On June 14, the first Airbus A350 completed its maiden flight at the Toulouse-Blagnac Airport and was tested for four hours with two pilots and a tiny flight crew of engineers.
In 2008, Airbus selected SYSGO's PikeOS as DO-178B reference platform for the A350 XWB for the FSA-NG system. The purpose of the FSA-NG system is to provide the pilot with access to applications and information during the flight as well as to provide data for the maintenance team.
