The Airbus A320 Family

This book tells the story of the A320 from its evolution, design, development and construction up to its entry into service. It describes the growth of the A320 Family through the development of the A318, A319 and A321 and the subsequent enhancement programme, which resulted in the A320neo (new engine option) Family of aircraft (the previous generation became retrospectively renamed the A320ceo (current engine option) Family). It explains the aircraft’s structure, systems and engines and provides an overview of the A320ceo and A320neo Families in commercial service.
