This new model was presented at the ILA Berlin 2018 (Innovation and Leadership in the aerospace sector) that was held from April 25-29, fully assembled but with no passengers on board.

They carried out a flight test for everyone to see it in action. The most surprising part of the demonstration was the almost vertical takeoff this new planemodel is capable of performing.

Technical characteristics of the Airbus A350

This commercial aircraft has the ability to accommodate 288 to 366 passengers. And it was initially conceived to compete against other large aircraft models, such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Boeing 777, which are designed for long-haul travel and can fly over 12,000 kilometers with passengers on board.

The test was performed without passengers

No, Airbus' demonstration wasn't carried out with anyone on board. Yes, the plane is fully equipped with passenger seats.

Along with the A350, otheraircraft models and different technological advances were presented, such as a plane with modified wings, a military transport aircraft, etc.
