Airbus A330
The A330 is Airbus's twin-engine wide-body for medium and long routes. It forms one family with the four-engine A340: both have a fuselage 18 ft 6 in wide, and the A330-300 and A340-300 are almost exactly the same length, with the same 197 ft 10 in wingspan in Airbus's planning data. The shorter A330-200 also comes as a freighter, the A330-200F. The A330neo models, the A330-800 and A330-900, keep those two fuselage lengths but have Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines and a new wing with sharklets spanning 210 ft. All are certified to 41,450 feet.
