The Airbus A350-1000ULR is the longest-range commercial twin-engine aircraft ever built.
The A350-1000ULR adds a permanent 20,000-liter rear center fuel tank for nearly 10,000 NM range.
KEY POINTS
- Qantas's A350-1000ULR will feature just 238 seats, including both first class and economy offerings.
- Reinforced landing gear and taller blended winglets optimize the aircraft for ultra-long-range, heavier takeoff loads.
- The A350-1000ULR's rear center tank design echoes the A321XLR's integrated internal tank concept.
- Qantas plans to begin Project Sunrise A350-1000ULR flights in spring 2027 after October 2026 delivery.
