Has anyone experimented into what plane is the longest range two way aircraft in the game?

Longest round trip is limited to aircraft speed, turn time and max range of the aircraft. I haven't experimented with it, but I would have to guess the A310-2 or the A3006R would probably be close. They have a shorter turn time and are close on the speeds.


:airplane Last round I had 2 A340-500's that were maxed on hours on a single one way trip. Those were the days. :P

According to my calculation (don't own any long range ac) the farthest flying plane is the A330-200 @ 4,770nm, the A330-300 comes in 2nd @ 4,661nm (the A340-500 is very close with 4,617nm range)*

*note these calculations use the engine that I would purchase, may not be the same numbers you get.

Edit:
Actually, on a second look it appears the a310 can fly 4820nm and the A300R can fly 4800nm, I didn't take those into account before as they are not planes I have looked at buying.

its the a330-200 :P with the fastest engines with the 300 trailing behind by about 50-100 nm

an a330-200 will do 4700nm anyways maybe even a bit more

With a speed of 478 kts and a time to turn of 65 minutes, this should be correct:

22:00 each day
divide by two because of round trip: 11:00
Subtract time to turn: 09:55
convert to hours: 9.9166666...
multiply by speed: 4740 nm (rounded down)

This is for the configuration I'm selling on the public market.

lol, I already had the A330s worked out even when 1-ways worked. This eventually led one of my old routes with a strong hub exceed the 1mill dop mark (by Travelhouse).

If one is deperate to fly a 4800nm+ route, the A310 is the only way...

A good landing is one you walk out of...
...an exelent landing is one where you can use the aircraft again ;)
