LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Airbus' redesigned A350 aircraft, likely to be unveiled at the Farnborough Air Show next week, will match the speed of Boeing's 787 and slightly exceeding its range, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing confidential Airbus marketing documents. The A350 cabin will become slightly wider than that of Dreamliner, seating nine passengers in each row instead of the eight planned in the earlier version, the report said. Airbus is 80% owned by European defense company EADS.
