How the A350-900 fits into the A350 story

Why it branches from the family

The A350-900 is treated as the representative branch because it captures the baseline branch most tied to airline flagship renewals.

Variant pages stay intentionally narrower than the family page so differences in cabin, engines, mission, and market role remain clear without duplicating the full program history.
