Currently two A350 XWB flight test aircraft flying, MSN1 and MSN3. Both aircraft are fitted with heavy test instrumentation and are successfully carrying out performance and systems evaluations in extreme environmental conditions.

MSN2 and MSN5 will be fitted with cabins and will carry out the Early Long Flights and Route Proving Flight later this year. MSN4 will be fitted with light flight test instrumentation and will perform external noise and lightening tests avionics development and certification testing.
