This Airbus A350 XWB put on a striking display at the Farnborough airshow, with skill on show like we’ve never seen before.
The ‘Xtra-Wide-Body’ Airbus A350 XWB aircraft rose up into the sky with moves that resembled a fighter plane.
According to Qatar Airways itself, the airplane, powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, can travel at a speed of Mach 0.85.
The almost horizontal take off left the crowd in awe as it was captured by Topfelya, which you can watch above and experience for yourself.
