About the History of Airbus A350 Freighter

An A350-900 freighter was first mentioned in 2007, offering a similar capacity to the MD-11F with a range of 9,250 km (5,000 nmi; 5,750 mi), to be developed after the passenger version.In early 2020, Airbus was proposing an A350F before a potential launch.The proposed freighter would be slightly longer than the A350-900 and Airbus would need 50 orders to launch the $2–3 billion programme.In July 2021, the Airbus board approved the freighter development.It is based on the -1000 version for a payload over 90 tonnes, and entry into service is targeted for 2025.
The A350F would keep the A350-1000 319 t MTOW, shortened but still 6.9 m (23 ft) longer than the Boeing 777F for 10% larger freight volume at 695 m3 (24,500 cu ft) compared to 633 m3 (22,400 cu ft) for the 777F, similar to the Boeing 747-8F.With a maindeck cargo door behind the wing and reinforced main deck aluminum floor beams, its 111 t (245,000 lb) payload is higher than the 103.7 t (229,000 lb) of the 777F, while its empty weight is 30 t (66,000 lb) lighter than the A350-1000, 20 t (44,000 lb) lighter than the 777F.At the November 2021 Dubai Air Show, US lessor Air Lease Corporation became the launch customer with an order for seven to be delivered around 2026, among other Airbus airliners.The launch operator of the A350F will be Singapore Airlines, who ordered 7 aircraft at the 2022 Singapore Airshow,with deliveries to start in 2026.The 70.8 m (232 ft) long cargo variant should have a 4,700 nmi (8,700 km; 5,400 mi) range at max payload.By May 2023, planned entry-into-service slipped to 2026.
