The #A350's 64.75m wing-span is designed using nature’s perfect understanding of aerodynamics to maximise lift and reduce drag, further optimising fuel burn and lowering CO2 emissions.
Here are 2 ways the #A350 reduces drag & fuel burn.
Here are 2 ways the #A350 reduces drag & fuel burn.
1. Variable Camber (VC) symmetrically in cruise optimizes wing profile by small flap deflection & aileron droop in order to manage the center of lift of the wing & adjust the camber or the wing in order to reduce drag & slightly improve performance.
👆One can see and hear the flaps actuators work in cruise.

This gives better control of the longitudinal loads on the wing optimising the lift over drag ratio in cruise.

I often post pics of the @Airbus #A350 flightdeck and get lots of questions about what is where and what does that do…so a little thread to help explain the screens and options that #WePilots have with them using my limited knowledge. First… the middle #aviation #airbus #Pilot
The two centre screens are electronically split into four. The upper two give information such as systems on left and anomalies on right. Lower are used to give the aircraft information from the pilots, such as route, weather, speeds, performance details, etc. #aviation
The displays in front of either pilot are configurable as the pilot wishes. The inboard display is seen here with camera and airfield navigation system displayed but it can also be primary flight instruments and navigation. The outboard is our Electronic Flight Bag. #aviation
A dual departure by @VirginAtlantic & @British_Airways from the westerly runways at @HeathrowAirport this morning to mark the opening of the #USA to double vaccinated travellers. But why did one #aircraft go North (the long way) and the other go West? Thread… #Airport #WePilots
The simple answer is, that if both take off at the same time and go west towards @JFKairport, they will eventually get in each other’s way. So the aircraft (@VirginAtlantic) on 27L continued straight ahead on a CPT departure & the (@British_Airways) turned north on an UMLAT.

L’#A380 d’#AirFrance s’est envolé une dernière fois avec à son bord 500 personnels qui l’ont fait voler pendant plus de 10 ans. #AF380

After a few months of hard work, today is the day where the 'A320 Family Archive' (@A320Archive) becomes 'AIB Family Flights' (@aibfamilyflight). Besides logging the #A220 and #A320 Family, the Project now also logs the #A330, #A350 & #A380 Family.

The new name has already been accessible under a new domain name: aibfamily.flights I tried not to drastically change anything, so other than a darker Header Color its still all what you are used too 🎨

Every Aircraft still has its own profile with beautiful full-width Aircraft images from the usual known local Aviation Photographers. As always a big THANK YOU goes out to them for allowing me to use their photos in the Project 📸
