Airbus hasn't yet decided what type of window technology it will use on the A350 XWB, which is scheduled to enter into service in 2013.
Here is where Airbus stands on the issue:
"We call it a 'Controllable Sunlight Blocking System' precisely because we have not yet finalized the technology between electrically dimmable windows (similar to 787) and electromechanical window shades (similar to A380).
"When we decide (and we are not under pressure, as the technology of the dimmable solution is still maturing), they will be optional not basic, in line with our customers' expectations."
