Boeing is watching what's happening on the old continent ...
Airbus has installed on the first flight-test A350 XWB its two flight-ready Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines and is also installing the new Honeywell HGT1700 APU.
"With the installation of its engines and also the APU, the A350 XWB MSN001 becomes essentially a ‘completed’ aircraft. Following the ongoing ground tests, other preparations and also painting in the coming weeks, MSN001 will then be handed over to the Airbus Flight Test team to commence preparations for ground runs and maiden flight in the summer."
