The A350XWB is a long-range wide-body aircraft developed by Europe based Aerospace conglomerate Airbus.

The A350 first version was launched in 2004, using A330 fuselage with a newly developed wing and 787 technology engines from General Electric. Following the failure to attract the market to this limited change version. Airbus decided to return to the drawing boards to develop a clean-sheet all-composite wider fuselage, able to compete against both Boeing 787 and the 777 product line.

The Bolder design version 2 was launched in 2006 bearing A350XWB (for Extra Wide Body) designation powered by the latest generation specifically developed Trent XWB engines from Rolls-Royce. This version quickly attracted worldwide leading airline orders. 

The shorter version A350-900 completed its first flight on June 14, 2013, prior to entering service with premium middle east airline Qatar Airways in early 2015, followed in 2018 by the longer A350-1000 model with the same launch customer airline. A Shorter version designed A350-800 was marketed by airbus prior to cancelation as the newly developed A330NEO was able to offer similar capabilities. In 2018 Airbus introduced the A350-900ULR version with increased MTOW and fuel capacity allowing launch customer Singapore Airline to launch 18 hours non-stop flight between New York and Singapore opening a new market of ultra-long-haul flights.
