Airbus A350 XWB

Similar to the 787, but different to others, the Airbus A350 takes the no. 2 spot on my list. While the 787 is made of 80% carbon composite, the primary material for the wings and fuselage of the A350 XWB is carbon fibre reinforced plastic. Another design feature is gold thread in the body and wings that conducts lightning as a replacement for the generic aluminum build. The Airbus A350 uses the efficient RR Trent XWB-97 engines, and is, similarly to the 787, capable of using biofuel. The Airbus A350 XWB takes my No. 2 spot for it's carbon fibre build, comfort, fuel efficiency and it's amazing stock carbon fibre livery!
