Composites on the A350 XWB

Composite materials make up more than 50 per cent of the A350 XWB -- the most ever for an Airbus aircraft -- resulting in the aircraft's lightweight, strong and durable airframe.

Les planeurs ont été les premiers full composites depuis... les années 1970!

Will Airbus be streaming the first flight/take off on KZbin?

You have to undertand the sound ''e'' in french cause she's using it a lot (je suis ''ee'' francophon''e'' d''e'' naissanc''e''...''eee'') :)

Much too conventional thinking. It could have been much lighter. Less than half the weight.

If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going.

[@diegoarpino2080]

I'm kind of skeptical on whats happening with Boeing and the 737 Max. I really hope those issues get resolved, as that plane is so cool and has so much potential. Personally, I prefer Airbus, but I love both.
