Display architecture
Six large LCD displays organize flight and systems information. Side screens angle inward, supporting cross-cockpit visibility and flexible information presentation.

ARCHITECTURE / SYSTEMS
Technology behind the flight deck.
Touchscreen interaction
Airbus introduced touchscreen displays on certain A350 configurations. This feature complements information interaction; its presence should be checked by configuration rather than assumed on every aircraft.
Airbus — introduction of touchscreen displays ↗Structure and materials
Airbus states that composites account for 53% of the A350’s structure. This structural design is one of the features distinguishing the platform from earlier widebody generations.
Airbus — A350-900 specifications ↗Propulsion and variant differences
The A350-900 uses the Trent XWB-84. The A350-1000 uses the XWB-97, so engine, weight and dimensional data for one variant should not automatically be applied to the other.
