First landing gear for Airbus A350XWB delivered to Airbus

Airbus has received the initial main landing gear set for its A350 XWB, which is to be installed on the jetliner’s system test rig – along with the first nose landing gear received last month from  Filton, UK. This upcoming industrial milestone will clear the way for testing to demonstrate the system’s reliability and maturity, and also provide data for certification – particularly in the areas of extension-retraction, braking and steering.
