeing’s B787 project and consequent criticism by the airlines that the new Airbus plane was not revolutionary enough. After a complete redesign, the first A350 took off in 2013, while the first A350 entered passenger service two years later with its launch customer, Qatar Airways. I have been lucky to fly on both aircraft types, and I have previously published several trip reports about these experiences:<\/p>\n
