NEW AIRCRAFT? - Airbus A320 Future

The Airbus A320 is one of the most popular aircraft available, but what does its future hold and how will Airbus maintain interest in the popular single-aisle and ensure a plane of its stature keeps flying into the 2060s and 2070s.

I think that for the medium term, an Airbus 320 with a new (composite) wing and a new generation of engines will probably offer an economic improvement that will meet airline requests. In the short term, Airbus will probably try to reach a production of 75 units/month and will also try to complement its portfolio with an A220-500, which will kill the A319

A320 family is absolutely a resounding commercial success for Airbus. Given its engineering excellence and versatility, this aircraft family has become the backbone of lots of major airlines. On top of that, the a320 will need to pounce on the tainted reputation of the troublesome 737 max program amid booming demand for democratized air travel.

i like the more comfortable ride, like the three degree turn rate standard, and drinks cannot be spilled from an open cup

The Airbus a321 XLR is popular with airlines, but it would have been better for Airbus to put a bigger wing to carry more fuel than a center fuel tank, since the aircraft could have more cargo capacity. Also having a wider wing span could help with takeoff performance. Most runways do not have that problem. The Boeing 757 can takeoff from shorter runways not because it has more powerful engines but also a bigger wing span. There are some airports such as Vagar Airport in the Faroe Islands that extending the current runway is impractical due to the runway being on top of a plateau and not enough area left to extend the runway. Also the the a321 could have extended the cabin length to have more seating capacity. That might have cost more upfront, but the certification process might have been less strenuous than what Airbus had chosen.

Unless the tube is replaced by a differing configuration then the only fundamental improvement by an air framer could be in offering a CF wing replacing the current wing. Lighter and with significantly higher aspect it could provide a substantial improvement. The slight issue is that it will be very costly, the A220 wing is an expensive product to produce for Spirit

First, great to hear more about the A320 family! Love the videos Dj

7:39 I've been on that airline before I'm mexican

[lissa]

I loved the A320, it's so smooth and felt the seats were actually quite spacious

[smoketinytom]

Reckon there will applications of the 777X series on smaller jets, like the folding wing tips, lighter materials spreading to the design as it's now a mature technology and technique with the addition of new engines and fuels.

[mattgrey]

With a new wing and next gen engines the 320neo/321neo would continue to dominate the market.

Great aircraft.

[Dobuan]

Though unlikely/impossible I’d love to see Boeing “NEO” its B-757, & Airbus build a clean-sheet A360 to match the 777X.
That should keep competition healthier.

[sugarkillsall]

Hydrogen. It requires 3kw of energy to produce 1kw for jet use. And all hydrogen is extremly explosive...

[jantjarks]

There's too much demand for planes. Even with the most optimistic targets Airbus won't be able to fill the demand.

Boeing is and stays unable to deliver anything in time as retraining its workforce will take years.

It's a mess. Hopefully Embraer can find the necessary funds to design its own single aisle competitor.

[Sacto]

The the A320 will get a new wing and possibly a new high-bypass jet engine based on the new gear-turbofan technology Rolls-Royce developed by around 2030.

They need to open a production plant in India! They have the land and resources and people to do it!
