A new aircraft is being added to Aerofly FS, the Airbus A320neo! The A320neo (new engine option) is derived from the A320ceo (current engine option) but it differs in many aspects and has seen many improvements. We've gone to great lengths to integrate these real world changes into our Aerofly FS simulator aircraft as well, see the long list of differences below.
The Airbus A320neo is an upgrade to the successful A320 airliner with new engine options (neo) with lower emissions, lower fuel consumption and increased range. The maximum capacity of the A320neo is 195 passengers it has a range of 6500km or 3500NM. The A320-251N is powered by two CFM LEAP-1A26 engines with 120.6kN and the A320-271N has two geared turbofan PW1127G-JM engines with 120kN thrust each. The flight-deck has received small improvements but overall commonality to the existing A320 family was kept.
