A350-900 Maiden Flight

After boarding, the A350 XWB first flight crew gets into their individual positions and commences the milestone maiden voyage with a takeoff from Runway 32L at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport.

[@davirossirosa]

Most beautiful aircraft in current days. Airbus has really surprised me!

[@frylucas]

"Wow, it works"... loved when he said that... lol amazing video!

[@kevinstone9638]

I can't begin to imagine the feeling that the pilots have of being the first to fly such a marvelous aircraft. The power and the control comes down to those few seconds down that runway. From flying your first Cessna to flying something like that it can never get old, and it never changes. When, I fly my Cessna I feel the same as if I was flying a jumbo like that we slip the surely bonds of earth and soar like eagles. That is what it means to be an airman. The looks on their faces speak volumes.

[@neoflyerx]

I’ve never felt so happy for a plane before!

[@snoopydoopy9760]

omg such a beautiful plane, and sooo many people worked so hard to get it in the air. thank you to you all!

[@yvesd_fr1810]

We could easily : we have all the know how and industrial companies (see ramirage, rafale, caravelle, etc.). But you are correct airbus is a joint European project.

[@cullendarling5647]

although isnt the statue of Liberty a "2 off".....or even a "3 off"?

[@MrHypobaric]

Congratulations Airbus. Increasing the cabin Air Pressure is definitely the future for the health of your airline passengers. With the A350's amazing carbon fibre fuselage you are now pressurized to 6,000 ft. But don't stop there. The real challenge now is to achieve an even more highly pressurized cabin. The aim is to get even closer to sea level air pressure, and 4,000 ft is now quite a realistic goal, that will make it clearly superior to the 787.

THE A350 PIECE OF SHIT COPPIED EVERY THING FROM BOEING AND FAILED AND LOOK HOW THE A380 IS THE WORLDS BIGGEST PIECE OF SHIT AND AIRBUSES SUPER JUMBO IS ANOTHER AIRBUS TOTAL FAILURE AND HAS BEEN CANCELLED BY AIRBUS WHICH MAKES THE BOEING 747-8I THE BEST JUMBO JET IN THE WORLD.

[@hishamosman4341]

I appreciate all the good work done by Airbus. Each new aircraft brings a new dimension to air travel. It not only gives better economics to the airlines but also passenger comfort, safety and connectivity. The 787 is also a technological marvel as well, as as the incoming 777X, a330-900 & 800 Neos. Kudos to Airbus for providing these excellent insight videos of their planes, salute!

[@clusterguard]

To me, Airbus represents a true-symbolic value: it is a Victory over ourselves. It has been the bridge that put us with our colleagues and friends almost beyond the horizon. It is a story of beauty, work-together between two continents, that is Africa-and-Europe. It has given us freedom. It liberated us. The 320-321, the work mules. Always ready-to-go. The 340 ... the Queen of the Skies (and my Eternal Love). The 330 ... the new Mule with great Stamina, like the best boxer or marathon runner. And the 380, so incredible that it would even dwarf Magallanes or Copernico. Now, we have the 350 ... the future is brilliant both for Airbus and our work (in fisheries-oceanographic research), weherever we go. Beyond high technology, problem solving, new materials ... there is a dream, hard to measure by scientific standards: Airbus is us. Love from Greenland.

[@zachstabb2001]

[@andrewanane9715]

This is the best first flight EVER! I love Airbus!

[@KabukeeJo]

Airbus: Our new Extra Wide Body planes means more room for passengers so they won't be so cramped!! Airlines: Ooooo!! Now we can squeeze more seats in there & make more money!! Airbus & Boeing could build a plane that was so wide, you could park 4 full sized 18 wheeled trucks in there side by side, & the Airlines will just jam even more seats in and cramp up the passengers. No matter how wide the planes become, the airlines will just use the extra space for more seats, resulting in passengers becoming sardines yet again. (edited for bad grammEr)

[@joshguzek3054]

It's either comfort of cost

[@markwoodstock1112]

So true

[@KabukeeJo]

Josh Guzek An Airline could make more money by raising each seat price $10-$20 than cramming 12 more seats into a plane. I would rather pay $30 more for a seat than be cramped. This is why I fly JetBlue and pay them the extra for the leg room seats.

[@IgnoredAdviceProductions]

The thing is, Business Class is what makes the airlines money. Economy and First barely break even per flight.

[@ianpearson8976]

I have traveled on 787 with Qatar airways and its terribly cramped. Strangely their a350 isn't and is great. A380 with Emirates is always my preference.

I was making some small parts directly for Airbus, in the past, I remember it was a couple of small titanium bushes made on manual lathe, but I was making a lot of more small parts on CNC lathes for various aerospace customers, I think most of them was located in Bristol but some of them we shipped to France for example.

Why are parachutes necessary? Because if the plane crashes, they will be able to unpressurize, and jump out and, while doing this, not get sucked into the engine.
