Currently there are three variants of the A320 in existence: the original A320 model by Frédéric Bouvier, available from [[FlightGear and Git|GIT]]; the A320-family models by Ampere K. Hardraade, also available from [[FlightGear and Git|GIT]]; and the new "enhanced" A320 by [[User:Skyop|Skyop]], available from the [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9032 development thread].

===A320-winglets fork===
 
On August 17, 2010, Skyop announced that the "winglets" version of the A320 with the new Airbus "sharklets" would be forked from the main project and no longer maintained, in the interest of merging changes back into the original A320-family models by Ampere.  Currently, no developer has formally announced a takeover of the fork, although Malik Guest (''teh warlock'') and Nick I. (''nickyivyca'') have expressed interest.
 
===Merging into A320-family===
 
Currently, Skyop and Ampere are attempting to merge the new A320 into the original A320-family.  You can take a look at the latest developments at [http://gitorious.org/airbus-aircraft/a320 Gitorious].
