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 ...
The A320neo (neo for new engine option) is a development launched on 1 December 2010, making its first flight on 25 September 2014 and introduced by Lufthansa on 25 January 2016. Re-engined with CFM International LEAP-1A or Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engines and with large sharklets, it was designed to be 15% more fuel efficient. Its three ...
The A320 PW1100G fan has 20 blades, down from 36 in the CFM56-5B. [43] Pratt & Whitney claims the PW1000G is 16% more fuel efficient than current engines used on regional jets and single-aisle jets, as well as being up to 75% quieter. [44]
Airbus will overhaul its A320 jet to offer 15% more fuel efficiency. Airbus will spend more than 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion) on the "A320neo" project, which will improve efficiency and reduce ...
By increasing efficiency, a lower cruise-speed augments the range and reduces the environmental impact of aviation.According to a research project completed in 2024 and focusing on short to medium range passenger aircraft, design for subsonic instead of transonic speed (about 15% less speed) with turboprop instead of turbofan propulsion would save 21% of fuel compared to an aircraft of ...
The A321neo has the same overall length as the A321ceo, with an increased fuel efficiency and performance rating. The A321neo has a range of 3,995 nautical miles (7,399 km), with an MTOW (maximum take-off weight) of 97 tons (97 000 kg/213 848 lb), and its engine has 24,500–35,000 lbf (109–156 kN) of thrust .
In December 2010, Airbus announced a new generation of the A320 family, the re-engined A320neo family (new engine option). [3] The similarly shortened fuselage A319neo variant offers new, more efficient engines, combined with airframe improvements and the addition of winglets, named "sharklets" by Airbus. The aircraft promises fuel savings of ...
Thrust-specific fuel consumption (TSFC) is the fuel efficiency of an engine design with respect to thrust output. TSFC may also be thought of as fuel consumption (grams/second) per unit of thrust (newtons, or N), hence thrust-specific .
