Twin engine aircraft have so much excess thrust. Derates can you be in order of 20+ percent in a lot of instances. You do not need to come close to firewall and a 77W at MTOW.

Jump to postOnly because it’s an A359 does everyone suddenly question if it can make it. At 280t and full fuel which is around 37t of payload at 135T DOw, 108.3t of usable fuel, 8t of reserve, 5.8/hr, you should be good for around 17:30 endurance, well over 300pax.

I was looking at the performance data, the MAX 9 has very similar operating performance of the 700's. I was surprised abut that. I’m not.

How is the payload of the A339neo versus the A359? I read that while the A339neo burns less fuel the A359 has higher payload capability for cargo.
