The Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 are often compared due to their similarities, with the A350 being slightly larger. One significant difference is that the A350 requires a shorter runway for takeoff when adjusted for maximum takeoff weight. This characteristic is largely attributed to the aircraft's engine thrust, weight, and wing surface area.

The Airbus A350, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB turbofans, entered service in 2015. It is available in two variants: the A350-900 and the stretched A350-1000. The A350-900 also has a special version for Singapore Airlines, extending its range from 8,500 to 9,700 nautical miles.

When comparing takeoff requirements, the A350 stands out for its short takeoff roll compared to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The Trent XWB engines come in two versions: the XWB-84 provides 84,000 lbf of thrust for the A350-900, while the XWB-97 supplies 97,000 lbf for the A350-1000.

Understanding takeoff rolls involves considering both takeoff roll distance and TOFL (takeoff field length). TOFL includes a safety margin to clear obstacles and varies based on conditions such as elevation and temperature.

For standard conditions at maximum takeoff weight (MTOW), the Airbus A350-900 requires about 8,530 feet of runway while the A350-1000 needs around 9,186 feet. In comparison, different variants of Boeing's Dreamliner have varying requirements; for instance, the Boeing 787-10 requires up to 10,300 feet.

Both aircraft utilize composite materials extensively in their wings. The longer wingspan and larger wing area of the Airbus models accommodate their greater MTOWs compared to those of Boeing's Dreamliners.

In conclusion, despite being larger than its counterpart from Boeing, Airbus' flagship widebody aircraft boasts efficient design features allowing it shorter takeoffs—a key advantage in modern aviation efficiency standards.
