The Airbus A310 is a medium to long-range twin-engine wide-body jet airliner that was developed as a shorter, derivatives version of the A300. First flown in 1982, the A310 became a successful aircraft in Airbus's lineup, bridging the gap between smaller narrow-body and larger wide-body aircraft. With typical two-class seating for 220 passengers, the aircraft features an underfloor capacity of 15 LD3s/3 pallets and a maximum takeoff weight ranging from 142t to 164t (313,100lb to 361,600lb). Powered by either CF6-80C2 or PW4000 engines, the A310 offers a range of 3,600 to 5,200 nautical miles. The real aircraft measures 46.66 m (153 ft 1 in) in length with a wingspan of 43.90 m (144 ft 0 in) and a height of 15.80 m (51 ft 10 in).
