          While
            the A300 was under development, a smaller capacity variant was
            considered.  The A310 was officially launched in 1978
            and the prototype first flew in 1982.  The fuselage is
            essentially the same as the A300 except considerably shorter. 
            The wing and horizontal tail surfaces are new, including a high-tech
            wing from BAe of reduced area and span. |
