I'm not sure what that means.

I'm SURE she didn't mean small flight envelope.

I think she meant it can be flown inside a standard #10 envelope. Frankly
I've never gotten anything bigger than a housefly to fly in a #10 envelope,
so Airbus has a lot to be proud of. (I doubt that technology has advanced
enough to allow flight in a #6 envelope.)
