UCOK88 Its design offers 4,700 nmi (8,700 km; 5,400 mi) of range and features a new permanent rear centre tank (RCT) for more fuel, strengthened landing gear for a 101 t (223,000 lb) MTOW, and an optimised wing trailing-edge flap to preserve take-off performance. As the sharklets lowered take-off and landing speeds, the switch from a double-slotted to single-slotted inboard flap will reduce complexity, weight and drag. The RCT will hold 12,900 L (3,400 US gal) of fuel, the equivalent of four 3,121 L (824 US gal) current Additional Centre Tanks (ACTs), yet has a weight equivalent to a single ACT and takes up the cargo hold space of two; a forward ACT can also be fitted if necessary. Orders from several lessors and airlines were announced at the show, starting with Middle East Airlines, which ordered four A321XLRs, making it the launch airline customer. The revised design could be applied to other A321neo variants.|Entering his Senior Season in 2024
