The Airbus A320 Family
Airbus X builds on the popularity and success of the Airbus A320 family. Commercial passenger jet airliners in the Airbus A320 family include the A318, A319, A320 and A321, and the ACJ business jet.
The A320 was the first member of the family, flying for the first time in 1987. The A320 family was soon extended to include the A321, the A319, and the A318, first delivered in 1994, 1996 and 2003, respectively. In 2010, Airbus launched A320neo "New Engine Option", a new generation of the A320 family. To date, about 5,200 Airbus A320 family aircraft are in service. The A320 family was the first group of commercial aircrafts to use digital fly-by-wire flight control systems and side-stick controls.
Don't forget... We have a huge selection (over 24,000 files) of free mods and add-ons for MSFS, FSX, P3D & X-Plane in the file library. Files include aircraft, scenery, and utilities All are free-to-download and use - you don't even need to register. Browse on down to the file library here.
