![]() ![]() The new forward onboard camera and the exterior views of the aircraft arriving and parking are a great addition. Lastly due to the quality of the visuals and number of different camera angles, as someone that aspires to one day man an airliner I found myself sometimes feeling like "I was flying the aircraft". The crew do a great job of explaining the cockpit systems in away that a casual viewer and avgeek can find valuable. + Cameras on the ground in the Caribbean to film landing & takeoff!įirstly want to start off by saying I have been a Justplanes customer from 2009, the year I started my pilots license.Īfter watching their Ethiopian A350 program, one that I recommend so you can see their operations from an airline and perspective I am sure most people haven't, I was quick to download this program.įor this program in specific it follows the standard justplanes format, which I think is as entertaining as it is informative for either someone just embarking on their aviation passion to someone that is a seasoned pilot. + Great scenery on arrival in the Caribbean and morning arrival in Paris! + Cockpit filming using up to 8 cameras for great views on takeoff & landing! All in all a great cockpit film to start 2021, the year we will celebrate our 30th anniversary! Our 4 and a half hour film features 2 great pilots who will present every aspect of the flight and the aircraft to you in details from the preparations on the ground to the set-up in the cockpit, an external walkaround inspection of the aircraft, cockpit presentations and a lot more captured by 8 cameras in the cockpit as well as 2 cameras on the ground in the caribbean to capture the landing and takeoff from the outside. We now return to the airline to film its latest arrival, the largest model of the new Airbus A350XWB! Click here for information on that program. The overall result is an extremely efficient wing that produces more lift with less weight and is capable of advanced load handling performance that helps to reduce the aircraft’s fuel burn and CO2 emissions.Just Planes first visited Air Caraibes 15 years ago to film the airlines trans-atlantic operation on the Airbus A330 as well as the 4 aircraft types it operated in the caribbean. The Differential Flaps Settings (DFS), unique to the A350, optimises cruise aerodynamic efficiency and lateral loads through the control of the wing centre of the lift position where inner and outer flaps are deflected differentially.īoth VC and DFS are fully transparent for the pilots and are embedded into the flight control laws. The VC allows the flaps to be deflected symmetrically in cruise to optimise the wing profile and better control the longitudinal loads on the wing optimising the lift over drag ratio in cruise. The A350's 64.75m wing-span is designed using nature’s perfect understanding of aerodynamics to maximise lift and reduce drag, further optimising fuel burn and lowering CO2 emissions.Īnother wing-design feature is the Variable Camber (VC). This design principle makes the aircraft structure optimised and lighter along the fuselage, once again contributing to a lower environmental impact. It also enables local thickness optimisation and weight control (thicker on the top and bottom panels where most of the weight stands, and thinner side panels). ![]() The 4-panel design enables long fuselage sections thanks to its industrial simplicity compared to the barrel design. The extensive use of advanced materials, together with innovative structural engineering, enables the A350 Operating Weight Empty (OWE) to be 20t lighter than the current 777-300ERs that it replaces. With the A350 Family, the outcome is a predominantly composite material aircraft (up to 54%), complemented by titanium and advanced metallic alloys. Lightweight and high-strength materials have consistently played a key role in the construction of fuel-efficient and high-performing aircraft.Īirbus has continuously increased the use of advanced and composite materials, with the development of each new aircraft type, eventually culminating with the A350. ![]()
