	Airbus A320 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Type certificate for the A320 is awarded by JAA on February 26, 1988.
		After entering the market in March of 1988 with Air France, the A320 family rapidly expanded: the 185-seat A321, launched in 1989; the 124-seat A319, launched in 1993; and the 107-seat A318, launched in 1999.
		In service the A320 family was praised by passengers as it has wider cabin and bigger overhead stowage bins compared to other airliners of the same class.

		The Airbus A320 is a short to medium range commercial passenger aircraft manufactured by Airbus.
		The A320 has given rise to a family of aircraft which share a common design but are a little smaller (the A319), a lot smaller (the A318), or a little larger (the A321).
		The lighter weight of the A318 gives it an operating range 10% greater than the A320, allowing it to serve some routes that the A320 would be unable to: London-Jerusalem and Singapore-Tokyo, for instance.

		The A320 entered service in 1988, providing a new level of cabin comfort and flexibility in the 150 seat category.
		Another development of the A320 aircraft family is the shortened-fuselage A319 derivative, which entered airline service in 1996 with Swissair, powered by CFM International CFM56 engines.
		The A319 is seven fuselage frames shorter than the basic A320, and seats 124 passengers in a typical two-class cabin layout.

		The A320 program was launched in March 1984, despite a downturn in airline aircraft purchases due to the recession of the 1980s.
		The fuselage of the basic A320 was lengthened with the addition of an eight-frame (4.26 meter/13.97 ft.) section forward of the wing, and a 5-frame (2.67 meter/8.75 ft.) section aft of the wing.

	Talk:Airbus A320 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tarquin, I can assure that A320 is not used to refer to the A318/A319/A320/A321 family so I am puzzled by your revert to a statement to that effect.
		The set of A320-derived Airbuses are called the A320 family not the A320.
		The Next-Generation Boeing 737 (-600 to -900) was the fastest plane to reach 1,500 orders, taking 6 years, compared to 13 years for the Airbus A320 and 16 years for the Boeing 727.

		When Airbus launched the A320 in 1984, it was strategically positioned as a rival of the Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas MD-80.
		In addition to a good launch timing, the success of the A320 was also aided by the implementation of a cabin that is seven and a half inches wider than other single-aisle aircraft.
		When the A320 was first introducted, it had to compete against the Boeing 737s that were already established in the field.

		The differences between the A120 and the A320 are somewhat greater than the previous models and I even found some of the features useful.
		The A320 is the first DVD player to incorporate DTS decoding and I must admit, I was curious how this decoder would perform, even though my receiver does DTS decoding and I didn't expect to actually use the player's internal decoder.
		The remote for the A320 is essentially the same as the A310 except most of the "uncovered" buttons now glow in the dark.

		That same month, an Airtours Airbus A320 carrying 152 passengers on a flight from Newcastle, in north-east England, to Spain was forced to make an emergency landing at Stansted Airport, 40 miles north of London, when part of an engine casing fell off during take-off.

	A320 Airbus nose wheel
		FYI - one of many of the reasons that FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) was developed for aircraft engines was because of all of the hot dog pilots that kept damaging engines by slamming the throttles open and burning them up (Also saves a lot of control cables which could break).
		I had a throttle cable break once with the prop in beta, fortunately I was taxiing in after landing.
		- I'm not familiar with the A320, but on some airplanes, the torque link, which connects the nose wheel steering mechanism to the lower part of the nose gear, is disconnected for towing the airplane.

		The A320 is perhaps best known as the first airliner to introduce a fly-by-wire flight control system - where control inputs from the pilot are transmitted to the flying surfaces by electronic signals rather than mechanical means.
		Also integral to the A320 is the advanced electronic flightdeck, with six fully integrated EFIS colour displays and innovative sidestick controllers rather than conventional control columns.
		Mid 2000 A320 family production was at a monthly rate of 22, to be increased to 30 units a month by the end of 2002.

	JetBlue landing problem may be attributed to A320 flaw - Avion - Aeronautica
		Airbus Industries acknowledged a potential malfunction in the Airbus A320 fleet's landing gear, but has declined further comment pending an NTSB probe into Wednesday's landing gear malfunction that forced an emergency landing for one of Jetblue's Airbus A320 aircraft at Los Angeles International.
		In a well-televised ordeal, the aircraft was shown circling, and initial television media broadcasts inaccurately reported the A320 was dumping fuel, a capability the aircraft does not have.
		According to the FAA, similar landing gear problems were experienced by a Jetblue Airbus A320 on Nov. 1, 2002, and a United Airlines A319 on Nov. 21, 2002.
