If there's no boeing...i will stop flying across the world. Here's the thing; airbus has more crashes recorded than the boeing. BOEING BOEING BOEING..lets boe the world jare. (America 100 vs 0 Europe).

Check and confirm your records again, Mr. Boeing fan.

Ola one: Amazing.











America, eat your heart out

why all these bad belle against America, now? Una don forget say Google, Facebook, Apple, Windows, and so on, all come from America?

If not for America, yahoo yahoo for no dey?

Watched the whole first flight event live and followed it on live radar till it landed. It was trully amazing. Congrats to the engineers. Some folks were a bit dissapointed that there wasn't as much wing flex as in the B787. I think I prefer the A350 engineers chosen path with respect to their wing design. For a lay person, I think the 787 wing flex might be a bit uncomfortable to look at and it makes you wonder what would happen in case of x number of unexpected stress. What repercussion could that have in the long term for structural intergrity? I'm sure all of this would have been thought of and calculated but a nice stable looking wing will keep ones mind at rest. Shame the landing gear tilt isn't like those of the A330s, that would have made the A340 look more awesome that it is.

i can only say this is awesome.
With all these designs, ships will fly one day

Ola one: Airbus's rival to Boeing's problem-stricken Dreamliner jet completes its maiden flight without a hitch
-The high tech A350 is Airbus's first all-new plane in eight years
-It completed a four-hour test flight from Airbus's plant in Toulouse, France
-The ultra modern jet uses carbon composites and fly-by-wire technology
-Airbus plans to offer three variants to rival Boeing's 777 and 787
-They ditched problematic lithium batteries following Dreamliner debacle

Airbus's new A350 passenger jet, a rival to Boeing's problematic 787 Dreamliner, has completed its maiden flight without a hitch.

Watched by more than 10,000 staff and spectators, the aircraft's curled wingtips sliced into clouds above the Airbus factory in southwestern France and flew over the Pyrenees mountains, with a crew of six wearing orange jumpsuits and parachutes.

The flight, with two former fighter pilots at the controls, lasted about four hours and capped eight years of development estimated to have cost $15 billion.

French co-pilot Guy Magrin took the controls for the take-off at 10:01 local time (0801 GMT), giving the plane air under its wings for the first time in front of a podium of airline chiefs who have ordered 613 aircraft.
It touched down at 14:05 local time, after flying past the Toulouse production site.

'It is a great day for Airbus. A maiden flight doesn't happen that often. It is not like the auto industry, where you launch a new model every two years or even less,' said Tom Enders, the head of Airbus parent EADS.


Airbus is finalising orders from Singapore Airlines , Kuwait Airways and Air France and may add a new customer at the June 17-23 show, analysts say.

Evrard said that Airbus would soon add a customer in the United States, where industry sources say that United Airlines is negotiating to upgrade and expand an existing order to 35 jets.

Airbus initially dismissed the threat posed by the new generation of mid-sized aircraft as it focused on building the world's largest airliner, the A380 superjumbo.

But faced with burgeoning Dreamliner sales, it changed tack and overhauled the design of the A350 by adopting similar composites technology in 2006.

Where are the Americans and their Dreamliners?

op why the beef?

Ola one: Imagine. This charred battery belongs to America's Dreamliner. Talk about getting it wrong.

innovation doesn't come cheap so even if they get it wrong they have to work hard to get it right

I hope I get the chance to fly on these babies

loswhite: op why the beef?

Just having fun. #Handbag tinz
