Spot an A350 at a glance
Look for the dark cockpit-window mask and the curved, swept-up wingtips. Use several clues together: no single detail tells the whole story.
The A350 is a twin-engine widebody. The cockpit mask is a useful starting point, but other Airbus aircraft have a similar look.
Try this: Find the A350 in the aircraft library and look at its nose, engines and wingtips together.
Airbus A350 family (opens in a new tab)High wing or low wing?
Start with where the wing meets the fuselage. A Cessna 172 has a high wing above the cabin. A Cirrus SR22 has a low wing below it.
Wing position is a quick way to narrow your search, but many aircraft share the same layout. Check the tail, landing gear and number of engines as well.
Try this: Compare the Cessna 172 and the Cirrus SR22. Which details stand out before you read their names?
Cessna Skyhawk (opens in a new tab)What do winglets actually do?
Air flows around a wingtip and creates a swirling wake. Winglets can reduce the induced drag linked to that wake, helping an aircraft use less fuel.
Not every efficient wing needs an upright winglet. The Boeing 787 uses long, swept-back raked wingtips instead. Wingtip shape is a useful spotting clue too.
Try this: Look at the wingtips of the A350 and the 787 side by side. Can you see the different approaches?
