It seems to be a now weekly tradition on this blog to reveal more and more detail about the final exterior design of the A350 XWB. This week brings us an even clearer shot of the aircraft’s new wings, fuselage and winglets. These pictures come from a competing aviation magazine’s advertisements. They shed quite a bit of light about the new widebody’s design. From below, the nose even looks to have a 7E7 feel to it. Also worth noticing, the Rolls-Royce Trent XWBs don’t feature chevron notches at the back of the nacelles for noise reduction.
I apologize for the quality of the images, my camera was elsewhere.
Two more close up shots after the jump.
