Airbus A350 XWB Aircraft

The beautiful A350 XWB aircraft (MSN001) will now be handed to engineers to perform ground testing in preparation for her maiden flight this summer.

The stunning Airbus livery includes the letters XWB in prominent display. This refers to the two Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines powering the new plane.

The aircraft painting was finished in less than a week and followed the recent completion of flight-test-instrumentation (FTI) verification.

Here at planefinder.net we can’t wait to track this beautiful aircraft on her test flights.
