Auxiliary Tanks and Strengthened Landing Gear
From a technological standpoint, this machine represented an answer to the demands of airlines that needed to fly longer routes without having to deploy giant wide-body aircraft. Designers achieved this goal by installing auxiliary fuel tanks in the lower cargo hold. However, the increased fuel capacity also meant a much higher takeoff weight, so the aircraft had to receive significantly strengthened landing gear and updated, more powerful engine versions. Thanks to these modifications, it became the ideal workhorse for longer holiday and charter flights.
