Airbus A330-200F - Singapore Airshow 2010

The first A330-200F in the flight test campaign - MSN1004 - which took to the skies in November 2009 powered by Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines, has been successfully evaluating handling qualities, performance, as well as undertaking tests regarding the autopilot and autoland systems. MSN1004 has been on cold-weather testing in Canada and will also carry out hot-weather trials in the Far-East.

The new freighter is the latest addition to the A330 Family and will enter service later this year. The A330-200F can carry more than 69 tonnes of cargo on non-stop flights of 3,200 nautical miles. The aircraft features a versatile main-deck cargo loading system, which can accommodate both pallets and containers, enabling operators to serve the freight lift needs of varying markets.
