The Airbus A350 competes directly against Boeing’s 777 and the 787 Dreamliner, but offers creature comforts such as a higher cabin pressure.
The Airbus A350 is one of the most modern airliners in today’s skies. The wide-bodied A350 is a technologically advanced, long-haul airliner that directly competes with Boeing offerings like the 777 and the 787 Dreamliner. Indeed, it was Boeing’s development of the Dreamliner that prompted Airbus to develop the A350. Initially, Airbus proposed that the plane would be a re-engined and re-winged version of its A330 airliner. However, a lack of market backing in the project saw Airbus taking the plunge and developing the A350 from scratch. This gave the company a blank canvas on which to let its engineers run loose. The result was a highly advanced aircraft that considerably improved passenger and crew comfort. Importantly, it also gave airliners an aircraft that was highly efficient, delivering 25% fuel savings when compared to older aircraft like the Boeing 777 range.
Ultimately, it was the decision to design the plane from scratch that enabled the advancements that place the Airbus A350 as one of the best airliners for long flights. This approach sidestepped the compromises that often have to be made when upgrading an existing model — Boeing’s troubled 737 Max program is an extreme example of how badly this can go wrong. As a result, Airbus created an aircraft from scratch that not only delivered increased passenger comfort but also delivered significant advantages for the crew and airlines. Let’s take a closer look at these advantages and the engineering that achieved them. Airbus A350 – Long-haul flight advantages for passengers
All the innovations incorporated into a plane’s design will count for practically nothing if passengers are left bleary-eyed, sore, and bedraggled after a long flight. However, the Airbus A350 can’t be accused of this. The aircraft has been engineered to ensure that passengers remain as comfortable as possible throughout the entire flight. There are several metrics to consider that show how passenger comfort has been integrated into the design. First, let’s look at the cabin pressure. The Airbus A350 fuselage is built from 70% advanced lightweight materials, including carbon fiber. This allows the pressure within the cabin to be kept at a 6,000 ft equivalent (most airliners have a pressure equal to that at 8,000 ft), which, when paired with the aircraft’s improved humidity levels, can lead to less passenger fatigue.
The use of advanced materials also allowed Airbus to design a non-circular fuselage, which means more headroom and a wider cabin for greater passenger comfort. Lighting is also important for comfort, and the A350 uses LED mood lighting to this end. Additionally, the cabin is also remarkably quiet. The Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines that power the plane are designed to reduce noise pollution. The fuselage also features advanced acoustic insulation to further improve cabin noise levels. Other innovations improving passenger comfort include electro-dimmable windows and an in-flight entertainment system. Finally, the Airbus A350 is also one of the fastest airliners flying today. The latter is important, as no matter how comfortable a cabin is, passengers still want to arrive as quickly as possible. Airbus A350 – Crew and airline benefits
For airlines, the bottom line is obviously a major factor. The 25% lower operating costs of the Airbus A350 — when compared to some other wide-bodied jets — is therefore a big carrot. These savings can be attributed to the advanced materials that allowed the weight of the aircraft to be minimized. Also, one of the most expensive jet engines ever — the Rolls-Royce Trent XWB — is among the most efficient in its class. Another factor that airlines love is the range of the jet. As an example, the Airbus A350-900ULR flown by Singapore Airlines has the longest range of any commercial jet at 9,700 nautical miles (11,163 miles).
The flight crew also benefits from the plane’s engineering. The cockpit has been designed with the comfort of the flight crew in mind. Comfortable seats, an intuitive cockpit layout, and an advanced head-up display system, all help to keep the flight crew comfortable during long flights. The advanced avionics are also designed to reduce flight crew workload while maintaining situational awareness. Additionally, improved safety systems and commonality of systems across the Airbus range are also appreciated by pilots.
Finally, we can look at this from a cabin crew perspective. They also benefit from the reduced cabin pressure and the quieter working atmosphere. But the plane also features larger work areas, galleys, and crew rest areas. In short, for long-haul flights, the Airbus A350 is a plane that is comfortable for passengers and crew, and convenient and economical for airlines.

Your shopping experience should be enhanced. Today Google has announced two updates to Gmail, both related to shopping. First, there’s a new Purchases view.
Today Google has announced two updates to Gmail, both related to shopping. First, there’s a new Purchases view that will bring “all of your purchase and delivery updates together in one place”, the company says.
So you’ll have “a bird’s eye view of all your upcoming package deliveries” in one simple list. Packages that are set to arrive within 24 hours will still be shown at the top of your primary inbox, and the summary card will continue to also exist within your purchase emails. Purchases is an entirely new view that simply lets you see all purchase-related and shipping-related emails in one interface.
This will start rolling out today on mobile and web to users across the world with personal Gmail accounts. It’s unclear how long the rollout will take.
The Promotions tab is getting an update, allowing you to sort by “most relevant” promotional emails. This sort order will better surface “updates from senders and brands that matter most to you”, prioritizing the ones you engage with the most. There will also be helpful “nudges”, highlighting upcoming deals and timely offers you might not want to miss out on.
If you prefer the Promotions tab the way it is right now, then choosing to sort by “most recent” will get you there instead. The Promotions tab update will start rolling out “in the coming weeks” on mobile to users with personal Gmail accounts.

Microsoft and OpenAI have issued a joint statement to say that they have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding for the “next phase” of their partnership.
Microsoft and OpenAI have issued a joint statement to say that they have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding for the “next phase” of their partnership. The companies are still finalizing the terms of agreement and haven’t shared the details of what their future would look like exactly. But according to The New York Times, the deal includes hows the parties share technology and and the revenue from those technologies. The new agreement also reportedly modifies the clause in the original, which states that Microsoft cannot access OpenAI’s most powerful technology if its board decides that it has reached human-like artificial general intelligence or AGI.
In addition to the new deal, The Times says OpenAI is giving an equity stake worth at least $100 billion to its nonprofit arm that will continue to oversee and control the organization. As the publication notes, a change in the company’s agreement paves the way for OpenAI to transition into a public benefit corporation, a type of corporation that’s meant to make a positive impact on society, and for an eventual IPO. OpenAI had to reach an acceptable agreement with Microsoft first, including how much equity it’s getting in the AI firm’s for-profit arm. Microsoft had invested over $13 billion into OpenAI and is entitled to 49 percent of its future profits.
Reports about OpenAI moving away from its complicated non-profit structure started coming out last year. After Christmas in 2024, it officially announced its plan to transform itself into a public benefit corporation with ordinary shares of stock. “It will enable us to raise the necessary capital with conventional terms like others in this space”, it said at the time. In May, however, OpenAI announced that it was no longer going to remove the control of its for-profit arm from its non-profit board. “OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit, and is today overseen and controlled by that nonprofit. Going forward, it will continue to be overseen and controlled by that nonprofit”, it said.
