Different Btw A320-300 and A320-200
 

hi all,

as my company just order 2 of A320-300 so i would like 2 ask what is the different btw it and A320-200..
hope someone can answer me...

and how many Cabin Crew does it need in a flight..

as what u heard, and i checked in web... but didnt find anything says the different btw them.. what i saw BA has them..

Actually, BA has some 320-100's. But I guess that would not be the same:bored:

has AirBus website says that 21 aircraft of a320-100 was build, then was built the a320-200 but nothing abt the A320-200.. but when i was checking the website abt it, i found couple of airline have ordered them.. like BA & JetBlue..

but didnt find anything in AirBus website (as it says A320 only)

as the information i got until now, is that the A320-300 has a Winglet like A330 and Boeing 737NG

this the picture i got..
 

I thought the idea of a winglet equipped A320 was dropped because of the weight issues (mainly re-enforcing the wing).

Still first time I see an A320-300.

Rwy in Sight

The A320-100 has no wing tip fence, just a kuchemann tip. The A320-200 came slightly later with a WTF. Don't think there is a A320-300.

The photo you have there is a large winglet programme, fitted for flight test, but dropped due to (as you say) the requirement to make the wing significantly stronger.

No I'm not a geek, but an aerodynamicist for a large european aircraft manufacturer. ;) I want to be a pilot though.

condor airways uses a a320-300 m8, its the same size in general no winglets just like the standard -200 and the same number of exits so the same cabin crew minimum requirements which is 4.... possibly higher fuel capacity 23860 ltrs, the -200 is 18500 ltrs give or take 500 due to outside air temp hope this helps:)

In 2006, Airbus tested three styles of winglet, intended to counteract the wing’s induced drag and wingtip vortices more effectively than the previous wingtip fence. Adoption of the new winglets was expected to reduce fuel consumption by one to two percent. The first design type to be tested was developed by Airbus and was based on work done by the AWIATOR program. The second type of winglet used a more blended design and was created by Winglet Technology LLC, a company based in Wichita, Kansas as well as the third type.

Two airplanes were used in the flight test evaluation campaign. F-WWBA, the first A320 produced, has been retained by Airbus for testing, and was fitted with both the first type and second type of winglets. JetBlue Airways provided the second aircraft, retrofitted by Airbus with both types of winglet.

Despite the anticipated efficiency gains and development work, Airbus announced that the new winglets will not be offered to customers, claiming that the weight of the modifications required would negate any aerodynamic benefits.[3] In addition, the change in forces from winglets add additional stress to the wing which would require long-term study to determine if structural integrity is compromised.

so u mean the newspapers wrote the version wrong!!!!...

Just a quick note, off track a little from the original post.
Airbus has turned to Aviation Partners over a new winglet for the A320 Enhanced according to flight this week.:ok:
