Filling the tanks will mean hitting MTOW unless you drop the payload of passengers and baggage. For Singapore this is fine as they are going for a premium low density arrangement. <br /><br />PAL don't need to fill the extra tanks because the journey time is shorter. They can take a standard load and fly the distance while staying in the (presumably increased) MTOW. Effectively the ULR is the HGW with extra fuel tanksFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627719160178595437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505368605400567122.post-71540559027671215212015-11-30T13:02:30.490+00:002015-11-30T13:02:30.490+00:00Weight variants already show a 275t MTOW version w...Weight variants already show a 275t MTOW version with no extra tankage.

After all, I would suppose the HGW refers to the extra 12tons of fuel but then that is the ULR- I'm confused.<br />JCunknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604463374712761656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505368605400567122.post-51064138944279080632015-11-30T08:52:40.169+00:002015-11-30T08:52:40.169+00:00Seems to be not obvious what a A350-900 "HGW&...Seems to be not obvious what a A350-900 "HGW" will represent.<br />obviously not the ULR but the same 280t MTOW or just the 275t MTOW that can be found in the cert ?Uwenoreply@blogger.com
