Scale 1:200
The special requirements of the geographically remote continent often require special solutions. Qantas was looking for an aircraft with which it could finally fly non-stop on its two most important long-haul routes of 16,000 and 17,000 kilometers from Sydney to New York and London. “Project Sunrise” is what Qantas called the project for which the Australian airline ordered a tailor-made aircraft from Airbus with the A350-1000 ULR (Ultra Long Range). For the signing of the contract, Airbus sent a prototype with the registration F-WMIL on a journey to Perth and Sydney. Instead of being otherwise designed for up to 429 passengers, the cabin of the A350-1000 in the ultra-long-haul version is only equipped for 238 passengers in four classes. Delivery of the first of the twelve units ordered is scheduled to start in 2025.
