Why it branches from the family
The One-Eleven 500 is treated as the representative branch because it captures the stretched late branch that best represents the family’s mature airline service.
Variant pages stay intentionally narrower than the family page so differences in cabin, engines, mission, and market role remain clear without duplicating the full program history.
