Boeing 787‑10 and Airbus A350‑900 differ in length and landing‑gear design

The Boeing 787‑10 measures 224 feet in overall length, while the Airbus A350‑900 is 219 feet 2 inches long.

The 787‑10 employs a semi‑levered landing‑gear system with a hydraulic actuator for takeoff, whereas the A350‑900 uses a traditional center‑pivoting main‑gear bogie equipped with a nitrogen‑oil shock‑absorber strut. The A350‑900 can support a maximum landing weight of over 300 tons, a figure slightly higher than the 787‑10’s maximum landing weight, and the 787‑10’s gear design also prevents tail strikes during rotation.
