Airliners.net Civil Aviation: "Any 747 Order Is A Potential A380 Order". Airbus: "the A350 won't have bleedless engines, they will use the same engines as the 787 but they will use bleed air. Thus they won't be removing the duct work and other bleed air support systems thus that weight will still be carried along. The 787 will be bleedless becuase it is designed from the outset to be bleedless the A350 is derivative of the A330 which uses bleed air. To redesign the A350 to be bleedless would entail a wholesale new design and would cost significantly more than $5bn."
