    The Airbus A320neo family is an incremental development of the A320 family of narrow-body airliners produced by Airbus.The A320neo family (neo being Greek for "new", as well as an acronym for "new engine option") is based on the enhanced variant of the previous generation A319, A320, and A321, which was then retrospectively renamed the A320ceo family (ceo being an acronym for "current engine ...

  3. Crosswind landing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosswind_landing

    Though, it is a sideslip but airplane actually doesn't slip in the direction of lower wing because of the crosswind pushing the airplane back on the desired track. This technique is not recommended by Airbus because the bank angle required to fly the steady sideslip is large and places the airplane close to the geometry and roll/rudder limits.

    The first derivative of the A320 was the Airbus A321, also known as the Stretched A320, A320-500 and A325. [9] [25] Its launch came on 24 November 1988 after commitments for 183 aircraft from 10 customers were secured. [9] [26] The aircraft was to be a minimally changed derivative, apart from minor wing modifications and the fuselage stretch ...

  5. Headwind and tailwind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headwind_and_tailwind

    The aircraft is said to have 7.5 knots of crosswind and 13 knots of headwind on runway 06, or 13 knots of tailwind on runway 24. Aircraft usually have maximum tailwind and crosswind components which they cannot exceed. If the wind is at eighty degrees or above it is said to be full-cross.

  6. Wingstrike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingstrike

    Wingstrike is contact between an aircraft's wing and the ground during takeoff or landing, most often as a complication of a crosswind landing.. Unexpected gusts of wind may cause an aircraft to roll to one side or the other during landing, whether they are performing a crosswind landing or not.

  8. Braking action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_action

    In Europe this differs from the above reference. Braking action reports in Europe are an indication/declaration of reduced friction on a runway due to runway contamination (see Landing performance, under the Runway Surface section) which may impact an aircraft's crosswind limits. European reports have nothing to do with stopping distances on a ...

    The 4,000th V2500 was delivered in August 2009 to the Brazilian flag carrier TAM and installed on the 4,000th Airbus A320 family aircraft, an A319. [9] In early 2012, the 5,000th V2500 engine was delivered to SilkAir, and IAE achieved 100 million flying hours. [ 7 ]
