Airbus A320 Family
The Airbus A320 Family is a single-aisle jetliner platform spanning the A318, A319, A320, and A321 designs and their original and new-engine generations. The original A320 first flew in 1987 and entered airline service in 1988, introducing full digital fly-by-wire flight controls to commercial air transport. Common cockpits and operating procedures tie the differently sized members together, while later variants expanded the platform from short-haul service to long-range narrow-body routes.
