Airbus will be exhibiting the prototype A380 (MSN001) at next week's Singapore Airshow which runs between 19 and 24 February.

The A380 has been prepared for the show with the application of "Greener Cleaner Quieter Smarter" titles following the manufacturer's recent alternative fuels demonstration flight as part of its environmental programme.

Photographed at Toulouse on 12 February, the Rolls-Royce Trent 900-powered A380 will take part in the daily flying schedule and will also be exhibited at the static display area throughout the week. This A380, which bore the brunt of the flight-test programme, does not have a furnished cabin.

Airbus used its other Rolls-Royce Trent 900-powered A380 test aircraft (MSN004) for the gas-to-liquid alternative fuel demonstration flight earlier this month between Filton and Toulouse.
