Airbus A350 first test flight
Discussion
I know I'm probably passing idle comment on a debate that ranks above religion and sport to those that argue it, but looking at the specs for this jet, the airbus range really seems to have boeing on the back foot.
Can't wait for the '-900R to be in service on the london-oz route, hopefully with comparably priced seats, other halfs an aussie so we make regular trips.

You usually sit in an office and buy it over the phone, then you transfer it to someone else who you then immediately l lease it from.
I can't help thinking that if they bought the leasing company they'd save a lot of money...They're not stupid, or like politicians with public resources...

How comes they left the undercarriage down for so long?
First flight, they have other more important things to test than finding out the undercarriage doesnt work, im guessing. Also testing drag etc...The departure angle is probably higher in order to maintain normal engine operating parameters and remain below the landing gear limiting speed.

anyone interested.
BA are apparently having one on loan for the weekend of 6/7th June for the staff to have a look around.
First visit to LHR unless I am mistaken.
Qatar brought one in 8-10 weeks ago. And very nice it was too. BA are apparently having one on loan for the weekend of 6/7th June for the staff to have a look around.
