Airbus has confirmed that it will showcase the
A350-1000 for the first time in Russia during the MAKS 2021
International Aerospace Show which will take place in Zhukovsky
from 20 to 25 July.
The
Airbus A350-1000 will also take part in the flight programme of
MAKS 2021 aerospace show from 20 to 22 of July.
The A350-1000 is the largest member of the clean
sheet design A350 widebody Family, with a seating capacity of up
to 440 passengers in a single class.
The aircraft's
state-of-the-art aerodynamics, inspired by nature, incorporates morphing technology that continuously optimises the wing
profile to reduce drag and lower fuel burn and CO2 emissions.
More than
70% of the airframe is made from advanced materials, including 53%
composites, and the
aircraft is powered by Rolls Royce Trent XWB 97 engines with 15%
increased thrust. The A350-1000 can fly up to 16,100km. .
The Russian carrier, Aeroflot, already operates 6 A350-900.
Another
highlight on static display will be the EC145 helicopter – one of
the 5 EC145, owned by the city of Moscow and operated by the
Moscow Aviation Centre (MAC).
