On both the A330neo and A350, the Satellite Landing System (SLS) enables pilots to fly GPS satellite-based approaches, providing lateral and vertical guidance, into airports which are neither equipped with a GBAS ground station nor any functioning radio-based ILS infrastructure. It also allows pilots to do so in the very same manner as they would for a traditional VHF radio-beam ILS approach, since it uses the same ILS symbology.”
Runway Overrun Prevention System (ROPs) alerts the crew if the aircraft is coming in to land with too much energy, should they be too high or too fast, and take into account whether the runway is “wet” or “dry”. Such early warning allows the pilot to make a safe go-around decision, before the landing is committed.
Whereas previously pilots used the paper checklists; following innovation on the A350, Airbus is now implementing integrated checklists into the A330neo, giving pilots the very same digital ‘look and feel’ on both aircraft. In the A330neo these are included in the ‘electronic Quick Reference Handbook’ (eQRH), displayed on the pilot’s EFB screen.
Airbus is replacing the existing cockpit analogue radio systems with a new ‘Digital Radio and Audio Integrating Management System’. DRAIMS, which features new audio management avionics and new user control panels with a large modern digital display, multifunction keys and a numeric keypad, handles all cockpit communication tasks.
The ‘Autopilot / Flight Director Traffic Collision Avoidance System’ (AP/FD TCAS) helps A330neo and A350 pilots to proactively avoid nearby traffic -- either automatically if the the autopilot is active, or via the flight director markers which can guide the pilot to safely perform the manoeuvre manually.

The fully reconfigurable OneSat product line features major innovations and disruptive technologies including the latest digital processing and active antennas enabling several thousand beams. In addition, to meet the demanding schedule for OneSat development, Airbus is applying agile new ways of working with its industrial partners, customers and space agencies.
Superbird-9 will deliver broadcast and broadband missions in Ku band, primarily over Japan and Eastern Asia. It will bring day-to-day flexibility for the SKY Perfect JSAT fleet enabling payload missions to be configured, adapted and combined to perfectly match end-user needs. This covers everything from DTH broadcasting to broadband HTS including maritime and aero-connectivity services, utilising the latest innovations in payload technology and in-orbit resource management.

The initial Airbus A400M military transport aircraft for Belgium has been delivered. This aircraft – the first of seven for the Belgium Air Force – was handed over at the A400M Final Assembly Line in Seville, Spain, and subsequently performed its ferry flight to the 15th Wing Air Transport at Melsbroek, where the aircraft will be based

Among these 14 projects, Airbus engineers have worked closely with SMEs and startups to achieve concrete results such as a first flight-test approved launcher of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) from of a transport aircraft. This project is the result of a cooperation between Airbus as A400M integrator, Geradts GmbH for the launcher and SFL GmbH from Stuttgart for UAV integration and supported by DLR simulations.
