Airbus SAS’s first flyable A350 rolled out of the paint shop as engineers prepare for the maiden test flight in coming weeks. The plane, with a blue Airbus logo and the A350 name painted onto a white fuselage, emerged from the hangar today in Saint Martin, a suburb of Toulouse in southwestern France, where Airbus also paints its wide-body A330 planes.[/quote]

Well, it certainly looks better in the full livery than it did as a green skin
And it even has engines now

Personally I think it's hideous.

Remove the livery and you could be looking at a dreamliner

[Charl]

Well not really... they've tried to make it look like something not styled by a committee of Beancounters.
Whether the Zorro Mask effect works for you...?



Of more interest to passengers: this one is wider than the Dreamliner, whose ANA 2-4-2 seating won't happen.
10-abreast it will be, and that is truly horrible.

Think this need ARBUST needs a shave ... so young and whiskers already .. ... no wonder the mask

I think its a Boeing thing , A good documentary about the B-29 were one who flew the aircraft during Wubula Wubula two said after the war , if he's fly's he insisted it had to be Boeing .. guess its the same as buying a Ford Holden or a Datsun Mazda ... The 330/340s appeal to me ... as do the 300/310 series , Yeah the 320 ... worst that horrid crash mobeel , .. well every time its on the ground it away crash's into something ... spose if you looked so ugly you would want destroy yourself , that being the 380
