range.

But... an aircraft designed for long range, is so efficient in short hops? You all know that higher range requires higher MTOW, so bigger engines, that in short hops will be running at a lower regime.

So maybe is logical, a replacement of A300 type, with lower MTOW, so smaller engines running at his designed regime, more efficient in short, but high demand routes...

Or maybe I'm speaking nonsense?

Any opininons?
