Airbus A310 Family
The Airbus A310 is a shorter, longer-range widebody developed from the A300 with a new wing and a flight deck designed for two pilots. It helped establish Airbus's family-commonality strategy while expanding the use of composite structures and electronic systems. Passenger, converted-freighter, government-transport, and multi-role tanker variants have remained in service long after production ended.
