About 2 years after the first flight operated by an Airbus A350 XWB, here is a younger brother, a model built on the scale 1: 20, took off in the first flight. The event took place at the Airbus base in Hamburg, Germany.
The small aircraft was piloted by Christoph Paff, an Airbus training mechanic. He took the idea of colleagues to build an A350 model and took the project to another level.
"We were working for a super company, so we should try something bigger: we are building an A350 XWB with a wingspan of 3.20 meters and powered by jet engines," was Paff's statement. The project started in 2011 and was completed in mid-2012. It took 3000 hours of work.
A toy for big people. A passion brought to the extreme by many aviation enthusiasts, but a beautiful passion. Martin Müller, another young man passionate about airplanes, designed and built one Airbus A310 RC to the smallest details.
