Make sure there is zero plagiarism.: The Boeing 777X (above) could give the Airbus A350 a run for its money once it hits the market.Boeing/AirbusBoeing’s upcoming 777X airliner is set to compete with the Airbus A350 widebody family.The 777-9 has better capacity than the biggest A350 variant, but it has less range and costs more.The upcoming Boeing 777X is the world’s largest twin-engine commercial aircraft in production. Two passenger variants are planned, the 777-9 and the smaller 777-8, as well as a 777F cargo option.The huge plane boasts one-of-a-kind folding wingtips and next-generation engines that help greatly reduce fuel burn, making it a popular option for airlines like British Airways and Emirates looking to replace less efficient widebodies.However, the still uncertified 777X jet is not set to fly commercially until at least 2025, meaning it still has to receive permission from US aviation regulators to fly passengers. Some airlines are instead opting for the in-service widebody plane produced Boeing’s European rival — the Airbus A350.The twinjet is available in the A350-900 and A350-1000 variants and has been flying passengers since 2018 with more than a dozen global carriers, including Delta Air Lines, Qatar Airways, and Singapore Airlines. Similar to Boeing, Airbus is also developing a freighter variant.Boeing hopes the 777X will give the A350 a run for its money thanks to its favorable economics — but that’s assuming Boeing can overcome the production problems that have already delayed deliveries at least five years.Here’s how the two ultra-long-haul next-generation widebodies compare. The 777-9 is the largest of the two widebody families, boasting a length of nearly 252 feet and space for up to 426 passengers in two classes.

The A350-900 is the smallest of the four at just over 219 feet long, according to the planemaker.The 777-8’s smaller cabin can carry up to 395 people, based on a two-class configuration. The A350-900 and A350-1000 planes have capacity for 315 and 369 people in two classes, respectively, according to Airbus. Both A350 variants beat out the 777-9 in terms of range. But of the bunch, the smaller 777-8 can fly the farthest nonstop.

By comparison, the 777-9 can fly for about 8,400 miles nonstop, while the A350-900 can fly for 9,500.The smaller but higher-ranged 777-8 plane is intended to capture longer-haul flights with lower demand. Both companies say they’ve revolutionized the cabin in their unique ways, and customers can expect innovative space and comfort.

Boeing, however, says it has a competitive edge thanks to its larger windows and wider fuselage. The size difference between the 777X and A350 windows.      Taylor Rains/Business Insider The 777X boasts larger windows and a wider cabin than the A350, according to Boeing.For its part, Airbus says its A350 offers the quietest twin-engine cabin, and its Airspace design “delivers a sense of spaciousness with wider seats, high ceilings, and alluring ambient lighting.” Like previous 777 planes, the 777X’s wider fuselage allows it to fit 10 seats across each row in economy.

Airbus has since amended its design to offer the same 10 abreast rows.

General Electric first tested the GE9X engine on a Boeing 747 test jet during a flight over the Mojave Desert in 2018.      Taylor Rains/Business Insider The 777X has a wingspan of 235 feet and five inches with the wingtips deployed — a key part of its advanced efficiency. The full wings are 23 feet longer than older 777 variants, generating more lift and reducing fuel burn 10%.General Electric makes the 777X’s GE9X engines, which, according to GE, are the biggest ever built globally and are 10% more fuel efficient than the GE90 predecessor developed for the classic 777 models. The folding wingtips and the GE9X powerplant are exclusive to the Boeing 777X.

A 777X test pilot told Business Insider at an airshow in July 2022 that the wingtips are safe due to redundancies, alerts, and detailed electronic checklists. The wingtip mechanism was developed for the need for the 777X to fit in the existing airport gates used for previous-generation 777s.

Airbus’s lower-cost A350 uses carbon composite materials, while the 777X is mostly aluminum.

The planemaker settled on a composite airframe to make the A350 lighter, saying on its website that the airframe and the engines together “significantly lower fuel burn, CO2 emissions, and maintenance costs while optimizing range and payload.”The Boeing 777X, comparison, was derived from the classic 777 and has the traditional aluminum fuselage — though with composite wings. The 777X’s carbon fiber wings similarly offer weight savings and also improve strength.

Airlines will get some size and range advantages with the 777X that the A350 variants lack — but at a cost.

According to list prices, the 777-9 is about $442 million, and the 777-8 is about $410 million.The less expensive Airbus planes list at about $366 million for the A350-1000 and about $317 million for an A350-900. Though, airplanes regularly don’t sell at the full list price. The A350 has been in service for years now with relatively few problems, but it has had a few bumps in the road.
