Airbus A-300 – Salon Scheme, Modifications

May 28, 1969. France and West Germany decided to create together with Hawker Siddeley European Airbus. Design began in September 1969., and in December 1970. Airbus Industrie A300 was ready for the Airbus Industrie A300. As a power plant, a General Electric CF6 turbofan engine was selected, but it could be replaced by a different engine of the same class on serial machines. Layout options for a passenger cabin inside the fuselage of the circular cross section provided for accommodation from 220 to 336 passengers. Contemporary wing with a complete set of mechanization was designed by Hawker Siddeley. The first two aircraft received the designation A300B1, and one of them (F-Wuab) made the first flight on October 28, 1972., And the second – February 5, 1973. For them, two A300B2 aircraft were followed, intended for mass production. The first four cars passed long flight tests and March 15, 1974. Received European, and May 30, 1974. – American certificate.

Certified in March 1975. Regular operation began in May 1975. In the late 1980s. The Airbus Industrie consortium based on the A300B4 aircraft has begun to develop an improved A300-600 option for medium and high airlines. In 1997. Produced serial in 1974≈1984. In total, 189 aircraft of this modification were supplied (including cargo versions A300C4 and F4), by the beginning of 1996. In operation was 188.

A300-600

Concentrated Passenger Aircraft Developed by Airbus Industrie Consortium. Starting at the end of 1980. To create an A300-600 aircraft, the consortium in its design used the front and central fuselage section and the A300V2 / B4 aircraft wing, and the tail of the fuselage from the A310 aircraft. The crew cabin is the same as on the A310 aircraft. In order to ensure the required centering, the fuselage is elongated by 0.53 m, swells are installed at the end of the wing "washers".

The first experienced aircraft (with JT9D-7R4H1 engines) performed the first flight on July 8, 1983. In early March 1984. It was certified in France, and at the end of March the first airline was set by the airline "Saudi Erostez". In March 1985. Certification of an aircraft version with CF6-80C2 engines was completed. In September, its deliveries began; The first received Thai airlines "Tai Erueiz". Based on the A300-600 aircraft in 1988. A variant with an enlarged range of A300-600R. The aircraft is equipped with digital complexes of Avionics EFIS and ECAM, which are used on A310 aircraft. Produced serially in 1984-1991. A total of 35 aircraft of this modification were delivered, by the beginning of 1996. In operation was 35.

A300-600R

Concentrated Passenger Aircraft Developed by Airbus Industrie Consortium. The aircraft is a modification of the original A300-600 model with an enlarged range of flight. To its development, the AIRBUS Industrie consortium has begun in 1985. To increase the range of flight in a horizontal plumage, an additional fuel tank with a capacity of 6150 liters is located. With this tank and fuel pumping system, it is possible to control the aircraft balancing in flight (for the first time this system was used on the A310-300 aircraft). The first flight A300-600R aircraft (with Engines General Electric CF6-80C2A5) made December 9, 1987. In March 1988. His certification in Europe and the USA has been completed. The first aircraft was put at the end of April 1988. American Airlines American Airlines. At the end of September 1988. The first flight of the version with PRATT engines & Whitney; Deliveries began in November 1988. In March 1990. A300-600R aircraft equipped with General Electric engines was certified by FAA for compliance with ETOPS requirements for two-link main aircraft, according to which the aircraft can be performed within 180 minutes to a spare airfield with one operating engine.
