Why does the undercarriage remain down for so long?

Well done Airbus. Who on earth is the stupid anchor women on the Airbus youtube channel?

Well she's away. Looks nice and that from a Boeing chap!

I believe it's normal for first flights not to raise the gear. Gently does it as it were.

Ha, 'incremental' testing of possible flying modes before going on to more routine, conventional modes. (Good answer?)

The live video link is not available " pas disponible" in Germany apparently .
Some PR blunder somewhere down the chain ?
Anyway good luck to the new bird, hoefully with less problems as its main competitor .

Try secondary, streaming smoothly through Firefox here in Frankfurt:

A350 XWB First Flight

looks "magnifique" in the french sky

perfect Gear-up sequence. :ok:

maybe someone over there in Seattle is also watching...;)

Would be quite interesting to listen to if that stupid Bint had an ounce of aviation knowledge. Truly awful choice of anchor! :(

I love you.........but I don't love you!
Comedy gold with the CEO of Airbus:p

What an abysmal choice of anchor person without a clue about anything!!!
Did Airbus trawl the 'failed to get a job at Eurovision' pool?
Really really bad and so unprofessional.

She may have the look of monumental cluelessness about her, but her job is really just to have a nice pair of legs and fill in the void between the grown-ups talking expert talk. On the first point she's doing rather nicely, and that's good enough for me.

There's a fresh face playing host now, but what's more important is that MSN001 should be back on terra firma in about an hour. Looking forward to seeing her doing the low-pass and subsequent landing.

poor anchor bla,bla...
 

Who cares, it's Freitag/Vendredi and there will be some sore heads tomorrow in Toulouse and Hamburg!!

:ok:

20milesout ; Thanks , your link do work . waiting for the landing live ..

They must be happy on board. Up to 25,000ft and 470mph. Better than earlier in the flight at 12,000ft and 200mph. Wonder if the landing gear is still down at that height and speed?

Amazing. The first flight of a new aircraft that will generate trillions in revenue. A fantastic marketing opportunity. And Airbus give the world this shoddy show.
It would have cost pennies (in marketing terms) to have created a polished, professional presentation that reflected well on the product.
