dark light

First A340-600 private jet

You could hardly class an A346 as a private jet, but this beauty is destined for one lucky person/royal family.

The A340-600 has an incredible range with a normal passenger fit. I wonder what it is with a (possibly) lighter exec fit?

See
http://www.content.airbusworld.com/SITES/Technical_Data/docs/AC/DATA_CONSULT/AC_A340-500-600.pdf
page 54.

I also wonder if they have fitted more fuel tanks in the freight bays? What would it’s range be then?

Can the MTOW line be extrapolated down through the fuel volume limited part?

A silly ammount of Nautical Miles, thats for sure!

Mind you, VIP jets aren’t always lighter than PAX jets. PArticularly the big one.
The owners install so much bling and then usualy cart a car or two along with them all the time.
