Airbus A350 XWB Flight test campaign
FWIW local news sources all saying 1000 French time:
I did get it right in a post at lunchtime, but PPRuNe has been having database issues and a number of posts have disappeared from this and other threads.

FYI the whole 5+ hours video is still available at the aformentioned "live" link. Not live anymore, obviously, but still watchable (and quite enjoyable).
These Airbus PR people are good. The images from the companion plane are breathtaking. Quite a show I must say. Even the weather has cooperated
I'm eager to read some insider information here. The official stance is that everything has been "nominal" but I'm sure something must have gone a bit wrong somewhere, hasn't it?

What's the saying? "If it looks right, it'll fly right". To me, that looks very "right" - bit like the 757-200 did/does.
Do we know cruise Mach yet - the sweep on the wings looks huge.

Speed is planned to match A380's one then M0.85. That's why the sweep is increased by 3° compared to the A330/340 to reach 35°.
Almost ready to fly over Paris Airshow now...

That makes it more crowded that the nose of the 380 then.

Hey!
MFPs look good to me. Aren't there (among many things, I'm sure) what some people (and I among others) discussed about 447, i.e. a simple & easy way to avoid NCDing AoA values because of a lack of forward airspeed?

forward airspeed?
Optional on A320/A330/A340 (it requires a certain level of EIS1 or EIS2) and is standard equipment on A380/A350.

The BUSS comes with AoA sensing thru IR (above the sensing thru ADR).
You don't have to activate the BUSS for this. its there once installed.
It is still usable, but not advised, because if icing of pitots occurs above FL250 this is only a temporary situation.

According to Airbus, BUSS is not usable above FL250....

- Its utilization requests a lot of attention
- Its utilization is uneasy when changing the configuration
- Its activation is irreversible
- Its utilization requests regular training
