The Total Express train has an intercontinental autonomy (for example, of New York City with Tokyo) without supply or between two points of the world with a stopover.

Sentinel R1

The military version of the Total Express train is Sentinel R1 of the Royal Air Force. Sentinel carries Radar ASTOR (Airborne Stand-Off Radar) of Raytheon and has a surveillance mission, like of the United States Air Force. The plane was selected for its altitude with 51.000 feet. Because of the modifications made by the RAF, in particular due to the deflectors of the radar and the antennas, the altitude of cruising of Sentinel is reduced but in spite of very higher than that of the Boeing 707 which carries radar JSTARS. This altitude allows a broader area of monitoring.

Total Express train XRS is a version improved of the Total Express train, offering more raised cruising speed, an autonomy in progression, is a better drawn and lit cabin. Letters XRS would not have any significance other than to have been selected to improve the brand image. Autonomy was increased thanks to the contribution of a reserve of 674 kg kerosene at the point of fastener of the wings. Total the 5000 is a shorter version of Total Express train XRS.
