Airbus has received the front fuselage section for its first A350-1000 prototype. The -1000 will utilize fuselage components from its smaller -900 cousing (which is now flying), but with a redesigned wing and more seating. Whereas the -900 model competes with the Boeing 787, the -1000 model is aimed at the Boeing 777 market.

An amateur plane spotter recently released dramatic footage of an Airbus A380 - the world's largest airliner - landing in a heavy crosswind. Although the airplane was never in any danger, it's always impressive when an airplane this big has to come in at an aggressive angle.
