Launched in 1987 as part of the initial A330/340 program, the A340-200 flew further than any other commercial airliner for over a decade. It allowed airlines to open non-stop routes such as Paris-Taipei, and Manila-London, […]
The Airbus A330 is closely related to the four engines long range A340 with which it shares near identical systems, airframe, flightdeck and wings, the only major difference being the twin (versus four) engine configuration. […]
The A321 is the largest member of the A320 Family. The A321 program was launched in November 1989 and the first development aircraft first flew on March 11,1993. The basic A321-100 features a reduction in […]
The Airbus A320 is the basis for a whole family of airliners, now including the A318, A319 and A321.The A320 was the first narrow body airliner from Airbus. It was designed with a maximum of […]
The A319 is a minimum change, shortened derivative of the highly successful A320. The major difference between the A320 and A319 is that the latter is shorter by seven fuselage frames, while in almost all […]
The A318 is Airbus smallest airliner , member of the A320 family, and is the European manufacturer’s first model into the 100 seat market. The first flight of the Airbus A318 (F-WWIA) was powered by […]
The A300-600ST Super Transporter (nicknamed Beluga) based on the A300-600 airliner was designed to replace Airbus Industries Super Guppy transports, used by the consortium to ferry oversize components such as wings and fuselage sections between […]
The Airbus A310 twin engine wide-bodied airliners have been built since 1981. The A310 has a shorter fuselage than the A300 aircraft but the same 5.64m fuselage diameter. The A310 is a 200 seated aircraft […]
