Airbus A350-1041 F-WLXV Airbus Industrie (MSN 65, Third A350-1000 Prototype) | Hamburg Finkenwerder XFW/EDHI
The third prototype A350-1000 (MSN 65) landing in Hamburg for full cabin tests. The Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 high-bypass turbofan engines are deploying the thrust reversers to slow down. Red navigation beacon.
Differences over the A350-900 include:
- longer fuselage (from 66.8m to 73.78m)
- more passenger capacity (from 325 to 366 for typical layout)
- increased MTOW (from 280t to 308t)
- more powerful Rolls-Royce Trent engines (XWB-97 with 97.000 lbf compared to XWB-84 with 84.000 lbf)
- three axle main gear bogie with six wheels compared to two axles and four wheels
- slightly increased wing area (cca 4%)
- vortex generators on both inboard and outboard engine cowling sides to maintain take-off and landing performance
