Airbus A350-1041, operated by Etihad Airways as A6-XWB. The aircraft was built during Etihad's original A350 acquisition program but remained stored for an extended period while the airline restructured its fleet and network. Etihad eventually introduced the A350-1000 into commercial service in 2022, using the type on major long-haul routes from Abu Dhabi. Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines, A6-XWB combines high passenger capacity with long range and extensive composite construction. Its eventual entry into service symbolized Etihad's return to measured growth after years of restructuring and brought a new generation of efficient widebody aircraft into the carrier's fleet.
Known during development as the 747SB (short-body), the 747SP (special performance) was designed to meet a 1973 joint request from Pan American World Airways and Iran Air for a long-range, high-capacity airliner. The SP variant had a fuselage that was shortended by 47 feet while retaining the engines and fuel tank capacity, yeilding a higher speed and longer range than existing 747 variants. The 747SP first entered service with Pan Am in 1976 and in the years that followed, its record-setting range enabled Pan Am to offer the longest non-stop flights in the world, including New York - Tokyo, San Francisco - Hong Kong and Los Angeles - Sydney. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
