Airbus A350-900 receives EASA Type Certification

Airbus has secured European certification for the A350-900 following a 15-month flight-test campaign comprising more than 2,600h. The European Aviation Safety Agency has certified the aircraft with two maximum take-off weight variants: a basic 268t and a higher 275t option. This higher capability is intended to mitigate the A350’s airframe weight which is around 3t above Airbus’s target specification. (www.airbus.com) Ещё...
