Airbus puts Qantas’ A350-1000ULR through its paces as it finishes 24-hour flight

Airbus successfully concluded a demanding 24-hour test flight aboard Qantas' A350-1000ULR aircraft, marking the completion of this crucial endurance evaluation. The flight originated and returned to Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, France, demonstrating the aircraft’s capabilities under prolonged operational conditions. This extended test validated key systems and performance parameters for the ultra-long range variant. Data gathered during the flight will now be analyzed by both Airbus and Qantas teams. The successful outcome paves the way for further assessments and ultimately, certification of the A350-1000ULR for its intended routes.
