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 with low operating costs. The
large fuselage diameter allows the aircraft to
carry industry standard LD3 cargo containers
side by side under floor.
A310 Airbus
versions include the basic A310-200, the longer
range A310-300 (introduced in 1985), a cargo
version (over 100 have been converted, Federal
Express converted 49 A310-200's to freighter.)
and the MRTT multi-role tanker transport, a
military tanker version which has been ordered
by the German Air Force (first delivery was in
December 2003). The Canadian Air Force is to
modify two of its five A310’s to the MRTT
configuration. |
