The A350 and the 787 are not really in direct competition, only the smallest A350 (A350-800) competes with the largest 787 (787-9). So I shall compare these two aircraft. It must be remembered that the A350 is actually in competition with the 777 and that the larger variants of the A350 will have better statistics than the stats shown below.
Passengers (maximum): A350-800: 440 787-9: 290
Range: A350-800: 8,500 nmi 787-9: 8500nmi
MTOW: A350-800: 259t 787-9: 251t
MLW: A350-800: 193t 787-9: 193t
Cruise (Mach): A350-800: 0.85 787-9: 0.85
Maximum (Mach): A350-800: 0.89 787-9: 0.89
Service Ceiling: A350-800: 43,100ft 787-9: 43,000ft
Engines: A350-800: RR Trent XWB 787-9: GEnx or RR Trent 1000
Maximum Thrust: A350-800: 79,000lbf 787-9: 71,000lbf
Cost ($millions): A350-800: 245.5 787-9: 200
As this comparison shows, the two are very equally matched, the only differences being cost and seats but these two cancel each other out. Sales cannot be compared yet as the 787-9 is already available whereas the A350 isn't.
As I have previously said, the A350 and 787 are not in direct competition, with the 787 being a large variant of the family and the A350 being a small variant of the family. To summarise, the 787-9 is a big version of a smaller plane with smaller engines whereas the A350-800 is a condensed version of a large airliner. This means that the A350-800 is a more advanced airliner (e.g better and more powerful engines) than the 787-9 and if cost were no factor, the A350-800 would be the only choice for any airline.

Comperision between boing and Airbus?
well i like Boeing better but airbus has more tecnology on it new aircraft, so its also a good aircraft but Boeing has been around alot longer and knows the airline buisness more and better. but when airbus came out with the a380 Boeing designed the 787 which just came out, so its whatever you chose but Boeing is the best.
Name how many aircraft you know?
Boeing 747 Boeing 787 Boeing 737 Boeing 777 airbus a380 airbus a320 airbus a340 airbus a318 airbus a319 airbus a321 airbus a322 Spitfire Hawker Hurricane Wellington Bomber Lancaster Bomber Concord Harrier Jump Jet
How much bigger is the Boeing 747 than the Boeing 787?
the Boeing 747 is bigger han the 787. The Boeing 747 can seat over 400 people, but the Boeing 787 can only seat about 300 passengers. The Boeing 747 is the second largest commercial airplane in the world. (the largest commercial airplane in the world is the airbus A380.)
For what purpose is the Boeing 787 in terms of distance and ranged flights cargo ect?
The 787 is to replace the older 767, and to compete with the Airbus 330.
