NEW PLANE? - The Airbus A350-2000...

Could an A350-2000 be the next Airbus aircraft to be released, or is it simply a pipe dream that is no longer likely to occur?

A350Neo-6600 (Neo of -900 66m), A350Neo-7300 (Neo of -1000 73m), A350Neo-8000 (Neo stretched to 80m), A350FNeo-7000 (Neo of freighter)

I really don't think there needs to be a new A350, the dash 900XWB, the dash 1000 and 1000F is good enough for the market

[DDA]

None of the mentioned aircraft can replace the A380

[NAP]

Airbus is doing fine with the still active A380’s, at least until 2035/40, and are having a big success with what they already have with the A350/1000+ULR+F. The B777X has not have any great sales success, and doubt that they ever will. The A350/1000 is a proven aircraft with sufficient capacity to fulfill the majority of Airline performance targets, and is one of the public’s favorites.

[hubertgans]

Airbus doesn't need an A352 for the next years. They can wait for when 777X does appear in real, whenever that will be:2027?

[rubikfan]

I think a 350-1000ulr is more likely. But maby in the future when a380 run is done. There might be more need for bigger planes.

Let’s have a new flying pencil. A350 -2000 please. Biggest bonus would be ITS NOT A BOEING!

[billehr]

The A350-2000 proposal was old news a long time ago and remains so today

[masbeetleboy]

What DJ is describing, with a modest stretch and modest upgraded engines, would be closer to an A350-1500. An impressive airplane to be sure, but modest. A true A350-2000 would have newer, more powerful engines, a healthy stretch, and maybe a modified wing.

[mcmuffin-zv]

This would never happen because
1. Airbus would have to make a completely new engine
2. They would have to somehow finesse physics and push carbon fiber construction to the max
3. They would have to build a whole new line of factories which cause a lot of further issues in the future
4. They don’t want to kill Boeing, having little to no competition is not what airbus wants to thrive under, because at this point airbus can’t even pump out the ridiculous amount of orders
5. This whole new program would obviously cost a crap ton of money

[stradivarioushardhiantz]

Cabin length;
A350-1000; 51m (A350-900) +7m = 58m
A350-2000; 58m +7m = 65m

Wrong simulation of the wingtips on two sides of the A350F at 2:51? I could see the left wingtip become like a sharklet but the right one did not change from A350 type.

[mredgt]

That first landing was the first ever soft landing of a Qatar a350 i have ever seen. On top of that it was gloriously buttery

A350-2000: The first plane developed by YT.

[edwardwilcox]

IMHO the B777-300ER was & is the sweetspot for size in the large plane category. The natural replacement for that aircraft is the already established A350-1000 & to back this up we see so many airlines ordering it to replace -300ER`s. The B777X is larger, heavier & more expensive therefore more niche in it`s appeal but attractive to some airlines serving the luxury end of the market. I don`t think there`s a business case for AB to bother with a stretch, B777X will have that smaller market to itself although further down the line when the new range of more economical engines appear it could well be reviewed.

[gretareinarsson]

For most airlines the A350-1000 is by far big enough. I would argue that a NEO version should be prioritized. However It would be a good plan for Airbus to prepare a 2000 version to minimize the time of production if the market calls for it.

[WeeGraeme]

What if they just added a partial upper deck and moved the flight deck up there, as well as some additional seats behind?

[deneb]

I can't imagine a bigger A350 without a different wing and that wuold be another financial challenge

[MyJerseybean]

It does appear that the possibility of a larger Airbus A.350 is in the long grass today, but I feel there is one man who could change all that ! It is Sir Tim Clarke the C.O.E. of EMERATES, he is the largest operator of the Airbus A.380 and as we know wanted Airbus to build a N.E.O . that they would not do so he placed a Order for 50 Airbus A, 350, s but he hs got a very large Order for the Boeing 777 9 of which he should have had most of them delivered but has not received one Aircraft to date ? So if he got fed up with waiting and offered a very large Order for a 450 plus seat Airbus A.350 possibly with the new Rolls Royce ' Ultrafan ' Engines ? Would Airbus turn him away ? I don't think so, so watch this space as I feel this could all happen within the next Year or so !

airlines will need to replace their 777-300ers eventually, but do they really want a larger aircraft. The A350-1000 is lighter, more efficient, has a greater range, and has a similar capacity. It's a great replacement for the 777-300er. Bigger isn't always better as seen with the A380.
There's a 9ft difference between the A350-1000 and the 777-9. Most airlines won't even configure these aircraft to their max capacity (AAs 777-300ers only hold about 304pax).
There's not really a need to stretch the A350-1000. What would be the reason the reason for stretching the 1000? Just to say they have an aircraft bigger than the 777-9?
The sweet spot for airlines are the 787-9 and the A350-900.
