The A319neo test aircraft took off from Toulouse at 12:30 local time and landed at 15:20. It was flown by a crew of five including Captain Philippe Castaigns, First Officer Shaun Wildey, flight test engineers Frank Hohmeister, David O\u2019Nions, and Test flight engineer Cedric Favrichon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aircraft, MSN 6464, will perform an extensive flight test campaign in order to achieve its certification with P&amp;W GTF engines by Q4 2019. The same aircraft had originally been powered with CFM International LEAP-1A engines for that variant\u2019s full certification test campaign, which began on 31 March 2017 prior to FAA\/EASA certification in December 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The A319neo is the smallest member of the A320neo family. This family is the world\u2019s best-selling single aisle aircraft, with over 6,500 orders from some 100 customers since its launch in 2010. It has pioneered and incorporated the latest technologies, including its new-generation engines and the industry&#8217;s reference cabin design, delivering 20% fuel cost per seat savings alone. The A320neo Family also offers significant environmental benefits with a nearly 50% reduction in noise footprint compared to previous generation aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>#A319neo #WeArePW #Airbus<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last of the A320neo variants, an Airbus A319neo, has completed its maiden flight powered by Pratt &#038; Whitney GTF engines for the first time.
