The A320 was the first airliner with a joystick instead of a complete yoke, Airbus named this project: 'FlyByWire' Airbus then expended the 'FlyByWire' to all other Airbus Airliners.'Back to the Taxpayers' - Where you send a wrecked aircraft.īag Season - Cold weather or water conditions which require the wearing of anti-exposure gear which is very restrictive, uncomfortable and unpopularīall - An amber visual landing aid that the pilot uses to adjust aircaft relative position to a desired final approach glideslope.The Airbus Corporate Jets are business jet versions. The A320 is 37.6 m (123 ft) long and can accommodate 150 to 186 passengers. The 31.4 m (103 ft) long A318 typically accommodates 107 to 132 passengers. The family pioneered the use of digital fly-by-wire and side-stick flight controls in airliners. The twinjet has a six-abreast cross-section and is powered by either CFM56 or IAE V2500 turbofans, except the CFM56/PW6000 powered A318. Final assembly takes place in Toulouse in France Hamburg in Germany Tianjin in China since 2009 and in Mobile, Alabama in the United States since April 2016. 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). The A320 was launched in March 1984, first flew on 22 February 1987, and was introduced in April 1988 by Air France. The Airbus A320 family are narrow-body airliners designed and produced by Airbus.
