Airbus A350 models undergo constant improvements. New winglets expand the A350's wingspan without increasing the geometric wingspan. Early operators of A350s likely feature airframes with the ...

Airbus followed Boeing's decision several years later, making some wonder if the European aircraft manufacturer copied its ...

In 2013, with the A350, Airbus further refined its winglet design, which was no longer a separate appendage but rather a “smooth three-dimensional twisting of the basic wing shape.” ...

Airbus has started fitting the sweeping winglets to the first flying prototype of its A350 twinjet, ahead of its maiden flight later this year. The winglets will give this variant of the A350 a ...

Airbus has designed large, fully curved winglets for the A350 and A320neo and “sharklets” for the large planar winglets with curved wingtip-to-winglet junctions for the A320 and A321.

The A350-1000 is constructed using 53% composite ... a state-of-the-art wing design with a high aspect ratio and adaptive winglets. These optimize lift-to-drag ratio and improve fuel efficiency ...
