Airbus’ long-awaited Airbus A350 has taken off on its maiden flight this morning, with thousands of people on hand to witness the event in Toulouse, France. The crowd “applauded as the plane gained height and accelerated away,” reports Sky News of Britain.
The inaugural flight, of course, sets the stage for intensifying competition with U.S. rival Boeing in the long-haul wide-body aircraft market.
