VMU first tests were done at Paris Vatry airport.


Airbus has been conducting minimum-unstick testing with the A350-900 prototype at Paris Vatry airport as part of the aircraft's certification program.



The twinjet, MSN1, has "successfully completed" the test as part of the high-lift configuration optimization effort, says Airbus.





Minimum-unstick tests involve determining the lowest threshold airspeed at which the aircraft will become airborne, which requires holding the jet at a high nose attitude on rotation, to the point where the tail makes ground contact.

A380 MSN1 was on Vatry on 27/June/2007


Based on the article “A350 undertakes minimum-unstick testing” published in FlightGlobal.
