Seems to me you have to make the nose look funny in order to make a next-gen super-efficient widebody. 787 anyone?

 

-NR

 

well, the nose is mostly aesthetics in both cases. MOSTLY. The other reasoning, is that now, designers have much more complex modelling tools at their disposal, and molds for planes like the 787 and a350 are becoming more and more complex in turn. although it doesn't seem that way, both the 787 and a350 have extremely complex nose cross sections, that need to be carefully designed for maximum efficiency and practicality.

 

Following the general opinion, YES that plane looks amazing! It's interesting, how wide the landing gears are, and the shape of the windshield and "mask" around the panels

I hope they don't have so much problems like the 787. But airbus always has problems with the testing!! I bet it will take years to get the production going ;)

 

I think they have learnt from the A380 and it's definitely not that Airbus has been sleeping during all the 787 problems. They sure have taken those problem risks in mind. Otherwise Airbus would be handling really stupid.

Yeah, thats what i hope. But i still think that the A350 looks not good. Well it has been build under the newest aerodynamical rules.
