Dritte A380 zum Erstflug gestartet

[afromme]

...frisch von airbus.com:

Airbus' third A380, MSN 2, performed a successful first flight yesterday afternoon, 3rd November. The flight lasted three hours and took the aircraft over Southern France. During the flight, all systems were checked out and the whole flight envelope was cleared. The tests performed were similar to those of a serial production plane.

 

 

Außerdem Neues zur A380-Australien/Asien-Tour.

At the request of Rolls-Royce, as a precautionary measure, two Trent 900 engines are being replaced on A380 number One. This follows a thorough review by the engine manufacturer of an earlier engine change, and leads to a slight shift in the A380 tour to Asia and Australia. The A380 is now due to arrive in Singapore on Friday 11th November, instead of Tuesday 8th. The subsequent tour to Australia remains unchanged. The aircraft will then visit Kuala Lumpur on Thursday 17th November.

 

Dabei wird auch nochmal erwähnt:

Flight tests of the A380 are progressing without any major issues being discovered.

 

 

soweit,
