Airbus A320ceo Family

A320-214

The medium-range jet airliner Airbus A320 entered service in 1988. It is the first model of the A320 family, whose members differ in fuselage length mainly. The shortest family member is the A318, the longest is the A321. The A320 has a maximum take-off weight of 77,000 kg (170,000 lbs) and can carry a maximum of 180 passengers. The A320 was the first commercial airliner that used a digital fly-by-wire control system. The mechanical connection between the flight controls and control surfaces is replaced by a combination of sidesticks, flight control computers and actuators. The cockpit features digital instrument displays for all flight and engine data, analog instruments are provided as a backup only.

Depending on the repaint the A320 comes with Sharklets or wing-tip fences.

Airbus A321-211 and A321-231

The Airbus A321 is the second aircraft in the A320 series. It is about 7 metres longer than the A320 and, with a maximum takeoff mass (MTOW) of 93.5 tonnes, also about 15 tonnes heavier. The A321 can carry a maximum of 210 passengers over 5700km. Like all A320 models, the A321 has a modern glass cockpit and fly-by-wire controls.

Depending on the livery the A321 has with two different engine options: A321-211 with CFM56-5B3 (142kN) and the A321-231 with IAE V2533-A5 (140kN) engines as well as Sharklets or wing-tip fences.

A319-115 and A319-133

The Airbus A319 is the third aircraft in the A320 series with a shortened fuselage and maximum capacity of 156 passengers and a range of 7000 km. Like all A320 models, the A319 has a modern glass cockpit and fly-by-wire controls.

Depending on the livery the A319 has with two different engine options: A319-115 with CFM56-5B7 (120kN) and the A319-133 with IAE V2527-A5 (110kN) engines as well as Sharklets or wing-tip fences.
