Airbus A350XWB: On board the world's newest passenger jet
Takeoff on one of Airbus' new A350WXB test planes is a strangely quiet experience. Powered by two hulking Rolls Royce Trent XWB engines, you'd expect to hear more than just a low whirring noise when tearing down the runway. (www.cnn.com) Daha Fazlası...

The Cathay Pacific pilot makes a comment about it being a thing of beauty. Nobody, including Boeing themselves, has brought out anything yet that has even got close to the looks of the 757. That is one hi-steppin' lady and has the performance to go with it.
I agree with Preacher about the 757. It is my favorite. I think Boeing should reconsider the demise of the 757. It has power aplenty and is a nice looking crate. Maybe the bean counters will rethink their decision if Boeing will re-engine the 757 and cut its operating cost.
Even if they did it, it would be some engineer's glorious idea. You don't think they would listen to pilots and the flying public, do you?
Not to mention that up until about 2010, it had heavy after the call sign, even though nowhere near the weight. Now, it's relegated to large.
just trying to cut in to the 777 fame ,
