Airbus A320 CEO
The Real Aircraft
The Airbus A320 is a single-aisle, twin-engine jetliner that pioneered fly-by-wire technology in commercial aviation. Since its introduction in 1988, the A320 family has become one of the most successful aircraft programs in history.
Key Specifications:
- Manufacturer: Airbus
- First Flight: February 22, 1987
- Introduction: March 28, 1988 (Air France)
- Type: Twin-engine narrow-body airliner
- Engines: 2× CFM56-5 or IAE V2500 (24,000-27,000 lbf)
- Cruise Speed: Mach 0.78 (840 km/h)
- Range: 6,100 km (3,300 nmi)
- Passengers: 150-180
The A320 was the first commercial aircraft to use digital fly-by-wire flight control as standard, allowing for flight envelope protection. This technology became standard across all modern Airbus types.
