Airbus's A321XLR Airliner Flies at the Farnborough Airshow – AIN

Описание: The initial version of the Airbus A321XLR powered by CFM International's Leap 1A engines has received type certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), preparing the way for the entry into service of the narrowbody airliner at the end of the summer.

According to Airbus, the 4,700 nautical mile range A321XLR introduces the flexibility to add capacity, open new routes, or even continue operating existing aircraft during periods of variable demand. While burning 30% less fuel per seat than its competitors’ previous generation aircraft, the long-range Airbus narrowbody operates at a trip cost of about half that of modern widebodies, it added.

The first A321XLR completed its first flight in June 2022 and has since taken part in a test program involving three aircraft. Airbus has collected orders for more than 500 XLRs.
