On completion of its CFM-related flight testing, MSN11058 began its next phase of duties – this time fitted with Pratt & Whitney engines so that the aircraft could perform take-off performance and the exterior noise and tests close to Seville, Spain with that engine type – w...
The A321XLR has been designed to maximize overall commonality with the A321LR and the rest of the A320neo Family, while introducing minimal changes needed to give the aircraft an Xtra Long Range with increased revenue payload. The changes include: the new permanent Rear Centre Tank (RCT) for ...
Airbus A321XLR - This aircraft has a range of 4,700 nautical miles (8,700 km, 5,408 miles) Again, the Boeing 787-8 leads in range. Despite extra fuel tanks and a more powerful engine thrust, the A321XLR doesn't stand up against the 787-8. The A321XLR was not part of the plan....

“In order to become a long-range aircraft, the A321XLR needs to carry more fuel, which means increasing the A321’s maximum take-off weight. In turn this requires uprated landing gear and braking systems. However, since we are keeping the engine thrust unchanged, we have made some aerodyn...
(MTOW) of 101 metric tonnes; and an optimised wing trailing-edge flap configuration to preserve the same take-off performance and engine thrust requirements as today’s A321neo. In particular, the new optimised RCT holds more fuel than several optional Additional Centre Tanks (ACTs...
