Airbus A320neo

A320neo

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.

Depending on the selected airline livery the aircraft it’s either an A320-251N with CFM LEAP-1A26 or an A320-271N with PW1127G-JM engines.

Key Features

Physics Simulation

These things are fully simulated in Aerofly FS:

  • Full multibody aircraft that bends under load
  • Natural gear compression and damping
  • Center of gravity shift from gear retraction
  • Thermodynamic engine simulation with individual components for compressor, burner, turbines, drive shafts, fan, reversers and nozzle
  • Simulated full authority digital engine controller (FADEC)
  • Cold and dark startup

Aerodynamics & Flight-Controls

Aerofly FS features a realistic aerodynamics simulation and this aircraft is no exception:

  • Native wing flex simulation
  • Independent simulation of slats, flaps and speedbrakes
