The Aircraft
The A320-200 was based upon the concepts of the proven A300 and A310. The aircraft, just as it's predessors was made by the various Airbus partners, those being BAe (24%), Areospatiale (34%), Deutsche Airbus (35%), CASA (5%) and Belairbus (2%).
Both the A320-100 and -200 have the same dimensions but differ in fuel capacities, MTOW (max take off weight) and the -200 having wing fences. The engine choice remained the same, between CFM and IAE although both manufacturers had upgraded versions available for use on the -200. The first A320 made it first flight in February 1987 and the first aircraft were delivered to British Airways and Air France in March 1988. The A320 uses Airbus's unique sidestick controllers, fly by wire control systems and the now common "Glass Cockpit".
The CFM 56-5A1 engines produce 25,000lbs of thrust each and help carry up to 150 passengers mach .82 to a distance of 3,000 nautical miles.
