777-200lr questions
ladies, gentlemen, a couple of questions from an airliner enthusiest if you wouldn't mind... living near klax i see that emirates operates their 772lr's on nonstop routes from dubai.
is this leg flown on a polar route or just very high latitudes? what nautical milage is that trip and is it well within the maximum range of the aircraft? what would the fuel load have to be if carrying max pax/cargo taking into account also contingency and divert fuel requirements? did boeing make the 772lr with horizontal stab fuel tanks or any other aux tanks to increase range? if so, where is the additional fuel held?
thank you for your time and please excuse me if this topic has been asked previously.
kind regards,
