Believe me, Airbus haven't got the engineering resource to develop the A350 yet, and they won't until the A380 has completed the majority of it's flight testing and development. Then there's the A400M........

At the moment it's a paper aeroplane and a marketing issue. Even so, a shrewd move to give the illusion of competing with the 7E7 (which, by the way is still a paper aeroplane, but a lot more trees have been felled in the name of the 7E7, I should know, I'm sitting under some of it!)
