====A330-200F==== [[File:Airbus A330-200F Turkish AL (THY) F-WWCB - MSN 1418 - Named Trakya - Will be TC-JDS (9743170846) (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|The bulge under the A330-200F nose corrects the inherent nose-down attitude of passenger versions.<ref name="Blister fair" />]] The A330-200F is an all-cargo derivative of the A330-200 capable of carrying {{cvt|65|t|lb|sigfig=2}} over {{cvt|7400|km|nmi mi|sigfig=2}} or {{cvt|70|t|lb|sigfig=2}} up to {{cvt|5900|km|nmi mi|sigfig=2}}.<ref name=":A330-200F range" /> To overcome the standard A330's nose-down body angle on the ground, the A330F uses a revised nose undercarriage layout to provide a level deck during cargo loading. The normal A330-200 undercarriage is used, but its attachment points are lower in the fuselage, thus requiring a distinctive blister fairing on the nose to accommodate the retracted nose gear.<ref name="Blister fair" /> Power is provided by two Pratt & Whitney PW4000 or Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines. General Electric does not offer an engine for the A330-200F.<ref>{{Cite news |title=GE drops A330-200F plan and opens door to P&W |work=Flightglobal |date=15 June 2007 |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/06/15/214692/ge-drops-a330-200f-plan-and-opens-door-to-pw.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071023215207/http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/06/15/214692/ge-drops-a330-200f-plan-and-opens-door-to-pw.html |archive-date=23 October 2007 |access-date=10 November 2010}}</ref> And unlike the passenger variant, the A330-200F does not offer a centre tank as a standard equipment in order to save the weight of the inerting system, reducing fuel capacity by 41,560 litres. However, it is still offered as an optional equipment per customer needs.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/airbuss-general-freight-hauler-a330-200f-technical-description/93631.article |title=Airbus's general freight hauler: A330-200F technical description }}</ref> {{As of|2020|12|post=,}} Airbus had delivered 38 aircraft with no outstanding orders.<ref name="Airbus_O_D" /> The list price is $241.7 million.<ref name=Airbus_prices /> As well as new-build freighters, Airbus has proposed passenger-to-freighter conversions of existing β200 airliners.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/07/21/344898/farnborough-qatar-fires-warning-shot-at-airbus-over-a330.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100724055533/http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/07/21/344898/farnborough-qatar-fires-warning-shot-at-airbus-over-a330.html|archive-date=24 July 2010|date=21 July 2010|title=Farnborough: Qatar fires warning shot at Airbus over A330 conversions|first=Max|last=Kingsley-Jones|work=Flight Daily News}}</ref> The A330-200F is sized between the [[Boeing 767|767-300F]] and [[Boeing 777|777F]],<ref name="FI_A330-200F_specs">{{cite web |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/airbuss-general-freight-hauler-a330-200f-technical-342231/ |first=Max|last=Kingsley-Jones |title=Airbus's general freight hauler: A330-200F technical description |work=Flightglobal |date=20 May 2010 |access-date=7 October 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.topspeed.com/aviation/aviation-reviews/boeing/1995-2010-boeing-767-300f-ar87421.html |first=Julia |last=Baciu |title=1995β2010 Boeing 767-300F |work=topspeed.com |date=4 June 2010 |access-date=11 December 2011}}</ref> but trails both Boeing models in orders and deliveries.<ref name="777_O_D_summ">{{cite web |url=http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/displaystandardreport.cfm?cboCurrentModel=777&optReportType=AllModels&cboAllModel=777&ViewReportF=View+Report |title=777 Model Orders and Deliveries summary |work=Boeing |date=September 2014 |access-date=6 October 2014 |archive-date=31 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151031013801/http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/displaystandardreport.cfm?cboCurrentModel=777&optReportType=AllModels&cboAllModel=777&ViewReportF=View+Report |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="767_O_D_summ">{{cite web |url= http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/displaystandardreport.cfm?cboCurrentModel=767&optReportType=AllModels&cboAllModel=767&ViewReportF=View+Report |title= 767 Model Orders and Deliveries summary |publisher= Boeing |date= September 2014 |access-date= 4 October 2013 |archive-date= 31 December 2015 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20151231204821/http://active.boeing.com/commercial/orders/displaystandardreport.cfm?cboCurrentModel=767&optReportType=AllModels&cboAllModel=767&ViewReportF=View+Report |url-status= dead }}</ref>
