Airbus A350 - Wikipedia
The A350 features a new composite fuselage with a constant width from door 1 to door 4, unlike previous Airbus aircraft, to provide maximum usable volume. [139] The double-lobe fuselage cross-section has a maximum outer diameter of 5.97 m (19.6 ft), compared to 5.64 m (18.5 ft) for the A330/A340. [140]

How Composite Materials Make The Airbus A350 A Gamechanger
Aug 19, 2024 · Most of the A350’s wings are made up of such high-strength composites. The A350 wings are among the largest single structures made from carbon fiber composites. Similarly, the fuselage, including the wingbox which connects the wings to the fuselage, is made of carbon-based composites.
Changing from a metallic fuselage to a composite one required Airbus to consider all threats (lightning strikes, mechanical impact, scratches) and to define the associated damage. Airbus conducted a survey of in-service damage on single-aisle and long-range programmes to define all “prone to damage” areas.
