Lessee... I learned something very important: the test crew waved an Airbus flag from a hatch. I’m so happy CNN had room in the article for that bit of irrelevant trivia. Whoopee.

I also learned that the A350-800 seats 270 passengers, while the A350-900 seats 314 and the A350-1000 seats 350 passengers. Oh, that’s interesting. I wonder why they didn’t tell us how many wheels they have?

BUT... the ONE pertinent bit of information that caused me to read this article in the first place, and probably caused most people to read it, WAS TOTALLY ABSENT; namely, how many passengers can the XWB seat? That would be 440, max. Had to look it up elsewhere.

Thanks, CNN. For nothing. Next time I see a CNN article, I will start elsewhere to get answers I’d like to have, and not waste my time.

No reflection whatsoever on you, EveningStar, but I HATE the LSM, and not just for political reasons.

Huh?

The “XWB” is a name for the A350 family, not a single model.

If you had checked my comments section, you would have noticed that I had listed several other sources:
