A350 XWB Completes Hot Weather Testing In Al Ain

Focus On Engines And Systems Performance In Hot Weather Conditions

Airbus’ A350 XWB flight test aircraft (MSN3) has completed hot weather testing in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. The objective of the tests is to check the behavior of the engines and aircraft systems at temperatures reaching above 40°C.

The aircraft performed several tests in flight as well as on the ground, including heat soak tests. These involve the airplane being left on the ground and in the sun for several hours and checks later performed on various cooling systems.

The A350 XWB is getting closer to its expected certification in the third quarter of 2014. To date it has performed more than 2,000 flight test hours in over 460 test flights. The program is on track to deliver the first customer aircraft in fourth quarter this year to Qatar.
