X Means Experimental. Airbus Used XX In Place Of A Number While In Conceptual & Development Stage.

Boeing Used E Before Designating 787 As In 7E7.
You Can Buy A Host Of Airbus A-3XX Models In House Colors.

But Don't Confuse With Numbers/Letters Like 777-300ER Or 777-200LR.
ER Means Extended Range, LR Means Long Range.
Confusing To The Novice I Know But You'll Get Used To It.
