Do we know which will be the first 242t with Rolls-Royce engines?

Air China and Hainan Airlines are also the 242t A330 customers.

Compare the flap track fairings which is shorter on the 242t variant. Thank you, jkkw, when you know where to look, it really stands out. |

Air China and Hainan Airlines are also the 242t A330 customers. Thanks. So now we know 4. 7 more to go.  Thank you, jkkw, when you know where to look, it really stands out. Indeed, it is shortened a bit. I believe this brings it one step closer to the neo configuration as well. What are the other aerodynamic improvements on the 242T? I think I vaguely remember something about slat optimisations, but not sure... |

Thanks K. Tried to look for differences in slat 1, but they are not noticeable to me.  |
