An incredible set of multi-million dollar Airbus planes soared to the sky into an astounding formation exhibiting excellent piloting skills.
The event came about to celebrate the 25 years of Airbus' 'fly-by-wire' system, which refers to a semi-automatic controlling system to change the manual pilot controls, as detailed by Traveller.
The four single-aisled and wide-bodied jetliner on Airbus "family flight" commercial planes consists of the double-decker Airbus A380, A350 XWB, A330 and A320neo, which hit the skies over the French countryside that left everyone in awe. The carriers are the most advanced aircraft line out there.
'Fly-by-wire' technology helped make the operations and maintenance more efficient, as well as it reduced the pilot training required.
The Airbus A320 was the first aircraft with fly-by-wire system to be used commercially. From then on, this technology has been used in the succeeding planes that Airbus manufactured.
Both A320 and A330 are the best-selling airplanes in the world but its superjumbo counter part, Airbus A380, floundered in its sales in the previous years. The A320 have a seating capacity of about 150-180 people. On the other hand, the A330 can accommodate 335 passengers in a flight and is being used by over a hundred airline companies in the world, Mirror reports.
The A380 is a double-decker four-engine jet airliner which is currently the largest commercial aircraft. It holds 18-inch seats that scream comfortability, 11-inches seats for 615 passengers and a private three-room suite.
Meanwhile, the A350, is built with plastic reinforced by carbon fibre, together with titanium and aluminum alloys which help aircrafts save on fuel when it's made of lightweight materials.
There are 6,000 workers at the Broughton plant in Flinsthire where most of the airplane wings are built, according to Daily Post.
The site added, "It's a family built on shared values of efficiency, quality, innovation and commonality," an Airbus representative stated.
