Nope. First flight is scheduled for tomorrow and RTO is usually 1 day before first flight.

In a sense yes, though not literally. Because all production flights are test flights, so before every single flight (and I would guess RTO) there are a lot more checks than on a normal flight. I remember that during my work experience at Airbus it took about 6 hours to get the plane ready. I guess with the A350 being so young it's gonna take even longer. |
