The '''Airbus A320''' is a narrow body commercial passenger jet manufactured by [[Airbus|Airbus Industries]]. Designed for short- to medium- hauls, the aircraft was a pioneer of fly-by-wire technology and regularly competes with the [[Boeing 737]]. Variants of the A320 include the Airbus A318, the [[Airbus A319]], and the [[Airbus A321]]. [[Airbus A320E|The "A320 Enhanced" program]] aims to further improve the A320 family with longer range and better fuel economy. | The '''Airbus A320''' is a narrow body commercial passenger jet manufactured by [[Airbus|Airbus Industries]].

On August 17, 2010, Skyop announced that the "winglets" version of the A320 with the new Airbus "sharklets," also known as the [[Airbus A320E|"A320E,"]] would be forked from the main project and no longer maintained, in the interest of merging changes back into the original A320-family models by Ampere. Nick I. (''nickyivyca'') has taken over development of this version. | On August 17, 2010, Skyop announced that the "winglets" version of the A320 with the new Airbus "sharklets," also known as the [[Airbus A320E|"A320E,"]] would be forked from the main project and no longer maintained, in the interest of merging changes back into the original A320-family models by Ampere.
