Even when compared to recent 737s, you see that the A320 is more modern. Just compare what happens when "arm doors for departure is called" :
Airbus: Pull and stow stafety pin. Flip arming lever. Cross check and done.
Boeing: Kneel down and try to attach top end of slide to hooks in the floor. Stand up again and place indicator strap across door window. (That's vintage!) Cross check and done.

When an armed door is opened from outside on a 737... better jump out of the way. On the 320 it just disarms the slide (if someone is at door level, there's no need for a slide) and the door opens. The 320 family is my favorite narrowbody!

The fact that a320 came only 4 years after the 737 classics and still competes with 737ng just goes to show how advanced that aircraft was for that time
The fact that only thing Airbus had to change about that aircraft to make it modern in 2021 is the engines and the winglets shows just how impressive that aircraft is no cockpit modifications no MCAS no extra training

It’s so impressive this aircraft is like the original iPhone of the aviation world

This video has forgotten a very important fact, when the A320 has been introduced all other planes cockpit were a mess and looked like clockmakers with some digital instruments. The A320 featured a high automated, ergonomic glass cockpit with Flight Envelope Protection. This plane was a shock for Boeing and McD. The A320 introduced many firsts like carbon brakes, FBW etc..

The plane that made Airbus what it is today.

I'm an avid Airbus fan. And among it's aircraft models, the A320 family is my favourite.

Dude you're on to something with these series. I'd love to see a series of General Aviation manufactures/companies also! Great work!

I had the pleasure of flying in several A320 and A321 airplanes... I was in a business trip in Colombia and Avianca (Colombian main airline) is a regular operator of Airbus airplanes... I must say they are really good and comfortable... I enjoyed flying in the A321 more than in the competion 737-800 or 900.

I really like the research that you have done on the history of the A320. I had no idea so many were sold however I do know that the backlog is close to 6000 A320 family planes. I first flew on one in 1989 Air Canada and compare to the 737- 200 and 300 up to 500 that I had flown on before, the A320 was very modern and quiet aircraft. The A320 that landed in the Hudson is a testament of how well engineered it is, not a miracle, just well build.

As a ramp agent, the 320 has any NG beat, hands-down. Easy to stack and load bags, moving floor system, straightforward Power & Air connections. Not to mention the cabins are just easier to clean because they seem a little bit bigger. Only downside is too much netting in the cargo bins haha.

I wish I could see more about the AirBus family!!!

You know the narrator is a slav when he starts comparing things to the BMW range...
Great job through:P

[TheGamingAviator]

Flew on an a321 from jet blue, 5 hour trip. It was quiet and quite comfortable and the landing and takeoff were so smooth. It's a great aircraft 👍.

[ChrisZoomER]

The very first plane I ever flew was an A320, I've flown on the A320 another four times since then but I haven't flown an A320 since 2012, I've flown on the A321 several times since then though.

[smartthevote]

..and really appreciate the history you provide on the planes.

[elliotpowell]

No one has disliked. That is a sign of a great channel

[tusharkantisen]

Personally, afer having flown both 737 and A320 I can conclude that A320 is Quieter and a lot more smoother than its counterpart

[albomaa]

When the plane was taking off, the engines were at takeoff power (flex) but it sounded like it was at climb power (the NEO)
