The benefits of these combined improvements deliver an 8% improvement in operating costs derived from a 15% improvement in fuel consumption and the ability to carry around 20 more passengers through a re-arrangement of the cabin. The enhancements include aerodynamic improvements, large winglets which Airbus refer to as Sharklets, larger luggage bins, new look cabin, weight savings and the choice of two new engine types the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G or the CFM International LEAP-1A. As part of the modernisation program started in 2006, Airbus has been working on the A320E (Enhanced) of which the New Engine Option is the last step. In an effort to keep improving their narrow-body workhorse, Airbus now has on offer the A320 NEO (New Engine Option) as opposed to the A320 CEO (Current Engine Option). вЂ¦.large winglets which Airbus refer to as SharkletsвЂ¦.ДЄirbus A320 Specs show a modernised A320.

As well as the benefits of a simplified control, system redundancy, weight-saving and safety, it is very simple to upgrade these systems and keep the aircraft advanced even after a decade or two. Each flight management computer had six processors arranged in three pairs. The early A320s were equipped with Intel 80186 and Motorola 68010 computer processors and in 1988 moved on to the Intel 80286. This makes the pilotвЂ™s job much easier with all the information in a central location.

Through the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS), which features a full glass cockpit, once again the first commercial airliner to be so equipped, the Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitor (ECAM) displays information on all aircraft systems. It is a computer-based technology that is designed to protect the aircraft through flight envelope protection by preventing pilots from being able to put the aircraft in configurations or attitudes that compromised flight safety. Fly by Wire goes beyond the mere control of flight surfaces. This system was already in use in some fighter jets, but this was the first time it was employed in a commercial airliner. This system of digitised flight control systems, allows the pilot to input to the control surfaces using a side control joystick, as opposed to the accepted quadrant method with a joystick or half wheel located in front of the pilot. In addition, they made a larger cargo door so that loading and unloading of luggage or cargo could be performed faster assisting with quick turnaround times at airports.ДЄs has been mentioned on previous pages, the A320 was the second commercial aircraft to use вЂњFly by WireвЂќ technology, after Concorde. With an outside cabin diameter of 3.95 metres (12 feet 11.5 inches), which stacks up well against the Boeing 737 at 3.8 Metres (12 feet 4 inches) or the Boeing 717 with 3.34 metres (10 feet 11.6 inches). To make the A320 more attractive to passengers, and therefore airlines, Airbus decided to make a wider cabin than their competitors.
