Airbus A350-941, reg.
9V-SHF, is the
35th
.A350 aircraft that left the factory in
2019 and
265th altogether for the
24 different airlines. Of that number,
246 aircraft are of the type
A350-941 and
19 of the type
A350-1041.
… …Singapore Airlines has three different cabin configurations on their fleet of, for the time being
34,
.A350-941aircraft:
… ..A350-900 (Standard) configuration (MTOW: 275.000 kg / 606.272 lb), cabin configuration:
C42 W24 Y187, which operates predominantly the long-haul flights from Singapore to destinations in Europe, the USA and South Africa. The aircraft is also used on selected flights to Australia, Japan and some shorter flights to Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Hong Kong.
… ..A350-900 Regional configuration (MTOW: 250.000 kg / 551.156 lb), cabin configuration:
C40 Y263, which operates short- and medium-haul flights from Singapore across the Asia-Pacific region. The first aircraft was delivered in November 2018, and entered service on 17. Dec 2018.

C67 W94, which operates ultra long-haul non-stop flights from Singapore to the USA in a 2-class configuration.
… …………IMG.1 – Singapore Airlines’ Airbus A350 aircraft by the cabin configurations (12. May 2019)……In the
Singapore Airlines’ fleet the
.A350-900 Regional aircraft come as the complement to their medium-haul fleet, with a somewhat smaller seating capacity (
C40 Y263), but capable, according to
SQ’s CEO, for a
little longer distances in the comparison with their
.787-10 aircraft with the cabin configuration
C36 Y301 and powered by two
.Trent 1000-J3, three-shaft, high-bypass, turbofan engines (fan diameter: 2.844,8 mm / 112,0 in; BPR: 10,0:1; eng. architecture: 1F–8IPC=6HPC
〨1HPT=1IPT–6LPT), OPR: 50,0:1, rated at 347,54 kN / 35.439 kgf / 78.129 lbf.
… …… …In the recent issue of the type-certificate data sheet (TCDS) of the
.A350 aircraft:
.TCDS.EASA.A.151 Issue 17, dated on 03. Apr 2019, it is visible
.(IMG.2) that the
.A350-941 model, besides with the
R-R Trent XWB-84, three-shaft, high-bypass turbofans, rated at 374,54 kN / 38.192 kgf / 84.200 lbf, has been also certified with the
.Trent XWB-75, three-shaft, high-bypass, turbofan engines (fan diameter: 2.997,2mm / 118,0 in; BPR: 9,6:1; engine architecture: 1F–8IPC=6HPC
〨1HPT=2IPT–6LPT), OPR: 50,0:1, rated at 330,06 kN / 33.657 kgf / 74.200 lbf, but Mod number
113768 has not been connected yet with any of the Weight Variant (WV) in this document -
.IMG.3.
… …...…...IMG.2 - Airbus A350-900 TCDS - Engines… …...…...IMG.3 - Airbus A350-900 TCDS - Maximum Certified Weights… …In the last
.A350 aircraft’s factory document -
A350. ACAaMP Issue: Nov 01/16 Rev: Jun 01/18, the Weight Variant
WV016 (MTOW: 278.000 kg / 612.885 lb) for the
Airbus A350-900 aircraft has not been mentioned yet, but the Weight Variant
WV017 (MTOW: 210.000 kg / 462.971 lb) is visible -
.IMG.4 …
… ……IMG.4 - Airbus A350-900 ACaMP - Maximum Certified Weights……... and quite possible it is the Weight VARIANT
WV017 (Mod number
113768) missing in the above mentioned document
.(IMG.3).
… ..…..…IMG.5 - Possible Mod number code (113768) related to Airbus A350-900 Maximum Certified Weight variant WV017……As I have mentioned it in my previous post; some sources have cited incorrectly the
Singapore Airlines’
.A350-900 Regional aircraft (MTOW: 250.000 kg / 551.156 lb) are powered by two
Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-75, three-shaft, high-bypass turbofans, rated at 330,06 kN / 33.657 kgf / 74.200 lbf. From the recent issue of the
CAAS Singapore Aircraft Register, as well as from the airline’s
website, it is visible that all the versions of
SQ’s
.A350-900 aircraft are powered by two
.Trent XWB-84, three-shaft, high-bypass turbofans (fan diameter: 2.997,2mm / 118,0 in; BPR: 9,6:1; engine architecture: 1F–8IPC=6HPC
〨1HPT=2IPT–6LPT), OPR: 50,0:1, rated at 374,54 kN / 38.192 kgf / 84.200 lbf. Besides, it is visible the recent (above linked) issue of the type-certificate data sheet (TCDS) of the
.A350 aircraft does not connect
Trent XWB-75 engine / mod
113768.(IMG.2) nor with one of the two Weight Variants (
WV005 and
WV012) which include MTOW of 250.00 kg / 551.156 lb
.(IMG.3). Two
e-mails I have received from the airline confirm that all the variants of the
Singapore Airlines’
Airbus A350-900 aircraft are fitted with the same type of engine,
.Trent XWB-84...
… …According to those relevant sources,
Japan Airlines is the first airline to operate derated
Airbus A350-900 frames;
WV017 (MTOW: 210.000 kg / 462.971 lb), aimed for those domestic routes (cabin configuration
F12 C94 Y263). It seems quite possible, and there are clear indications about it, the aircraft, since it will be powered by
.Trent XWB-75, three-shaft, high-bypass turbofans (fan diameter: 2.997,2mm / 118,0 in; BPR: 9,6:1; engine architecture: 1F–8IPC=6HPC
〨1HPT=2IPT–6LPT), OPR: 50,0:1, rated at 330,06 kN / 33.657 kgf / 74.200 lbf, will be certified as the model
Airbus A350-942, rather than as the existing
Airbus A350-941 powered by two
Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-84, three-shaft, high-bypass turbofans, rated at 374,54 kN / 38.192 kgf / 84.200 lbf.
… …It means soon we might see a new model label in the
.A350 aircraft’s
TCDS, related to different type of the engines fitted to the
Airbus A350-900 aircraft of the Weight VARIANT
WV017 / Mod number
113768 (MTOW: 210.000 kg / 462.971 lb). Something like this…
………IMG.6 - Possible Airbus A350-900 Type Label changes related to the engine model…… ...and if those
SQ’s
Airbus A350-900 Regional aircraft were indeed powered by the
R-R Trent XWB-75 engines, maybe we might have already seen them being labeled as the
.A350-942. Possible reason why we haven't maybe lies in the fact that, while the
JL’s
A350s for domestic routes will have MTOW of 210.000 kg / 462.971 lb, those
SQ’s
A350-900 Regionals have noticeably higher MTOW of 250.000 kg / 551.156 lb...
……The first of the four new
SQ’s
.A380-844plus (MTOW: 578.000 kg / 1.274.272 lb) aircraft, with the single-class cabin configuration
Y747 and powered by four
.Trent XWB-84, three-shaft, high-bypass, turbofan engines (fan diameter: 2.997,2mm / 118,0 in; BPR: 9,6:1; engine architecture: 1F–8IPC=6HPC
〨1HPT=2IPT–6LPT), OPR: 50,0:1, each rated at 374,54 kN / 38.192 kgf / 84.200, is expected to join the fleet in the August 2019. The aircraft will be cerftified by
EASA’s regional office in Singapore (opened on 11. Oct 2017) by the end of June, so far geting the principle approval of the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC), Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the Russian Federal Agency for Air Transport (Rosaviatsiya) and The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in Australia.
…… …IMG.7 - Airbus A380-800 TCDS - Models and Engines……The model
.A380-844plus, jointly developed by
Singapore Airlines, one of the
Airbus A380’s launch customer and the first operator, the
Airbus SE and
Rolls-Royce Singapore Pte. Ltd. comes as the part of the project named
The Angels’ Wings for the Youth of the World. The project was created in cooperation of
International Youth Foundation,
The Government of Singapore and
Singapore Airlines, with the idea of connecting young people living in the different parts of the
Earth, with the idea of instilling into them, at the time of their growing up and maturing, the feeling of appreciation, respect and familiarity with the different nations, their culture, tradition, history and lifestyle. To create a numerous friendships and connections between them for a lifetime. To help them become esteemed, influential and respected members of the society, capable of inception some other, different and better place to live ... the better world ... The Whole New
World.
……… and wouldn’t it be an exceptional and quite unusual project?
