A320 series has the most spacious fuselage in the single-aisle aircraft market, and this optimized fuselage section sets a new standard for cabin flexibility. By widening the seat, the maximum comfort is provided; For low-cost markets that need rapid turnover, wider channels are very important. In addition, the superior cabin size and shape can install a wide overhead luggage compartment, which is more convenient on the one hand and can also speed up passengers getting on and off. The cabin is comfortable and spacious, and it is the most popular 150-seat short-haul passenger plane at present. The wider fuselage also provides unparalleled freight capacity. The "double-bubble" fuselage section greatly improves the capacity of the cargo hold to load luggage and containers. A3 19, A320 and A32 1 are the only aircraft in this class that can provide container cargo loading systems. The system is compatible with the global standard wide-body aircraft loading system, thus reducing the ground service equipment and loading and unloading costs. The high reliability of this series of aircraft further improves the profitability and the ability to provide services for passengers. In addition, the fuel consumption, emissions and noise of A320 series are relatively low in the same class.
A3 19 Airbus 320 series includes four basic models: 150 A320, 186 A32 1, 107 A3 19. These four models have the same cockpit, the same flight operating procedures, the same cabin part and the same system. Pilots can fly the above four different passenger planes as long as they receive the same flight training. At the same time, this universal design also reduces the maintenance cost and the inventory of spare air materials, which greatly enhances the flexibility of airlines. In addition, the pilots of A320 series aircraft are all qualified for Airbus fly-by-wire control. Through simple differentiation training, you can easily transition to fly larger A330, A340 and A380 aircraft without a whole set of brand-new aircraft and level training. * * * The advantages of communication are also applicable to cabin attendants of A320 series aircraft. All models of A320 series have the level of ETOPS, and the operation standard of two engines and extended flight.
A32 1A320 series aircraft benefit from the unique advantages of Airbus interoperability. Airbus has introduced a series of enhanced aircraft systems to improve overall reliability and reduce maintenance and spare parts costs. These systems have now become the standard configuration of all newly ordered A320 series aircraft, including a new generation of cabin two-way communication data system, which includes a graphical touch screen for flight attendants to make plans and reduce training time; It also includes some new cockpit liquid crystal displays, which are lighter and clearer than cathode ray tube displays, but still display data in the same way, so as to reserve cockpit connections for pilots. In addition, several aircraft systems, including the power generation system, have also been reformed to reduce maintenance and spare parts costs.
Airbus also uses a dynamic capacity management system in this series of aircraft, which gives operators great flexibility in using suitable aircraft to meet specific route requirements. All A320 series aircraft have the same model class. Pilots can fly all A320 series aircraft by attending only one type of training course. Similarly, a team of mechanics can also maintain all aircraft. Due to Airbus's concept of serialized aircraft and its interoperability in operation, after a very short period of extra training, pilots can quickly switch from single-aisle aircraft to other larger long-range aircraft of Airbus.
Twin-engine A3 19, A320 and A32 1 aircraft can be equipped with CFM56 engine of CFM International Company or V2500 engine of International Aeroengine Company, while A3 18 can be equipped with CFM56 engine or PW6000 engine of Pratt & Whitney Company.
