During the last few years, more and more narrow-body aircraft with extreme range capabilities have appeared. In June 2022 Airbus did the first test-flight with its A321XLR which will have a range of over 4700 nautical miles. So why is this happening? Are Narrow-body's the future of long haul aviation because of its higher efficiency? As expected, its a very complicated story which I will explain to you in todays video.
Enjoy!
