Stuggart is home of Porsche, and probably one of the nicer parts of Germany, IMO.

This plane was made to assist airbus in so many things. First and foremost they use it so that it can help them carry large amount of aircraft parts. For example, in building the A318,319,320,321 they use the Beluga(that is its name) to transport the bodies.

that plane just looks so unstable but i guess that if it is in use that it must be safe

1. It is a cargo plane and does not carry any excessive amount of passengers.
2. It is well designed and is based on the Aribus A310,300 body and design which proved to be very stable, durable, and a good work horse

BMW, I gather this A350 is in response to the 787 Dreamliner which Boeing announced shortly after the A380's maiden flight. Almost a publicity stunt, Boeing claimed that the high passenger volume A380 was flawed in its concept in that it was designed to link major airport hubs and was unsuitable for smaller, unprepared airports.

So Boeing claimed that what passengers and airlines really wanted was a point-to-point direct flight without having to connect through a major hub like Heathrow, Frankfurt, Atlanta and so on, thus the idea behind the 787?

Have I got this right?

So, is this A350 merely a direct response to the 787 threat or will we see a proliferation of smaller airlines concentrating on direct flights from, for example, Jakarta to Portland? I feel this is an about face for Airbus whose policy on 4 engined A340's being essential for long haul is now left in doubt.

Either way, the 787 and A350 have ushered in a new era of ETOPS aircraft. I feel there is a justifiable need for the A380 but there's an even greater need for planes like the 787. As I understand, the 787 is a streamlined development of the 777 which has had such a successful year in 2005 from a sales point of view.

Here's a very interesting quote from Flight International:

Even Virgin Atlantic boss Sir Richard Branson – whose A340-600s proclaim the slogan “4 engines 4 long haul” on their nacelles – conceded recently that the quadjet had a fuel burn penalty over a twinjet. But just one loss of a twinjet mid-ocean due to an engine-related issue – be it an Airbus or a Boeing – could conceivably turn the whole long-haul business on its head and force airlines to re-evaluate four engines.

We used to have wars between countries. Soon we'll see wars between companies and the Boeing vs. Airbus conflict will prove to be one of the most interesting yet.
