The 787 doesn't compete directly with a350 because it's a bit smaller and the a350 -1000 competes more with the 777X-8. The -9 is longer and a bit larger , suited for previous 777 300 and 747 operators

That's not true. These planes are incredibly similar..the 777 has a 30 year impeccable history with thousands of trained techs all over the world.that's the major advantage with Boeing
@@iLoveBoysandBerries But 777X is still significantly bigger with no real advantage on seat cost. Some airlines like JAL and Cathay has started replacing 777 1-to-1 with similar sized 350, or downsizing 77W to 359 instead. Seems like only those who can fill an A380 are taking 777X, and even if they do, often they don't order as many as they did for 77W.
That's because it's not a composite heavy aircraft like the A350 or Dreamliner. It's built using more metal. However it's lighter than the current 777, has composite wings and a much more modern engine. All adds up to 15% better fuel efficiency, and no competition in its class.
@@sainnt I don't know much beyond the specs, but I just know that the 777-9 has similar seating capacity and range as the a350-900. How else do they differ?
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
Totally wrong. The 777x capacity 426 and a range of 7285miles. A350-1000 capacity (max) 480 and range 8700 miles plus the A350-1000 is approx 100million less!
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.
The A350 is not well suited to carry cargo, and that part was missing in this video. Airlines are going to want the 777 because it's going to carry more passengers and cargo, and do it significantly cheaper than the A380. The 777-9 is not built to compete with the A350-1000. It's basically going to be in a class all by itself.
@@sainnt FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!!! I've been saying this since 2013. The A350-1000 competes with the 77W. The 777-9X are class by in itself. The last 10yrs years the fanboys have been comparing the 777X with A35K which never made sense. The 777X was designed to be the true sucessor to the 747-400 and at a stretch the A380.
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.
This is why this video makes no sense. Until the 777X dont start flying, it cant be compared to the A350. Im belive, the 777 X will be better. Boeing need a win after the MAX
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 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.
Both are great planes, although i wish Boeing did better and pay more attention to 777X development. SQ probably will do 3-3-3 on 777-9, but I am not that optimistic after they put the 3-3-3 on the 787
They will definitely not go 3-3-3 on the 777X because due to a wider cabin the Economy seats on the 777X with 3-4-3 will be just as wide as on the A350 with 3-3-3.
Well, you seem to forget that the A350-1000 is a smaller airplane than the 777-9 so overall trip cost is lower obviously. However on a per-seat-basis the 777-9 wins*. In the end it's down to the airline and what the airline needs and which airplane works better for them. *=Based on the 9-abreast A35K. With the new super cramped 10-abreast Economy the A35K may become better. But which airline will be ready to put their reputation on risk by doing this?
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
I agree, I wonder why they couldn't make an even larger version of the 787 to replace all the 777s while the 787-10 already replaces the smaller 777s. But hands down, Airbus would be my pick.
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.

I guess the A220-700., then after that probobly a new clean sheet. The point is. They are always develop8ng somethung.
The A350-900 is a whole different category than the 777X. Even the A350-1000 is smaller than the 777-9. Compare orders for the A350-1000 and 777-9 and you will be surprised ...
Well if Boeing doesn’t give emirates their fair share, numbers will drop to 300 orders. Meanwhile airbus is constantly working to fulfill hundreds of orders that are not likely to be dropped.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
With the world essentially coming to a screeching halt with Covid in the middle of it. A Ford Model A took a lot less time to build than a modern car too, wanna daily drive one?
OK since Airbus does seem to be more fuel efficient the thing I think would make a difference is pick a destination like LA to Tokyo with both planes full add the average cost on the flight times the seat capacity. Then calculate the fuel burn for the flight. Minus that figure from the revenue then minus the crew salary and see which one comes on top. Now I know there are more factors involved like meals etc... can anyone come up with the two figures and let me know. I'm just too lazy to do the math.
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.

@@chrismckellar9350 the 777X has a wider interior and larger windows. Is better looking and it's predecessor has been voted best wide body for long haul..Having a newer airframe doesn't make the 350 better lol. And technically most 777x airframes will be younger than most 350 anyways
I didn’t know the test pilots flight in that protective gear! Hopefully they can eject is something wrong happens! Only time will tell which is better!
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
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.
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?
For airlines it is all about running costs and fuel economy per seat mile is a major part of that. The B777X is a superb aircraft but suffers in two regards. Despite all the marketing hype about the B777X it is difficult to see the aircraft as anything other than ‘mutton dressed as lamb’. The A350 is a modern design using light weight composite materials and has now established itself as reliable and efficient. The lack of significant order numbers for the B777X indicates that airlines are not convinced.
And yet, even with the A350 already proven and ready to go, there are over 300 orders for the 777-x Every new aircraft has to prove itself, even if it's a newer version of an older aircraft. Airlines may like the new and shiny modern technology of new aircraft, but they also like the reputation and reliability of proven aircraft, which is why the Airbus is selling so many Neo aircraft, and Boeing is still moving so many Max aircraft despite all the issues.
@@sainnt No US-airline has ordered the B 777X, and none will do it, it is the same as for the b 747-8I, and the b 777X will be the same economical failure for Boeing.
@@he8570 It's not going to fail just because US airlines have not ordered it. Only Delta Airlines has ordered the A350, and it's not a failure. The 747-8i is not a failure because Boeing actually made a profit, compared to the A380 where Airbus didn't. And they sold plenty of cargo variants. And, US Airlines are not like Middle East and Asia operators who operate gateway hub operations. US airlines are mostly point to point, getting passengers to their international airport hubs by using regional jets, so they don't need that kind of capacity. They also don't operate first class anymore. That explains why they've ordered way more 787 than any widebody Airbus has to offer. The 777-X will be just fine. Once airlines start operating them, other airlines will join. Plus, it's going to enjoy additional success as a cargo variant. The program will be just fine.
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.
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.
uhhh no? The plane is designed to fit a certain market , the 747 was first built in 1969 wayyy before the a380 (original 747 designed for cargo and for pan am also) , the original 747 100 could carry 480 passengers in a one class config and had a wingspan of 60m and a length of about 71m , the 747-8 can carry 605 in one class with a length of about 76m and wingspan of 68m , it was made to be better in every way compared to the previous 747 family , not to the a380. The 777X in other ways is a twin engines worthy successor to the queen of the skies. Boeing will always be superior in wb deliveries , as it offers conversions for almost every aircraft (except the 787) . Boeing will always be better at making aircraft that are versatile and flexible, while airbus will favor passenger comfortability as its the only thing its known for. And anyways an actual avgeek likes every plane sooooooo
An A350-1100 or whatever it is called would marginalise the 777x, simply the A350 is far, far lighter. What is needed is an engine to make this possible. In 5 years the RR innovations should make it worthwhile to introduce a neo across the range but in particular a larger stretched version. Not sure whether the wing on the A350 can be extended with the patented downward folding wingtips, if it is economically feasible then an aspect ratio of 10+ should be within the grasp of Airbus. Those two improvements would drag the A350 into an unassailable position from an efficiency perspective. It would be nigh on impossible for the B777x in its current to compete, its heavy fuselage handicaps it too much.
The 777x will certainly be better with its wider cabin, Qatar airways will be able to configure their planes better and have more comfortable seats! The two planes are superb but I must say that I prefer the 777x which will undoubtedly be better for the passengers and the pilots but as far as airlines are concerned, the A350 meets more needs and is a little more economical!
Airbus is the winner especially when it comes to safety. Boeing used to make great planes but they have made too many mistakes in the recent past, it’s unacceptable.
Why that? The economy seats in the 777X will be just as wide as in the A350. Business and first seats most probably even wider. Windows are much bigger, cabin altitude is the same. Noise in cabin should be even less (don't know about this one for sure).
Hey dude i hate to burst your bubble here but Airbus is not your friend. Airbus is a corporation, and their goal is ultimately profit. Airbus sees you as a dollar sign, just like every other corporation in the world
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.
As much as I love the 777X, I have to admit the A350 is an absolute marvel of engineering

@@blackhole4106 The 777-9 is in a class all by itself. The A350 cannot match it. The A350 competes with the current 777.
@@sainnt I don't know much beyond the specs, but I just know that the 777-9 has similar seating capacity and range as the a350-900. How else do they differ?
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
Totally wrong. The 777x capacity 426 and a range of 7285miles. A350-1000 capacity (max) 480 and range 8700 miles plus the A350-1000 is approx 100million less!
@johnchristmas7522 You said "totally wrong" and then 100% agreed with them.
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.
And then Boeing can replace the 747/777 families with one brand new aircraft family and take the "A350NEO" head on.

The A350 is not well suited to carry cargo, and that part was missing in this video. Airlines are going to want the 777 because it's going to carry more passengers and cargo, and do it significantly cheaper than the A380. The 777-9 is not built to compete with the A350-1000. It's basically going to be in a class all by itself.
@@sainnt FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!!! I've been saying this since 2013. The A350-1000 competes with the 77W. The 777-9X are class by in itself. The last 10yrs years the fanboys have been comparing the 777X with A35K which never made sense. The 777X was designed to be the true sucessor to the 747-400 and at a stretch the A380.
As a European it would be helpful if you add metric scales as well…
As an American i am dissapointed that the unit 'football fields'was never used.
Yes, definitely agree with you! These conversions...
I'm literally looking at the specs screen right now with both units included.
@@uap24they are useless buddy. Useless.
Football vs soccer. I mean improper use of English.
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.
The A350 as its actually flying...
#airbusforever
This is why this video makes no sense. Until the 777X dont start flying, it cant be compared to the A350. Im belive, the 777 X will be better. Boeing need a win after the MAX
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.
This is why A350 is superior
Too early to draw conclusions about fuel efficiency since 777x hasn't even entered service yet.
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.
Both are great planes, although i wish Boeing did better and pay more attention to 777X development. SQ probably will do 3-3-3 on 777-9, but I am not that optimistic after they put the 3-3-3 on the 787
777 is wider
They will definitely not go 3-3-3 on the 777X because due to a wider cabin the Economy seats on the 777X with 3-4-3 will be just as wide as on the A350 with 3-3-3.
A350-1000 certainly beat 777-9 efficiency in many way.....but Airlines decisions are very complex tasks....so many factors involved 🛫🤓
Well, you seem to forget that the A350-1000 is a smaller airplane than the 777-9 so overall trip cost is lower obviously. However on a per-seat-basis the 777-9 wins*. In the end it's down to the airline and what the airline needs and which airplane works better for them.
*=Based on the 9-abreast A35K. With the new super cramped 10-abreast Economy the A35K may become better. But which airline will be ready to put their reputation on risk by doing this?
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
I agree, I wonder why they couldn't make an even larger version of the 787 to replace all the 777s while the 787-10 already replaces the smaller 777s. But hands down, Airbus would be my pick.
The biggest difference: The A350 is on the market.
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.
B787 is the best 👍
I'd be cool to see an updated version of this comparison once the 777x actually starts being in service!

Well if Boeing doesn’t give emirates their fair share, numbers will drop to 300 orders. Meanwhile airbus is constantly working to fulfill hundreds of orders that are not likely to be dropped.
A350-1000 😎👌
#airbusforever
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.
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.
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.
The max takeoff weight of a 777x is about 36 tons more than that of the a350-1000
It would be helpful if you add S.I units like kgs and kms.

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.
nah they were planning on making a new metal alloy, but composites are too risky. look at the 787 production delays becaouse of the composite.
@@Sanyu-Tumusiimebut isn't it getting better due to the R&D done by some companies according to Coby explains video.
The 777X has a completely new composite wing, the fuselage is of Aluminum-Lithium Alloy, which is significantly lighter than standard aluminum.
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.
Not too big for middle eastern airlines and EX 747/a380 operators. I think the 777X will become more popular with orders after deliveries start
777 all the way and has been proven to be an amaxzing aircraft
The A350 is better overall, but the 777x will obviously be better on high demand routes, like Dubai to Heathrow

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.
Whos watching this in 2024
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
With the world essentially coming to a screeching halt with Covid in the middle of it. A Ford Model A took a lot less time to build than a modern car too, wanna daily drive one?

B777X wilt best plane out there.
On wide- body A/C Boeing is clearly ahead
The one in service takes the win.
OK since Airbus does seem to be more fuel efficient the thing I think would make a difference is pick a destination like LA to Tokyo with both planes full add the average cost on the flight times the seat capacity. Then calculate the fuel burn for the flight. Minus that figure from the revenue then minus the crew salary and see which one comes on top. Now I know there are more factors involved like meals etc... can anyone come up with the two figures and let me know. I'm just too lazy to do the math.
I would look for comfort while I fly. 777x beats A350 in this regard
A350-1000. Top choice for Project Sunrise.
Luv the wing design of 777x
777 is a little bit better, for airlines weight and capacity matters, also 777-F is more desirable given the TOW.
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.

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
"The 777-X is proceeding nicely through its development.." Hahahah
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.
They have another 3 years to make a new one 😃
The winner is obviously the plane that is already flying.
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?
For airlines it is all about running costs and fuel economy per seat mile is a major part of that. The B777X is a superb aircraft but suffers in two regards. Despite all the marketing hype about the B777X it is difficult to see the aircraft as anything other than ‘mutton dressed as lamb’. The A350 is a modern design using light weight composite materials and has now established itself as reliable and efficient. The lack of significant order numbers for the B777X indicates that airlines are not convinced.
And yet, even with the A350 already proven and ready to go, there are over 300 orders for the 777-x Every new aircraft has to prove itself, even if it's a newer version of an older aircraft. Airlines may like the new and shiny modern technology of new aircraft, but they also like the reputation and reliability of proven aircraft, which is why the Airbus is selling so many Neo aircraft, and Boeing is still moving so many Max aircraft despite all the issues.
@@sainnt No US-airline has ordered the B 777X, and none will do it, it is the same as for the b 747-8I, and the b 777X will be the same economical failure for Boeing.
@@he8570 It's not going to fail just because US airlines have not ordered it. Only Delta Airlines has ordered the A350, and it's not a failure.
The 747-8i is not a failure because Boeing actually made a profit, compared to the A380 where Airbus didn't. And they sold plenty of cargo variants.
And, US Airlines are not like Middle East and Asia operators who operate gateway hub operations. US airlines are mostly point to point, getting passengers to their international airport hubs by using regional jets, so they don't need that kind of capacity. They also don't operate first class anymore. That explains why they've ordered way more 787 than any widebody Airbus has to offer. The 777-X will be just fine. Once airlines start operating them, other airlines will join. Plus, it's going to enjoy additional success as a cargo variant. The program will be just fine.
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.
B777
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.
uhhh no? The plane is designed to fit a certain market , the 747 was first built in 1969 wayyy before the a380 (original 747 designed for cargo and for pan am also) , the original 747 100 could carry 480 passengers in a one class config and had a wingspan of 60m and a length of about 71m , the 747-8 can carry 605 in one class with a length of about 76m and wingspan of 68m , it was made to be better in every way compared to the previous 747 family , not to the a380. The 777X in other ways is a twin engines worthy successor to the queen of the skies. Boeing will always be superior in wb deliveries , as it offers conversions for almost every aircraft (except the 787) . Boeing will always be better at making aircraft that are versatile and flexible, while airbus will favor passenger comfortability as its the only thing its known for. And anyways an actual avgeek likes every plane sooooooo
Obviously, the A350 is better, because it ACTUALLY exist.

what is the website at 3:02?
An A350-1100 or whatever it is called would marginalise the 777x, simply the A350 is far, far lighter. What is needed is an engine to make this possible. In 5 years the RR innovations should make it worthwhile to introduce a neo across the range but in particular a larger stretched version. Not sure whether the wing on the A350 can be extended with the patented downward folding wingtips, if it is economically feasible then an aspect ratio of 10+ should be within the grasp of Airbus. Those two improvements would drag the A350 into an unassailable position from an efficiency perspective. It would be nigh on impossible for the B777x in its current to compete, its heavy fuselage handicaps it too much.
