New A321XLR is Now Available in Aircraft DLC as Free Update!

We're adding the brand new A321XLR to Aerofly FS Flight Simulator!

The Airbus A321XLR is the extra-long-range version of the A321neo with a reinforced landing gear for a higher maximum takeoff weight of 101 tons, a capacity of around 220 passengers, and a built-in rear center tank for more fuel capacity and a range of up to 4,700 NM or 8,700 km. The A321XLR has been in service since October 2024 and flies on transcontinental and some intercontinental routes. The A321-253NY is powered by two CFM LEAP-1A33B2X turbofan engines with 143.5 kN of thrust, and the A321-271NY has two PW1133GAR-JM geared turbofan engines, each with 147.3 kN of thrust.
