Meet the Airbus A350neo and the new Airbus narrow body - Airbus Future Planes!

What is the future of the Airbus fleet? In the next twenty years, what new aircraft can we expect from Europe's defacto aerospace giant? Today we will go over what we predict will be the new three aircraft we will see from Airbus, what they will be like to fly and how they will impact the world of aviation.
For the last fourty years, Airbus has been a major influence on the aerospace landscape, especially with the commercial line of aircraft. Since entering the market, the company has come up with various models of all capabilities to fill nearly every niche. However, since then the firm has slowed down with aircraft releases and new aircraft announcements have been few and far between.
The most recent new aircraft to come from Airbus is the A321xlr, a long-range narrowbody aircraft that has won orders left and right and will make a point to point travel as breeze like never before - which we will cover in a future video.
But what happens next? What is the new game-changing aircraft we expect from Airbus?
The first new aircraft that will enter the market will be more familiar than you realize, and that will be the Airbus A350neo. That's right, after bringing the neo series to both the A320 and A330, Airbus will next bring its neo concept to the popular A350 program. Naturally, the A380neo was also considered, but as that aircraft series is concluded, it is almost impossible that we will see it.
So what will the A350neo be like? As with the A330neo series, there will be a slight adjustment to the criteria, with the two versions of the A350neo focusing on either capacity or range. we will see an increase in passenger capacity to match the capacity of the Boeing 777X, 20-40 passengers more than the A350-1000, and fill in the void left in the market from the departure of both the 747 and A380, - of around 400 passengers.
You may recall that both Qantas and Singapore operate or plan to operate an A350 for ultra-long-haul routes, such as Sydney to London or Singapore to New York. A new NEO A350 will likely take this market into account and have a range well beyond the current A350-900ULR. This long-range version will have a range of over 10,000 nautical miles and fly for 21 hours or longer.
The second aircraft that is on airbus' future plan is a new narrowbody.
Here is what we predict, the new narrowbody will fill in the A321neo market segment, with an Airbus A220 moving up to a -500 series to help cover the A319 and A320 market. This narrowbody platform could very well be shrunk to fill in existing A320 demand and stretched to upward fill into a proposed A322 space. This space would be the middle of the market of 250 passengers to a range of 5000 nautical miles.
Well, no, Airbus has actually started hiring for two new production lines and we have an excellent idea of what they are - hence the animations that you have already seen.
As for the third aircraft, there are a few different directions Airbus could go. They could enter the turboprop market with a hydrogen or electric aircraft for short-range, 70 seaters 2,000 nautical mile routes, one that is zero emissions to meet the requirements of the increased funding. T
Alternatively, there is that regional middle of the market segment. Cheap widebodies that are designed for shuttle routes.
So what is airbus waiting for?
The first is the ultra-high-bypass jet engines. These engines, like the GE9X on the Boeing 777X have so much power to weight ratio that planes can fly further and on less fuel. Airbus needs these new engines before they enter the market to ensure that their aircraft can remain competitive to rivals Boeing and Embraer. T
Rolls-Royce, Safran, and Pratt & Whitney have all said they’re pursuing such designs. London-based Rolls-Royce has earmarked service entry in 2025 for its Ultrafan model, while France’s Safran is working on a demonstrator that will be ready for ground tests by 2021.
The other task that Airbus is working on is digitizing its production lines, and planning to build another two production lines for the A350neo and the new narrowbody - the latter of which will likely be at the old A380 production line.
A final question would be if these aircraft will actually be built.
For a fact, we know that part of a multi-billion dollar bail out given to Airbus this year includes a commitment to research and develop a new cleansheet aircraft, using a new fuel source, by 2035.
A counterpoint is that Airbus is very confident in its A320neo program and it seems unlikely it would want to throw away all its progress so far with a new narrowbody clean sheet.
When asked about the new aircraft, Airbus replied to Bloomberg that “As a leading aircraft manufacturer, we are looking at many ways to advance our product line,” it said. “There are many studies, but not all see the light of day." But you know what, i have a good feeling for these three.

[@simonm1447]

There was no 380 Neo, Emirates wanted one, but Airbus did not want one. The A 380 airframe however was flawed, it had too little lightweight carbon fiber, the fuselage structure was too heavy (because it was designed for a extended - 900 version), and the wings had a bad aspect ratio because of the 80 m restriction and a design made for 650 t MTOW for a never realized cargo version.

[@hodb3906]

@@simonm1447 aspect ratio means nothing on the a380 since the lift/drag ratio is 19+ which is the same and even higher to aircraft with significant higher aspect ratios. Airbus compromises for lower aspect ratios. Same with the a350-900 vs a350-1000.

It's comforting to see that Airbus doesn't need to rush their next plane designs, as they did the job on time and the market is well covered for now. Boeing on the other hand... they better come up with something soon if they don't want to lag behind for the whole 20's decade.

[@matsv201]

There is a hole in the market between A321 and the A330. Also the A321 will probobly end production fairly soon and be replaced by the 220-500 that will be sligtly smaler, making the gap even bigger. Also because B757 is out of production, boeing also lack a plane in that segment. 797 will replace it of cause ... well partly. Is sort of a anoying segment. Becaue you would really want 7 abreast.. but then you need 2 walkways, making the plane very wide. Making it very long is also uneconomical, but simpler.

[@osasunaitor]

@@matsv201 I don't think the extended A220 will substitute the A321. The 319? Probably. The 320? Maybe. But the 321? It's too big of a stretch (both literally and figuratively). But other than that I agree

[@Tom-js3iz]

[@guhanmadhu5925]

Personally I feel Airbus's next plane will be a replacement for the A320- a plane of the same pax capacity, but more fuel efficient and with a higher range.

[@neilpickup237]

Or several versions, with one offering more very lucrative cargo capacity for the same range. Having more range than you use, is very inefficient, and while it may have little effect on the costs per seat, it can severely affect the profit per flight. If it hadn't been for the ability to carry freight in the hold, I don't even think that we would see anywhere even close to the much reduced flying today.

Depending on where Airbus takes the A220, there may still be a requirement for the A320 because of its standard sized containerised cargo ability.

[@johnpatrick1588]

Left out one possible thing. A one pilot or pilotless aircraft. A test A350 is already able to taxi, take off, fly, and land autonomously using new onboard technology. The pilots just sit and watch. So in the future, the plane might become the pilot in command with a human backup or no pilots. One argument besides economics may be pilot error is the cause of most accidents.

[@riliryrimaddyvia9630]

In the future a new market will probably come up which will need a plane which is a A320 sized plane which will have about the same range as the A350,anyone else think so?

[@neilpickup237]

A321 XXXULR perhaps?

[@lostinaustralia-dave7802]

I agree, the A320 sized aircraft are perfect for the job they were intended for. The only problem IMO it that it depends on the fit out. I have flown Air Asia many times, who use Airbus almost if not exclusively, also predominantly use the A320, but unfortunately their cabin layout is a little crammed and designed for Asian people who are on average seldom taller than 165cm, I am 180cm, so an extra 1 - 2 inches between the me and the seat in front would be appreciated. This cramped space is still do-able, but I wouldn't want to fly longer than 5 - 6 hours, but if it was planned for taller people, it would be a breeze. I do believe any updated Airbus A320 sized aircraft may out range the A350 with the new engine design they discussed in the Vlog. I am just waiting for the next announcement of a new product release date.

[@jebise1126]

well things are coming that way... small aircraft than fly far away so yes that would be logical continuation.

[@CARBONHAWK1]

Yea I’m not bouta go on a 8 hour flight in a narrow body

[@GVTSounds]

Won't happen. Currently an aircraft of a320/a321 size cant fly that distance because its not capable of carrying that amount of fuel in both weight and Volume. The XLR is already pushing the limits of that and they are sacrificing cargo space for fuel tanks and having to beef up the landing gear for it.

[@simonm1447]

I think fuel savings in future will mostly depend on new engines - A 350 or 787 are already very light, they use much carbon fiber and there is not much weight left to save in future. New engines however can also be adopted to existing aircraft models, even the very old 737 achieves an impressive low fuel burn with the new Leap engines , despite its a aircraft with mostly aluminum. The A 330 is also a conventional aluminum build with some carbon fiber parts, so it would not have been able to compete with the 787. Unless there is a new technology (like flying wings, but these are difficult to be realized with a pressurized cabin without weight penalties) a 787 or an A 350 airframe will be competitive relatively long.

[@AA-sg2py]

[@aquaden8344]

H2 technology will reach A380 engine thrust before it reaches the thrust required for twins. There might a future for reengined A380 since the large quads have also a lot of space for liquid H2 storage. Using the A380 as test bed for the open fan technology might be a prelude.

[@G-546]

The a350 has a tall interior so they could do what they did on the a340 with some passenger areas on a small second level. I think a NMA plane could replace the a321 through the a330-800 along with an a350-800. An electric regional jet would be cool too.

[@RealNotOrrio]

This is my theory it could happen but i dont know yet A360: The plane would be able is the size of the a320 but a few adjustments made such as a 2-2 config in economy and a 1-1 config in business creative wider seats and aisle access for business, the plane seats will come with screen when purchasing and will have ranges capable to go from Australia to east coast US and Europe, new rolls Royce engines will make these planes just as efficient if not more than the Dreamliner, the plane would come with bathrooms and changing rooms and electric window dimmers for a better experience. This will be great for budget airlines as these planes are efficient and can make a few interesting long haul tourist routes such as Melbourne Avalon to Dublin in Ireland A370: This plane is basically the a360 but is between the size of the a350 and b777 these planes will have an extended fuselage for wider seats and would generally be used on long haul routes and can connect a lot of cities with high business traffic such as Dubai, Singapore, Tokyo and London together in a point to point map

[@riliryrimaddyvia9630]

Airbus will definitely have a A350neo and a XLR version.

[@FoundAndExplained]

Seems like a total no brainer. The concept is approaching ten years old and with this upgrade it would be super competitive to the 777X. Leaving Boeing yet again playing catch up.

[@neilpickup237]

Given the level of advances, I don't think that it will be too long before Aircraft can reach reach the maximum range required with relative ease. After all once you can fly from anywhere in the world with a long enough runway to anywhere else who needs more range? As to whether passengers want to be stuck in a plane for that length of time no matter how comfortable the experience - that is another matter!

[@theorangecactus2177]

Well, if you think about it, in order to get from anywhere to anywhere in the world you only need to have enough range to fly half way around the world which at the equator is roughly 20,000 km (about 12,400 mi or 10,800 nm). Also the A350 is still quite new so I don’t really think there is any meaningful new technology that has been developed since that could go on an A350 NEO. On top of this the new engines I don’t believe have been developed yet (NEO stands for New Engine Option meaning it will have new and improved, more fuel efficient engines over the CEO Aircraft or Current Engine Option). As for an A350XLR, Airbus has already developed an A350ULR (Ultra Long Range) so the XLR is kind of redundant and pointless, don’t you think?

[@yoofong3256]

I'm not too sure, since there are already many different benefits of buying A350s, especially with the 777x being the (soon to be most expensive) second most expensive aircraft.

[@GVTSounds]

An a350 neo isnt going to happen any time soon and the opposite is a no brainer from both a business and a technological view. Business wise, Its still a new aircraft, and its they still have have to manufacture the majority of a350s they've sold. Releasing a Neo already will piss off all the customers who've already ordered and are waiting for their A350s. The a320 and a330 are over 25 years old and sales were starting to dry up so they needed a refresh, it will be around this long until a neo is released. Why would they waste money developing something that is still selling very well (pandemic aside). on the technology side, You need to look at the a350 as if its a Neo version of the a340 which is what its kinda replaced. Besides that, Its engines are the best engines you can get at the moment as well. GE won't build engines for it at the moment and RR are developing newer ones as always, but nothing close to being substantially better than the trent XWB Yet. Same with the rest of the technology on the plane. I mean they've even had a350s taxi/take off and land totally autonomously, there has been no major advances in technology that would be worth bringing out new plane for yet and wont be for another 10 years.

Then, the new blueprint narrowbody will deal the A320neo and A321neo. Hopefully the new blueprint will have much wider and spacious width for narrowbody standard. At the same time, it would be nice if there's a widebody with the size of A300/A310. Notably, its size are much smaller compared to today's twinjet narrowbody. Maybe the A330neo (or another new blueprint) with the size of A300/A310 with newer, yet smaller wings (than A330neo) will do.

Airbus as a saviour for people who fear to fly in any new Boeing aircraft. Quality of a production facility and quality control process is amazing no one can't come close to that quality and safety specially Boeing couldn't even come near to that quality. I love to see that very bright future. And i like to see the end of Boeing if they continue like this careless about people's lives.

Wide body short range airbus? that is the spiritual successor of 747-400D

[@phlip_06]

A360 is going to be sooooo cool

[@Plntlvr1983]

Airbus made a small wide-body aircraft in the 1980’s, the A310. Neither model, the -200 and -300 sold particularly well compared to the A300, which the A310 was based off of. And I think Airbus is still hesitant to develop such an aircraft after what happened with the A310. Hopefully they do create a new aircraft or variant of an existing aircraft because the demand for that type of aircraft will most definitely see growth in the future.

Airbus will have to come up with something to compete with the 777-9 or 10 and the Boeing 797 - its likely their next big plane will replace the A380 with a 777x rival manufactured with the latest materials. And yes, they could make a Q-400 rival. I believe they will wait for the big 3 engine makers to make a geared turbofan engine for their widebodies. I totally agree that someday an A220 stretch is going to replace the A320. Not sure if hydrogen will ever beat jet fuel on energy density. But renewable fuels like alcohol or other bio fuels may find their way into the next gen aircraft.

[@neilpickup237]

Are RR begining to regret concentrating on the larger wide bodied aircraft rather than the 150-250 seat market?

[@guitarplayerforu]

I personally can't see widebodies going anywhere anytime soon, especially crazy efficient ones like the 787 Dream)liner and A350 XWB 👍 Narrowbodies are perfect for short and medium haul but they simply wasn't designed for long haul, I think to make a narrowbody aircraft capable of long haul would mean aircraft manufacturers having to make too many sacrifices 👌 I have a feeling that RR will power a narrowbody aircraft again in the future sometime, but widebody aircraft will remain their primary concentration I think 👍

[@aquaden8344]

There will be a single isle long range plane from Airbus. They a nice product line up with the A220 type to cover regional needs, but there is a need for a successor for the A321 line.

[@neilpickup237]

@@aquaden8344 I am not sure that is the case. Should the A220 be stretched to a dash 500 and even dash 700, I would fully expect some of that space to be used to carry extra fuel to extend the range, possibly significantly, as this could make far more point to point routes economically viable. This could be an excellent option as the passenger cabin is in some ways superior to that offered by the A320, and significantly so when compared to the 737. Differences which become all the more evident the longer the journey time!

[@aquaden8344]

Too much floor space wasted for isles.

[@aquaden8344]

A350neo with R&R Ultrafan engine is a given. We will see it as soon as R&R is ready. A modern composite successor for the A321 with a capacity of 220 - 270 passengers and range >5000 NM is also not so fare out, since the pressure of airlines like AirFrance and others is getting higher for a stretched A220-500. Aside of things, that are obvious, Airbus is working on liquid H2 technologies with several partners world wide. It's save to say at some time we will see an H2 fueled airplane with Zero CO2 emission. Another concept is the lifting body plane. The next large plane from Airbus might be based on this concept. It provides lift and space for H2 technology as well as a lot of space for passengers and freight and fits into the same ICAO class like the A350 without the need of folding wings.

Aviation market is growing towards narrow bodies and the most logical new type is A322. The next one is A220-500. Of course there is the hydrogen power narrow body aircraft, but it will take at least 15 years to develop. I don't give a chance for A350Neo. That was actually offered by GE, but Airbus did not find it feasible. A330 Regional (High capacity, short range A330 Neo) depends on how fast aviation market recovers from Covid-19 crisis, so it seems unlikely for now.

[@tydjayowen6122]

[@hakanevin8545]

@@aquaden8344 Ultrafan will be a game changer. If RR can deliver 25% better efficiency with Ultrafan as they advertised, it will not stay there just with A350; Boeing and Airbus will want and need to create new variants for all of their production types with Ultrafan. For example A320 Ultra, A330 Ultra, 777 Ultra. Then it will be A350 Ultra, a new generation based on a newer engine technology than Neo (NEO: New Engine Option will be old then).

[@richarddyasonihc]

Hopefully you are right. I prefer Airbus to Boeing with regard to passenger comfort. The 737 body for example is still using (almost) the same design developed in the 1950s for the 707. All they seem to do is try to keep up with new technology and bolt on larger engine pods - the latter being thought to have resulted in the recent 737 max disasters.

Regional air mobility will happen beyond Africa. With the US population fleeing big cities for smaller ones, you can bet that regional air mobility will happen before urban air mobility. Airbus has a good portfolio and introducing the neo versions of what they already have is brilliant. Every aircraft maker does that but they normally rename the aircraft. Airbus chose to just add "neo". It's a smart marketing move.
