The A318 carries up to 132 passengers and has a maximum range of 5,700 km (3,100 nmi). ", "Prices of New A320s Hardly Changed in 20 Years", "Type certificate data sheet No. Final assembly takes place in Toulouse in France; Hamburg in Germany; Tianjin in China since 2009; and in Mobile, Alabamain the United States si… [11] The Dash 200 had centre tank activated, increasing fuel capacity from 15,590 to 23,430 L (3,429 to 5,154 imp gal). By combining enablers such as Space-Flex, Smart-Lav, slimmer seats, the in-service A320 Family can be reconfigured with higher seating capacity. [11] Airbus considered a fuselage diameter of "the Boeing 707 and 727, or do something better" and settled on a wider cross-section with a 3.7 m (12 ft 2 in) internal width, compared to Boeing's 3.45 m (11 ft 4 in). [57], In 2007, Airbus introduced a new enhanced, quieter cabin with better luggage storage and a more modern look and feel, and a new galley reducing weight, increasing revenue space and improving ergonomics and design for food hygiene and recycling. The A320's flight deck is equipped with Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) with side-stick controllers. The Airbus A320 family are low-wing cantilever monoplanes with a conventional empennage with a single vertical stabilizer and rudder. This is more than any of the 2nd generation Boeing 737 aircraft could handle, and was only with the third generation that Boeing was able to offer a larger aircraft.In the MAX vs NEO debate, we can see that the A320neo offers 195 seats vs the 737 MAX 9 with 193. The A321 has outsold the 737-900 three to one, as the A321neo is again dominating the 737-9 MAX, to be joined by the 737-10 MAX.[81]. [29] They compete with the 737, 757, and 717. [15] At the time unproven, it was essentially a fan placed outside the engine nacelle, offering speed of a turbofan at turboprops economics; eventually, Airbus stuck with turbofans. [65], Airbus offers an avionics upgrade for older A320 aircraft, the In-Service Enhancement Package, to keep them updated. [50] The second type of winglet incorporated a more blended design and was designed by Winglet Technology, a company based in Wichita, Kansas. The first member of the family was followed by the longer A321 (first delivered in January 1994), the shorter A319 (April 1996), and the even shorter A318 (July 2003). [11] The group looked at three different variants, covering the 125- to 180-seat market, called SA1, SA2 and SA3. [47] [49], In 2006, Airbus tested three styles of winglet intended to counteract the wing's induced drag and wingtip vortices more effectively than the previous wingtip fence. [62] [33], Airbus began offering the new model from 22 May 1992, with the actual launch of the $275 million (€250 million) programme occurring on 10 June 1993;[31][11][8] the A319's first customer was ILFC, who signed for six aircraft. [3] [39], As Airbus targets a 60 monthly global production rate by mid-2019, the Tianjin line delivered 51 in 2016 and it could assemble six per month from four as it starts producing A320neos in 2017; 147 Airbus were delivered in 2016 in China, 20% of its production, mostly A320-family, a 47% market share as the country should become the world's largest market ahead of the US before 2027. When Airbus designed the Airbus A300 during the late 1960s and early 1970s, it envisaged a broad family of airliners with which to compete against Boeing and Douglas, two established US aerospace manufacturers. [66] Digital head-up displays are available. The 124-156 seats A319 is 33.8 m (111 ft) long. Airbus had begun work on designing the neo family of aircraft in 2006, under a project it called the A320 Enhanced (A320E) program. Airbus A320-200 (320) Airbus A320-200 (320) Blocking Seats for More Space On Board. The family pioneered the use of digital fly-by-wire and side-stick flight controls in airliners. Airbus has delivered 8,605 A320 family aircraft since their certification/first delivery in early 1988, with another 6,056 on firm order (as of 31 December 2018). The Airbus A320 family is massively popular across the globe, but we will be looking at the shortest and longest models of the four variants. [43] Production rates continue to rise, and Airbus aims to reach a production rate of 63 aircraft per month by 2021, which would result in the 10,000th delivery occurring early that year. The name "Airbus" at the time referred to a BEA requirement, rather than to the later international programme. Following a merger, "ACJ Analysis" Business & Commercial Aviation Magazine – July 2002, Page 44, impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aviation, Competition between Airbus and Boeing § Airbus A320 vs Boeing 737, Escadron de Transport, d'Entraînement et de Calibration, List of Airbus A320neo family orders and deliveries, List of accidents and incidents involving the Airbus A320 family, Pakistan International Airlines Flight 8303, "US Airways' final flight closes curtain on another major airline", "A320 has repaid faith of Airbus – and governments", "La transformation des modes d'action de l'État à travers l'histoire du programme Airbus", "AIRBUS AIRCRAFT 2018 AVERAGE LIST PRICES* (USD millions)", "A320 launch and first delivery of A300-600", "Air France: launch customer of the A320", "More than 80 orders for the planned A320", "How Is An Aircraft Built > Final Assembly And Tests", "Tianjin becomes eastern cousin of Toulouse", "Airbus inaugurates Hamburg's fourth A320 Family production line", "Airbus A320, A220 Evolution Considered As Mobile Expands", "Airbus inaugurates new A320 structure assembly line in Hamburg", "A320 family embarks on approach to 10,000 deliveries", "More aircraft production rate cuts coming? [71], The suppliers providing turbofan engines for the A320 series are CFM International with the CFM56, International Aero Engines offering its V2500, and Pratt & Whitney's PW6000 engines available only for the A318. Thanks to the new enhanced seating capacity of the A320 combined with innovative upgrade solutions, operators can now generate increased revenues from cabin space. The A319 is 3.73 m (12 ft 3 in) shorter than the A320. During the A320 development programme, Airbus considered propfan technology, backed by Lufthansa. By continuing to browse the site you are agreeing to our Seat Width: The distance between the inner sides of the armrests on a seat. The first design type to be tested was developed by Airbus and was based on work done by the AWIATOR programme. [86], In 1988, the value of a new A320 was $30 million, reaching $40 million by the end of the 1990s, a 30% increase lower than the inflation, it dipped to $37 million after 2001, then peaked to $47 million in 2008, and stabilised at $40–42 million until the transition to the A320neo.[87]. Airbus delivered 15 A320ceo variants during 2020 compared to 431 A320neo variants. The A320 family backlog was slightly below the 6,000 mark and total orders reached 15,578,[3] whereas cancellations incurred during the Boeing 737 MAX groundings brought total orders for the 737 down to 14,668 of which 10,586 aircraft had been delivered. [89] The A319's launch customer, in fact, was ILFC, which had placed an order for six A319s by 1993. [34] The engines were to be supplied from two Rolls-Royce BR715s, CFM56-9s, or the Pratt & Whitney PW6000s;[11][34] with the MTOW of 53.3 t (118,000 lb) for the smaller version and 58 t (128,000 lb) for the AE317, the thrust requirement were 77.9–84.6 kN (17,500–19,000 lbf) and 84.6–91.2 kN (19,000–20,500 lbf), respectively. Today all variants are available as corporate jets. [10] The programme was later transferred to Airbus, leading up to the creation of the Single-Aisle (SA) studies in 1980, led by former leader of JET programme, Derek Brown. [96], On 17 June 2015 ST Aerospace signed agreements with Airbus and EFW for a collaboration to launch the A320/A321 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion programme. In October 2020, the 500th A320 built in Tianjin, an A320neo, was delivered to China Southern, twelve years after the final assembly line start in 2008. With a versatile cabin that can be configured for a variety of seating options, the A320 usually seats 140 to 170 passengers and has a maximum capacity of up to 180 travellers. Looking at passenger numbers (in a one class configuration), we can see that the A320 has been very consistent with around 190 passengers right from the start. [77], By September 2018, there were 7,251 A320 family ceo aircraft in service versus 6,757 737NGs, while Airbus expected to deliver 3,174 A320neos compared with 2,999 Boeing 737 MAX through 2022. Also known as the A320M-7, it is a shortened, minimum-change version of the A320 with four frames fore of the wing and three frames aft of the wing removed. It should replace older converted Boeing 757s with 14 positions on the main deck and 10 on the lower, lifting up to 27.9 t (62,000 lb) over 4,300 km (2,300 nmi). The A320 airframe includes composite materials and aluminium alloys to save weight and reduce the total number of parts to decrease the maintenance costs. [11] The A321 fuselage is stretched by 6.93 metres (22 ft 9 in) with a 4.27 m (14 ft 0 in) front plug immediately forward of wing and a 2.67 m (8 ft 9 in) rear plug. Airbus claimed the 737-300 burns 35% more fuel and has a 16% higher operating cost per seat than the V2500-powered A320. View the Airbus A320-200 seat map configuration 1 (PDF) View the Airbus A320-200 seat map configuration 2 (PDF) The version of Spirit's A320 aircraft presented here flies in a one class configuration with 8 "Big Front" seats and 174 "Deluxe Leather" Economy Class seats. Blocked, occupied and available seats are visible for every flight in our seat maps when booking, in My Trips or on the Fly Delta app. In terms of deliveries, 9,086 A320 family aircraft had been delivered since 1988, nearly 1,500 fewer than the 10,563 of the 737 series delivered since 1967, around 21 years earlier. [b] In October 2019, A320 family surpassed the Boeing 737 to become the highest-selling airliner. [16], The UK, France and West Germany wanted the responsibility of final assembly and the associated duties, known as "work-share arguments". "[69], Early A320s used the Intel 80186 and Motorola 68010. [3] The closest Boeing competitor is the 737-800. [26] An additional $180 million (€175 million) was borrowed from European Investment Bank and private investors.[11]. [113], Aircraft of comparable role, configuration, and era, For the Airbus A320neo or New Engine Option variants, see, Final assembly in France (Toulouse), Germany (Hamburg), China (Tianjin), and the United States (Mobile, Alabama), At 30 September 2017, Airbus still list American Airlines and US Airways as separate operators. Seat Recline: The distance between a seat back in its full upright and full recline position. Although the members were all of Airbus' partners, they regarded the project as a separate collaboration from Airbus. [18]:50 The first A320 was delivered to Air France on 28 March 1988. The programme was called the AE31X, and covered the 95-seat AE316 and 115- to 125-seat AE317. [98] From the heat of the desert to icy Antarctic runways, or from short runway urban environments to remote high-altitude airports, the … [22], In the presence of then French Prime Minister Jacques Chirac and the Prince and Princess of Wales, the first A320 was rolled out of the final assembly line on 14 February 1987 and made its maiden flight on 22 February in 3 hours and 23 minutes from Toulouse. Airbus A320-200 (320) Airbus A321-200 (321) Airbus A330-200 (332) ... On this aircraft, through March 30, 2021, middle seats (typically seat “D”) will be blocked from selection for parties of 1-2. The A320 features an Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitor (ECAM) which gives the flight crew information about all the systems of the aircraft. Its closest Boeing competitors are the 737-900/900ER,[86] and the 757-200. Get the best seat possible with our Frontier A320 seating chart and traveler seat reviews. Airbus received 6,031 orders by March 2018 and delivered 318 by May 2018. The Economy Plus cabin is outfitted with 42 seats and Economy Class features 96 seats. [92][93] Upon resale, the aircraft can be reconfigured as a standard A319 by removing its extra tanks and corporate cabin outfit, thus maximising its resale value. In order to give you a better service Airbus uses cookies. Technically, the name "A320" only refers to the original mid-sized aircraft, but it is often informally used to indicate any of the A318/A319/A320/A321 family. The initial converted aircraft first flew on 22 January 2020, to be delivered to Vallair, and it secured EASA supplementary type certificate in February. The original family is renamed A320ceo, for current engine option. Alt text for the Airbus A320-214 (sharklet) seating configuration before retrofit. [16] They would measure 36.04 and 39.24 m (118 ft 3 in and 128 ft 9 in), respectively. The 107-seater was launched on 26 April 1999 with the options and orders count at 109 aircraft. The A320 was launched in March 1984, first flew on 22 February 1987, and was introduced in April 1988 by Air France. The second production line was located at Hamburg, which would also subsequently produce the smaller Airbus A319 and A318. [11][25] Its launch came on 24 November 1988 after commitments for 183 aircraft from 10 customers were secured. Its cargo hold can accommodate Unit Load Devices containers. Air France and British Airways have been the only operators to operate all four variants of the A320ceo family. To raise the A320’s capacity to 189 seats, Airbus has worked with airworthiness authorities to certify increased exit limits for the forward and aft doors on this version of the aircraft, taking advantage of exits that are significantly larger than the Type C requirements they were originally certified to. Airframes would be converted by Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH (EFW) in Dresden, Germany, and Zhukovsky, Russia. Power is provided by the CFM56-5A or V2500-A5, derated to 98 kN (22,000 lbf), with option for 105 kN (24,000 lbf) thrust. However, on 3 June 2011, Airbus announced all partners would end the passenger to freighter programme, citing high demand for used airframes for passenger service. [111] The press and media later questioned the fly-by-wire flight control system, but subsequent investigations by commission of inquiry found "no malfunction of the aircraft or its equipment which could have contributed towards a reduction in safety or an increase in the crew's workload during the final flight phase ... the response of the engines was normal and in compliance with certification requirement. Air Arabia's A320 is a standard aircraft that can hold 174 passengers. [11] Anticipating further orders by Swissair and Alitalia, Airbus decided to launch the programme on 10 June 1993. Seat Pitch: The measure of legroom that refers to the space between a point on one seat and the same point on the seat in front of it. Emirates has detailed its highest-density configuration yet for its Airbus A380 superjumbo jets. [27] A total of 1,562 of the A321ceo model have been delivered, with 231 remaining on order as of 30 September 2017.[3]. The AE31X project was terminated by September 1998, after which Airbus officially announced an aircraft of its own, the A318,[11] at that year's Farnborough Airshow. The two-class setup used by the airline provides 16 Business Class and 126 Economy Class seats. In early 1998, Airbus revealed its considerations of designing a 100-seat aircraft based on the A320. In 2006, Airbus was studying a future replacement for the A320 series, tentatively dubbed NSR, for "New Short-Range aircraft". [104] The record was then improved by the successor, the A320neo family, with 1,420 orders and commitments in less than a year during the Dubai Airshow in November 2011. [64] Its tail assembly is made almost entirely of such composites by CASA, who also builds the elevators, main landing gear doors, and rear fuselage parts.[11]. [11] The single-aisle programme created divisions within Airbus about whether to design a shorter-range twinjet rather than a longer-range quadjet wanted by the West Germans, particularly Lufthansa. Optimised lavatory design providing more cabin length for more seats and improved seat recline for more comfort. The aircraft seats up to 39 passengers, but may be outfitted by the customers into any configuration. Of the planes currently in service, the passenger capacity ranges from 379 (4-class layout in Singapore Airlines) to 615 passengers (2-class layout in Emirates). [55] The winglets increase efficiency by decreasing lift-induced drag. The direct Boeing competitor is the Boeing 737-700. It is 4% more efficient than the CFM56, with cruise thrust specific fuel consumption for the -A5 at 0.574 and 0.596 lb/lbf/h (16.3 and 16.9 g/kN/s) for the CFM56-5A1. [46], In 2006, Airbus started the A320 Enhanced (A320E) programme as a series of improvements targeting a 4–5% efficiency gain with large winglets (2%), aerodynamic refinements (1%), weight savings and a new aircraft cabin. Well, for starters, we should examine the existing gaps in the Airbus lineup and consider what makes the most sense. Compared to other airliners of the same class, the A320 features a wider single-aisle cabin of 3.95 metres (156 in) outside diameter,[28] compared to 3.8 m (148 in) of the Boeing 737 or 757, and larger overhead bins. [70] In 1988, the flight management computer contained six Intel 80286 CPUs, running in three logical pairs, with 2.5 megabytes of memory. American Airlines is the world's largest airline operator of the A320 family of aircraft with 392 aircraft in service as of 30 September 2017.[3]. [32] Four propulsion options available on the A319 are the 23,040–24,800 lbf (102.5–110.3 kN) IAE V2500, or the 22,000–27,000 lbf (98–120 kN) CFM56. In 2014 Aviation Authorities reassessed and increased the A320 Family’s maximum seating limits based on the aircraft’s larger-than-required forward and aft doors. Because the four variants share the same flight deck, all have the same pilot type rating. [8] Its fuel capacity is increased to 30,030 L (7,930 US gal) and its maximum takeoff weight to 93,000 kg (205,000 lb). All following Airbuses have similar human/machine interface and systems control philosophy to facilitate cross-type qualification with minimal training. The only analogue instruments were the radio-magnetic indicator and brake pressure indicator. Military version like A319 MPA also exists. Photo: Airbus. In December 2011, Airbus filed suit in the western district of Texas over Aviation Partners' claims of infringement of its patents on winglet design and construction which were granted in 1993. [16] The A321-100 entered service in January 1994 with Lufthansa. [8] A 10th variation, conceived in 1973, later the first to be constructed, was designated the A300B10. The A319 is the next derivative of the baseline A320. "[26], It has seen 50 incidents where several flight displays were lost. Costing $2 billion (€1.85 billion) to develop, aircraft production was to take place in China. After healthy sales of the A320/A321, Airbus re-focused on what was then known as the A320M-7, meaning A320 minus seven fuselage frames. The Airbus A318 is the smallest member of the Airbus A320 family. The first member of the family was followed by the longer A321 (first delivered in January 1994), the shorter A319 (April 1996), and the even shorter A318 (July 2003). Three variants are based on the previous A319, A320 and A321. The outcome of that, the A320neo, didn’t take its first flight until 2014, entering service with Lufthansa a decade later in 2016. Flying a Frontier Airbus A320 soon? [24], The first derivative of the A320 was the Airbus A321, also known as the Stretched A320, A320-500 and A325. [60] The flight crew controls the cabin through touchscreen displays.[61]. After the oil price rises of the 1970s, Airbus needed to minimise the trip fuel costs of the A320. Currently, the largest A320-family member, the A321, has a maximum seating capacity of 244. The launch customer AerCap signed a firm contract on 16 July 2008 to convert 30 of AerCap's passenger A320/A321s into A320/A321P2F (passenger to freighter).
