The A330-200 is ten fuselage frames shorter than the original −300, with a length of 58.82 m (193 ft 0 in). To compensate for the smaller moment arm of the shorter fuselage, the vertical stabiliser height of the -200 was increased by 104 cm (40.9 in).The −200’s wing was also modified structural strengthening of the wing allowed the maximum takeoff weight of the −200 to be increased to 229.8 tonnes (507,000 lb). “The A330-200 is a shortened, longer-range variant, which entered service in 1998 with Korean Air. It was targeted at the growing demand for high-capacity, medium-range, transcontinental trunk routes. Offering the same range and payload as the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 but with 25 per cent more fuel efficiency, the B9 was seen as a viable replacement for the DC-10 and the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar trijets. It was also considered as a medium-ranged successor to the A300.” The B9 was essentially a lengthened A300 with the same wing, coupled with the most powerful turbofan engines available. “In the mid-1970s, Airbus began development of the A300B9, a larger derivative of the A300, which would eventually become the A330. During these studies Airbus turned its focus back to the wide-body aircraft market, simultaneously working on both projects.” Pursuing this goal, studies began in the early 1970s into derivatives of the A300. Before introducing the A300, Airbus identified nine possible variations designated B1 through B9. A tenth variant, the A300B10, was conceived in 1973 and developed into the longer-range Airbus A310. Airbus then focused its efforts on single-aisle (SA) studies, conceiving a family of airliners later known as the Airbus A320 family, the first commercial aircraft with digital fly-by-wire controls. “Airbus’s first airliner, the A300, was envisioned as part of a diverse family of commercial aircraft. The A330 was Airbus’s first airliner that offered a choice of three engine types: General Electric CF6, Pratt & Whitney PW4000, and Rolls-Royce Trent 700.” In June 1987, after receiving orders from various customers, Airbus launched the A330 and A340. Both airliners incorporated fly-by-wire flight control technology, first introduced on an Airbus A320, as well as the A320’s six-display glass cockpit. The A330 was developed in parallel with the four-engine A340, which shared many common airframe components but differed in number of engines. The A330’s origin dates to the mid-1970s as one of several conceived derivatives of Airbus’s first airliner, the A300. Versions of the A330 have a range of 5,000 to 13,430 kilometres (2,700 to 7,250 nautical miles 3,110 to 8,350 miles) and can accommodate up to 335 passengers in a two-class layout or carry 70 tonnes (154,000 pounds) of cargo. – Descent, Approach, Final Approach and LandingĪccording to Wikipedia “The Airbus A330 is a medium- to long-range wide-body twin-engine jet airliner made by Airbus. – Preparations, Pushback, Engine Start and Taxi – Inspection | Tail and Cargo Compartments – Inspection | Slats, Flaps, Spoilers and MLG – BSS Trent 700 Sound Package Installation As mentioned above, it is to be expected that this will be a long review and to keep track of all what we have checked and tested, a ToC would be welcome. Evgeny continues “People who love and know the Airbus philosophy, who have at least the one of the A320 Family aircraft in their hangar but who love to fly and having the experience with bigger (or long range) aircraft models.”īut first, a ToC or Table of Contents. According to Evgeny “Until we have released – no release date available yet – the A340, we not have plans for the current JD330 3D model to modify it with other engines and/or the longer -300 Series.” Another important item Evgeny would like to share with you is their – JARDesign Group – philosophy of this modeled A330-200. I contacted Evgeny from JARDesign about their work on a A330-300 Series and the A340 Series. The modeled JARDesign JD330 is actually the A330-200 series that comes with Rolls Royce Trent 700 engines. The review covers the JARDesign JD330 version 3.3r1. Part I is this review that covers almost every aspect of the modeled aircraft including a comprehensive test flight in southern France while part II covers Bruce his in-depth US test flight with all kind of additional sections indirectly related to flight preparations and so on. The original lay-out as of this writing has become so big that Bruce and I have decided to split the review in a Part I and a Part II. All together, it will become a massive review and not only that, a review that offers all the ins and outs of the JARDesign model, we hope! Two people see more than one, two people can concentrate themselves on each with their own skills. For many reasons, I‘ve decided to do this review together with my fellow reviewer Bruce Knight. ![]()
