The Boeing 777x vs Airbus A350 - Which Plane Is Best? 

As much as I love the 777X, I have to admit the A350 is an absolute marvel of engineering

I flew the A350-1000 Business Class on the Qatar QSuite from Dallas to Doha, Qatar then onto Chennai, India... Compared to many other planes, the A350-1000 made of composites was supremely quieter and I loved the huge windows... Looking forward to the 777X in a couple of years....! it looks like a winner by economical calculations & passenger comfort as well as sheer looks alone...

The A350 is a proven reality while the 777x still has to deliver its promise

I’m sure both are fabulously capable aircraft, but when push comes to shove, would I trust a new Boeing? - no. Airbus every time

Having flown the A350 on several different airlines (sihngapore, Thai and BA to name 3) I do love it. What would give me most cause for concern with the new 777 is that it is brough to us by the company that fudges issues to get certification on other developments of existing airframes and build quality issue. I think I would want to see it working for a fair while beforew I sit on it, mind you I said the same about flying twin jets across the Altantic many years ag

The A350 as its actually flying...

I love flying on the A350 and its unparalleled comfort but I'm really looking foward to trying the 777X.

Honestly, thank you for just starting the vid without any stupid bumpers or anything like that that wastes 5-10s of vid time. Really appreciate it.

I was rooting for the 777 but the A350 edges it out...the wingtip bend on the A350 is so cool.

I'm actually amazed how a350 is compared to both b777 and b787, and still is able to keep up or even outclass both on some areas

I already flew 2 times with the A350 and the Boeing 787-9 in the past 3 years. I must say that in terms of noise the Dreamliner is a little bit more quiet. But compared to A320/A330 and Boeing 777-200/300ER it feels like half the noise. Love them both.

A350 because its versatile and airbus can further extend on market demand as Ultrafan engines gets ready, and airbus will be in a position to launch a350 neo with further lower fuel burn hence making 777x more vulnerable. Already 777x wont be ready as early as 2025. Boeing will face the same issues like MAXX vs NEO in next 7-8 years.

I couldn't believe the listed price difference between the two planes when I looked it up. The A350 likely provides better fuel efficiency than the 777 all while coming in at $100 million less. Surely the only reason an airline would consider purchasing the 777 over the A350 is for larger capacity

As a European it would be helpful if you add metric scales as well…

One plane is actual certified

Qatar A350 Q-suite is probably the best flight experience I’ve ever had. So sad that Airbus and Qatar are on bad terms because it’s a great product

07:50 Surprising to see how much heavier the 777x is in comparison to its competitors.

Both are designed for very different needs. Airline CEO's will carfully decide which aircraft suite their needs and order accordingly.

From the numbers being shown (0.09 vs 0.11 lb/seat/nautical mile), the A350 offers 18% lower fuel consumption on a per passenger basis. This is a big advantage for Airbus; at least a generational gap.

The 777X has a lot of ground to make up when it finally makes it into service. As was the A380 the Achilles for Airbus, could the 777X be Boeing's??? The 747 had decades to make her mark and stamp herself as the Queen of the skies. While unfortunately the A380 will have far less time, despite being far superior in a lot of ways. Yes, the A350 will have only had a decade up it's sleeve by the time the 777X is supposedly going to be in service, but given the way technology moves, how the travel industry operates and several other factors... that 10 years advantage, may as well be 30 years. Meaning there's a lot of catching up to do! I look forward to flying with either when the time comes though, as I find long haul gruelling unfortunately, so anything that makes the flight more comfortable and quicker, whilst also being more efficient and environmentally friendly, to a point, is a good thing.

A350-1000 😎👌

You got this one right. All the numbers favor the A350 1000. The fact the A350 has better seat/mile economics that the larger 777x speaks volumes. Boeings money plane is the 787 in that it has similar technology to A350 & performance figures are very similar, particularly with GENX engines, by all accounts

What I liked most about the Airbus A350 XWB is in fact the tail and fuselage cameras, which is perfect for me to use during takeoff, landing, and even if my window shade is closed.

Doesn’t sound like the new 777 offers that much more than the A350-1000

A350-1000 certainly beat 777-9 efficiency in many way.....but Airlines decisions are very complex tasks....so many factors involved 🛫🤓

The A350 is such a comfortable plane. The width, wall shape and cabin pressure really makes a difference. The curved wings and cockpit windows are so good looking. The 777x looks very good too. If SQ keeps 333 on the 777x it will be very comfortable.

A350 >>

2:41 what a livery😍

I'd be cool to see an updated version of this comparison once the 777x actually starts being in service!

Both of the giants are quite good machines, however the time will show us which aircraft is better, it's a matter of time.

B777x order book been opened since 2013 with 341 orders.. whilst the first 9 years of A350 had 777 orders, that's more than double.

The Boeing 777-9 is a very promising jet and will be an important jet, wait a minute...will it enter service at the first place?probably

350 any day ! By far the best looking plane EVER, btw !

Man, I really hope Boeing are able to deliver on the 777x. Boeing really needs a win after the 737Max.

So the 777-9 empty weight is roughly 50 tonnes higher than 350-1000, while MTOW is 42 tonnes higher. There is no way the 777 can be more efficient with it's higher thrust engines.

A350 especially with the upgrades coming

Which is the best? The one that carries real passengers all over the world

like the A380, the 777X it is too big probably, but the 777X has composite wings, but still.. i think the A350 is the ideal.

The A350 is better overall, but the 777x will obviously be better on high demand routes, like Dubai to Heathrow

The Triple-7 is the best large airliner today, after the newest 747s. The 777-X variant will be here soon.

what is the website at 3:02?

It would be helpful if you add S.I units like kgs and kms. Thank you love your content.

I like the A350, a very comfortable airliner and one of my fav. But the 777 is where my aviation passion built in me when I was a kid, so I prefer the 777x.

Luv the wing design of 777x

The take off in 777 is worth every penny, those engines kick you in the butt

The 777x fuselage ripped badly during ground tests and Boeing brushed it off by saying the burst happened right at the end of the test, so no worries. After some bad landings and flying around in real-world conditions, that fuselage weakness gives me the creeps. Then there was a report that there was some kind of near-disaster during a flight test that is contributing to the delay in getting the plane flying with the airlines. Sir Tim Clark made the comment that Boeing hadn’t done its homework before committing the plane to begin airline flights some years ago. I sure hope airline engineers and the FAA go over the 777x very carefully before starting scheduled flights.

"The 777-X is proceeding nicely through its development.." Hahahah

777 all the way and has been proven to be an amaxzing aircraft

The one in service takes the win.

Boeing launched the 747 in 1966,entered revenue service in 1970,just 4 years,the 777x was launched in 2012 and is due to enter service in 2025,13 years,compare computer technology of the 60s in issues like design and calculations,with today technology,we are going backwards

The a350 is a great modern airliner and the 777 series is the most successful twin engine wide-jet . It's a pity if Boeing can't get its sh*t together and squanders its own engineering heritage.

I would look for comfort while I fly. 777x beats A350 in this regard

I love the A350 its my favorite plane

I think the triple 7 was supposed to have been revised, it would have been ideal if they thought of making it 50 or 60 percent composite in order to reduce its weight and increase fuel efficiency.

it’s premature as the 777-9 hasn’t entered service, both are great aircraft…so we’ll see but i’m voting for the 777-9….❤😊

Please use the metric system

WOOHOO! New vid!

The MTOW of A350-1000 is 319 Tons and the range is 16,100km

While I enjoy your content, but isn’t this video a little too soon? How can you declare an aircraft that’s been in service for 7yrs to an aircraft that hasn’t flown a single passenger the winner? That’s like comparing the 787 to Boeing’s next clean sheet aircraft that Calhoun says is a couple years off.

777 is a little bit better, for airlines weight and capacity matters, also 777-F is more desirable given the TOW.

How can a real comparison be made between a proven production aircraft and a prototype?

B777X wilt best plane out there.

777 is the one i chose cuz it is larger and a350 meh ok just a little bit shorter But ........ a350 imo is comfortable than 777

the one that sells at higher price maybe the best.

Triple 7 for me,bigger & more powerful is better but both very good.

All we need is an A350-1000 XL with 30 more seats and the 777X will be redundant, Im surprised Airbus haven’t made an announcement yet, They have indicated but not confirmed..maybe in the future.

What is the point of an aircraft, which comes into service a full 10 years after its direct competitor, but still needs 50% more fuel per nautical mile? Even per passenger seat it still burns more than 20% more fuel. Apart from the economics a direct consequence is that A 350 - 1000 accomplishes with a smaller maximum fuel capacity a significant longer range. It is also less expensive. There are more metrics but these are the ones, which count. There is no question which plane is better. Boeing is unlikely to make much profit from the 777x

Why would you not compare the a350 to the 787 dream liner - All though I do prefer the A350 ! Just curious ?!

Totally agree. The A350 is the best aircraft

When comparing two - the word is "better".

Why can't we love both?

The original 777 was just great. I am European, so of cause I lean towards Airbus. What I wonder most is, that the 777X although quite a bit newer does not offer too much advantage on paper over the now "older" A350; or am I missing something?

I thought the a350 had a ultra long range too?

You should better compare the 350-900 with 787 and only the 350-1000 with the 777.

Singapore Airlines had ordered 30 firm orders Boeing 777-9X to replace All of its older Boeing 777-200ER.

350 already flying for few years , the 777x didn't even get certified

One thing nobody has talked about is why the 777-9 is heavier per seat than the A350-1000. Yes, it's because it has an aluminum fuselage -- traditional aluminum too, not even aluminum lithium. But why? It's not like Boeing doesn't know how to do carbon or AlLi structures. Because Boeing wanted an aircraft that is both bigger and CHEAPER to build than the A350. That cheaper part is important because list prices are bullshit and the flexibility to either make great margins or out discount Airbus in a bid often decides who gets the order.

❤️❤️❤️ beautiful video ❤️❤️❤️

Nice

should be asked: which one is better for passengers? A350 by a long shot.

Wow Airbus A380. My dad’s favorite

Wait a minute, did you say the A350’s wings flap while in flight?? A cue from nature?

I prefer the A350 for giving better shoulder Room compare to 777X . Somehow Boeing planes are narrow compare to Airbus. 737 Vs A320 and B787 Vs A350. Hopefully Airbus will come out with a proper 10 abreast air linear. Have a joint venture with Comac as China is a big market.

A350 all the way

The only bad thing about the a350 is that a had so many flights with hard landings because the a350s gear are out of the basement

As a passenger, I like to 8350 better simply because they have a little better technology in the entertainment system like you can watch different parts of the aircraft on cameras, that boeing does not have! My girlfriend is a flight attendant for Qatar Airways and as far as they’re concerned, Boeing is a better aircraft! They say it’s set up better for crewmembers

Cant handle the loud ass flaps on Airbus airplanes. They need to fix that and I'm a fan

Both are awesome, but I prefer 777-x

2:00 can't help but feel Singapore airlines didn't make that video

A350 is a better aircraft. I loved flying in it! A350-900 is out selling the -1000 by a wide margin. Larger capacity without much better efficiency of 777-9 will hinder its sales. More likely to fill a smaller and make money instead of flying a larger plane that is not full.

given that the 787 fuselage was half or so composite carbon made, why did the 777X not do the same thing? again, one suspects Boeing decided to go the easy way out...

Almost seems like Boeing just wants to win a game of top trumps by creating an aircraft with bigger numbers, so they’ve just made a plane that happens to be longer, taller and more capacity, but the important stuff like efficiency isn’t quite there. Almost like when the a380 became a thing, Boeing quickly decided to create a longer 747 that happened to be longer than the a380vand a340, same thing here, airbus makes a new aircraft so Boeing just makes a larger version of one of its current aircraft to compete and win a game of top trumps.

ชอบA350มากกว่าครับ รักAirbus

Obviously, the A350 is better, because it ACTUALLY exist.

Curious how many 787’s have crashed vs how many Airbus planes. Could we correlate those numbers in the future to the 777X

Air India just placed a super massive order of 500 Jets from both Air Bus and Boeing...😨

Either option is just a flying boxcar stuffed with passengers. No appeal to me at all. Smaller jets, or turbo props, are more my style.

The A350- 1000 is a monster that’s way Boeing delayed the Dilivery of the 777x hhhh

777 all the way

Why did LATAM get rid of all its A350 and kept the 787?
