Less than one year after delivering the first A350 XWB (-900), the first A350-1000 is taking shape with the assembly start of the first fuselage major components at Airbus plants in Hamburg and Saint-Nazaire.

The forward fuselage section has been delivered by Premium Aerotec to Airbus in Hamburg where it will be equipped before being flown to Saint-Nazaire on board the Beluga. The nose fuselage section has been delivered by Stelia Aerospace to Airbus in Saint-Nazaire for assembly and equipping. The forward and nose fuselage sections will then be joined together in Saint-Nazaire to form the front fuselage which will then be flown by Beluga to the A350 XWB Final Assembly Line in Toulouse.

Assembly of the first A350-1000 wings got underway in August this year at Airbus in Broughton and final assembly of the aircraft will begin in Toulouse early 2016, followed by the first flight second half 2016. First deliveries are scheduled to start mid-2017.

Measuring nearly 74 meters from nose to tail, the A350-1000 is the longest-fuselage version of Airbus’ all-new family of widebody jetliners. The A350-1000 comfortably seats 366 passengers in a typical 3-class configuration and flies on routes up to 8,000 nautical miles.

Maximising commonality with the A350-900, the A350-1000 offers best-in-class cabin efficiency and comfort, with new cabin crew rest compartment improvements, new In Flight Entertainment (IFE), optimised lavatory shapes and new galley arrangements.

Another challenge involves the number of “heads of version,” or an operator’s first airplane, that Airbus must deliver in a short time: three this year to Finnair, Vietnam Airlines and, very soon, Brazil’s TAM. The airframer must deliver at least four more heads of version next year, to Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Ethiopian and Lufthansa. Consequently, Airbus has reinforced its final assembly line by adding four work stations at different steps. The production cycle at Toulouse, which now takes several months, will reach between seven and 11 weeks by the end of 2017.

Regarding the future A350-1000, a longer version of the A350-900 that can seat 366 passengers in a three-class cabin layout, the CEO confirmed entry into service in the summer of 2017. Airbus plans to install the first Rolls-Royce Trent engine on an A380 soon to start test flights. This first campaign will prove quite short and end with the first flight of the A350-1000, scheduled for mid-2016, said Airbus. Then certification of the program will involve three aircraft. Regarding production, Airbus plants at Broughton, UK; Saint-Nazaire, France; and Hamburg; have all begun preparing to deliver their shipsets to Toulouse for start of final assembly in the first quarter of next year.
