The Airbus A320 is a narrow body commercial passenger jet manufactured by 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. The "A320 Enhanced" program aims to further improve the A320 family with longer range and better fuel economy.

Development of the A320 for FlightGear has been postponed for some time and is expected to resume by the beginning of 2011.

Variants

  • A320-111: Airbus A320-111 with CFM56 engines
  • A320-131: Airbus A320-131 with IAE2500 engines

Development status

Currently there are two variants of the A320 in existence: the original A320 model by Frédéric Bouvier and the new A320-family by Ampere and Skyop, available from the development thread.

A320E fork

On August 17, 2010, Skyop announced that the "winglets" version of the A320 with the new Airbus "sharklets," also known as the "A320E," would be forked from the main project and no longer maintained, in the interest of merging changes back into the original A320-family models by Ampere.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.
