The A320 New Engine Option
Airbus’ A320 aircraft family – which is recognised worldwide as the benchmark single-aisle jetliner product line – will be even more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly with a new engine option now being offered to customers.
We are leveraging a reliable, mature aircraft and are making it even more efficient and environmentally friendly, said Tom Enders, Airbus President and CEO.
Designated the A320neo, this option provides the minimum change with maximum benefit for the best-selling A319, A320 and A321 through the availability of two new jet engine choices – CFM International’s LEAP-X and the PW1100G PurePower from Pratt & Whitney – along with the use of Airbus’ large Sharklets wing tip devices.
Improvements with the A320neo include a 15 per cent reduction in fuel consumption, two tonnes of additional payload, up to 500 nautical miles of more range, lower operating costs, along with reductions in engine noise and emissions.
In the first year after its launch in December 2010, some 1,420 orders and commitments had been booked for the A320neo, making it the fastest-selling commercial jetliner ever.
