The A350-900ULR is a range beast. Next, we want to know which private jets fly the longest too. Just for fun.
but it reduces the cargo loads,,means passengers carry less luggage
With the exception of custom built widebody private jets, it's the Bombardier Global Express 8000 with 8000 nmi
The ULR is basically just some software tweaks and greatly reduced capacity with only business and premium economy seating and less cargo capacity.
It should be the Bombardier Globemaster 7500
B777x -8 private jet
The A340-500 is quite impressive! Considering it's a quad jet and old already. If Airbus updated those engines and aerodynamics, its range will even be greater. ✈️
They did. They also got rid of two engines and called it A350-900ULR.
@@gteixeira That would only make sense if you'd refernce the A330neo. The A350 is a whole different plane...
It still blows my mind how far modern long haul airliners can fly.
A comparison between single aisle aircraft, for longest range, would be interesting. :)
What impresses me is before i thought small business jets like Gulfstreams, bombardiers and citations I thought those had a range like a medium haul not a range like ultra long haul flights and can fly higher than most airliners
I had the privilege of flying on Thai Airways A340-500 non-stop from BKK to JFK approximately 14yrs ago. 18hrs from takeoff to landing. It was a wonderful aircraft and I was sad to see them go away. A350 is a great plane, but having 4 engines was so much more reassuring flying over the Pacific.
That’s not 18 hours.
@@danbskyguy LOL...commenting on something you have no idea about...did you take that flight?
I'm still impressed by the fact that planes can get you anywhere in the world in 24 hours or less
Singapore airlines A350-900ULRs are all business and premium economy right? As such they have a less dense configuration BUT I think it is a fair comparison since they are in regular commercial operation and you can most certainly book a regular ticket on them.
The 787-9 currently flies nonstop on the AKL-JFK route [14,231 km]; no turbo boosters needed (i.e. ER, LR, ULR, XLR).
The A330-200 currently flies nonstop on the BNE-LAX route [11,546 km].
Wow the Airbus A340 500 was an impressive plane !
Airlines didn't seem to think so. Very few sold, those few fairly quickly went out of service. Proved to be a very inefficient aircraft and a fuel hog.
@@johniii8147 Its range is also exaggerated. Shorter than 777-200LR in practice.
@@elusive8200 Didn't matter. It was just very expensive to operate on the marginal routes it was used on at the time.
with add on (optional) auxiliary fuel tanks in the aft lower fuselage section of the B777-300 ER it'll be able to fly 8,330 miles (15,355 kms) - 10,693 miles (18,344 kms) non-stop . . . same can be said about the A340-600 HGW & A340-500 HGW as well . . .
Anything is possible, if only Fuel were cheap.
@@JSolisHD so true . . .
The Gulfstream G-650ER and it’s new successor the G800 and the Bombardier Global 7,000 &7,500 are also capable of extremely long ranges! 😊
The A350 ULR is amazing, what a beast.
Wow, that Emirates A340 in the thumbnail was a blast from the past 👏
You seem to make it an exception of the Airbus A350LR for trading payload against fuel. All aircrafts do the same trade-off, from the basic Cessna C-172 to all airliners in the history of aviation.
You are correct that all planes face that tradeoff, but I think the tradeoff is more overt on the a350ULR because they didn't change the MTOW, whereas they did when you compare the 777-200ER to the 777-200LR, a340-300 to a340-500, 747-400 to 747-400ER, etc.
Really good video.
Very useful
The A350-900 ultra long don't carry a full load in term of passengers to do Singapore to New York non-stop.
very impressive with the airbus range..with that being said..who would want to be in economy seat for at least 12-15 hours especially if the leg room isn't that decent depending on the airline of choice..we shall see what happens in the future with boeing, airbus and other mfr's..thank you for this informative video.
Yep rather have a layover
Interestingly, despite the standard A350-900 has a further range than 787-9, the longest commercial flights that stand behind Singapore Airlines' A350-900ULRs are actually held by Boeing 787-9s (Qantas' Perth to London flight, Melbourne to Dallas, and Air NZ's Auckland to New York, followed by Emirates' A380, then there are standard A350-900s)
I think its chiefly because the 787 is a smaller plane so it is easier to fill and it burns less fuel all together
There's rumor that Airbus tend to over-claim their aircraft ranges. A340-500 had shorter range than B777-200LR in practice and burns more fuel/passenger-mile. Not sure if it's the same about A350 vs B787.
Fascinating
A350-1000 for Project Sunrise must be mentioned.
I have the privilege to travel in one of those a350 ulr ....its a great aircraft non stop fly from Singapore to copenhagen
I love long nonstop flights. The longer the better….
Dude sitting next to nonstop crying baby for 17 hours staright: 💀
I get annoyed on a simple 6 hour flight to my home country
We need a aircraft to carry a full load of both passenger and freight to be a true long haul carrier.
Can't wait for the A350-1000ULR.
How about Qantas upcoming a350 1000URL
It’s actually just a regular one with an upped MTOW with a somewhat bigger fuel tank as very little is actually to be changed from the one everyone else gets
@@filledwithvariousknowledge2747 but those a350 1000s must be able to fly 21 hours straight
I am surprised the A350s being developed for Qantas' project sunrise didn't get a mention here. It's only going to be a landmark in engineering feat if it's made possible in the next couple of years.
Increased range means increased stress on the PAX....so seat size and configuration should be up to the task.
Another reason for me to love the A350
Eventually when Airbus comes out with the A350NEO, I would like to see how good the range is then. That for now still far off.
What about Airbus A350-1000?
The A350-1000 has a range of 16,100 km / 8,700 nautical miles 1,900 km / 1,025 nautical miles less than the A350-900ULR. The 1000 is longer and heavier than the 900ULR, which may be reason why it has a shorter range.
@@chillout1109It strangely among stretches has bigger range now with the upped MTOW compared to the regular -900. As far as I’m aware it was only previously seen with the 777-200 to -300 (non ER’s) but largely because the -300 used the fuel tank from the -200ER
Not quite an airliner, but the B-52 isn't all that far behind these (when not considering aerial refueling)
Correct me if I’m wrong but this exact video was made a few years ago wasn’t it? I mean also by Simple Flying
Can you make a video about an Airbus A330-300 HGW (High Gross Weight). Is that aircraft same as A330-300?
A340 with its four engines has an ultra long range for the type.
I miss the a340-600's
It's really strange than the medium planes have x2 more range than the biggest planes like 747 or 380!
What about the Airbus A330-800neo 251 ton variant it has a range of 8,150 nautical miles
What is the range of Airbus A321 XLR?
You forgot to mention the A350-1000 to be used for Project Sunrise.
project sun rise was 787-9 bro
@@darkassassin287 False! Qantas ordered the A350-1000
@@darkassassin287 yes they tested it using a 787-9 but they went with the A35K. Try looking it up, they even have seating
@@cjever6625 ahh ok bro thx
A330-800 has 8,150 NM!
@2:26 "Perth to london flight" But then you show a map that doesn't even have perth in its range
The best aircraft will be the A350-1000 in the Qantas Set Up
The A350-900 ULR of Singapore airlines has only business class and premium economy class seats onboard which makes its passenger capacity less than a normal A350 with 2 class configuration this reduces the number of passengers and their luggage, which is substituted by the extra fuel tank on board the aircraft
Still at max of its capacity.
But it serves perfectly for Singapore Airlines. I geuss Boeing could offer similar solution but with what aircraft? They was not able or did not want to do it.
Quite around the world if no passagers
Video Title: "Which Aircraft Have The [sic] Longest Range?"
The video narration immediately limits "aircraft" to commercial airliners. If the video title had simply named the correct category, the narration spelling out the limits could have been omitted.
The A350 in my opinion, is truly a great long haul plane. While the 787 is good but I perfer the a350. I haven’t flown in one, but I hope too soon. Anyways, great video simple flying!
787 and a350 don’t compete the a350 competes with the 777
Is Concorde returning to the skies
The A350 900 does not fly 8700nmi, that range is for the A350 1000 only
A350-1000 with 319t MTOW
He is using an A340 for Emirates in The thumbnail. Tjat hurts to look at
Well... the 777-8 private version has a 21920 km range
But it will never carry as many passengers and cargo as the commercial 777-8, so the BBJ easily flies further.
Airbus is just different, its levels to aviation boeing is playing catch up
I think you are playing the numbers so you won't play favorites and avoid legal troubles.
B777 - 200 LR IS THE BEST 👍😉
Clearly not
@@SwordQuake2It sold nearly twice as much as the A340-500
@@SwordQuake2 clearly is
Boeing should’ve built a 747-8IER
They would have but passenger demand wasn’t there
Oop
a350-900ulr have too much range they fly from singapore to new york
unfortunately you lost the oportunity to show the range on the world map with a ring. At leat I cannot see one. So video is onl 3 of 5 stars
I thought 777-200LR has the longest...
It does but the 777-8 will surpass it I believe
The A350 is only 700 miles more than its predecessor the A340-500 which was designed to fly Ulta long range with a full payload
make the same comparison video for private jets 🙏
This why Singapore never drop passenger
But air new Zealand few times drop passanger in fiji to save weight for range
you CANT FLY ON A 747SP ANYMORE or a 345
poor nz :(
As always, Airbus will always be NUMBER 1!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
First to comment 😅
So?
