Personal Comments
This is mainly an improvement of an existing Singapore Airlines A350-900. Not to insult the original poster, realSavageMan, but the original livery wasn't very accurate and resembled SIA's livery from the 70s.
This choice was most likely made to reduce the part count but I still decided that I should still make a livery with more detail and accuracy, especially since there aren't many SIA aircraft on SimplePlanes.
Note that this isn't the final version of what I was initially planning; I'm going to make the A350F from this.
Anyway, happy flying I guess!
About the Singapore Airlines A350-900ULR
The A350-900ULR, as stated in the name, is an extended-range version of the base A350-900 model. Compared to the A350-900, the ULR has a higher MTOW and fuel capacity (164,000 liters, which I replicated in the model), made possible due to improved fuel tank design. The improvements allow the ULR to fly for up to 19 hours at a distance of 18,000km, 4 hours longer than the -900's maximum flight time.
Flying with SIA
Singapore Airlines is the launch and only operator of the ULR, possessing 7 of the aircraft. It received its first ULR, 9V-SGA(abbreviation can be expanded to mean SinGapore Airlines, nice touch!) on 22 September 2018.
SIA currently operates its ULRs to NYC, SF and LA. The route to NYC, in particular, is the longest in the world, spanning a whopping 9537mi (15,348km) and taking 18 hours and 45 minutes.
To ensure passengers' comfort on these lengthy flights, the ULRs only contain business and premium economy seats.
That's all I have. Once again, enjoy your (19 hour) flight!

To everyone that is wondering why the aircraft is imploding when spawned in the air. The reason is due to a bunch of loose parts floating around the cockpit. When spawned they smack into the back pf the cockpit and detonate the plane. Try to remove them. (They look like little black cubes). Hope this helps :)
(Btw from a fellow singaporean I love this plane, its the same one I flew on to japan)
whenever I spawn it in midair the plane just spontaneously combusts
How come when the airplane is in the air it explodes?
@YourLocalPerson i'm making a 727 right now, although I've added just a few more wings to it (you'll see)
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes
My phone can run the tropical livery just fine, I didn’t even know it existed! Thanks so much, and can you make a 707 or 727?
@YourLocalPerson it looks complicated but I'll consider it (also there's already an SIA tropical livery on the site but it's not mobile-friendly)
In the meantime I've made a 747-400 in the regular livery
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes
Can you make a 747-400 SIA 006? Please?
@teddyone02 ah ok
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes i removed the livery.
for some reason its messing something up the cockpit.
my phone can handle the plane with the livery but i want to play with it with only the cockpit and with no livery amd no interior
just full plain hehe
@teddyone02 LOL! But seriously, mobile version of SP really is limiting, which is why I had to convince my mum to fork out another S$5 to get the PC version. Anyway, I'll try removing the seats and seeing if it reduces the part count.
if i can try it, i would be the happiest 15 year old in the world.
The same thing as it was?
