This is what MAKS visitors will see inside A350.

MSN1 first flying prototype is visiting MAKS Russian Airshow this week.






This first prototype with register F-WXWB has a very interesting interior as it is being used for exploring the flight envelope and to test systems and powerplant.





During the certification phase, she flew more than 1000 hours in 275 flights since the first flight on 14/June/2013.

The Russian show is famous because of the flight displays. And this MAKS 2015 will be no exception at all.
