AeroPolaris announces new models

Really eager to see photos of the Aero Polaris A350-1000 mould and the winglet.

These photos from Wingsworld (will share my own photos once I get my own one from mail) seem to show Aero Polaris putting the 3 SSA (side-slip angle) sensors beneath the cockpit.

But I don’t think B-18918 ever has SSAs installed?

Sorry for the nitpicking… Just curious to know if the real thing has them at one point or not.

According to this StackExchange post, the SSAs were removed from later models because they were considered redundant, and my guess would be that China Airlines retroactively removed those sensors on their frames, at least the earlier-built ones like B-18918 which would have come with them from the factory. Indeed, photos of B-18918 from 2019 show the SSAs still present. They seem to have been there even as late as 2024.
