MY AIRCRAFT

My airoplane is an Airbus 320

Airbus is an aircraft manufacturing subsidiary of EADS.
EADS is a European aerospace company. Based in Balgnac in Toulouse, France, and with significant activity across Europe, the company designs, develops, builds, sells and provides technical support after sales of aircraft of the same name. It produces more than half of the world's jet airoplanes.

                                     



 The series of the A319, A320 and A321 have nearly the same features, one of the differences is the passenger seating layout:

A319  passenger seating layout: 145 seats
A320  passenger seating layout: 180 seats
A321  passenger seating layout: 220 seats

My A320 is subsonic, medium-range, civil transport aircraft.

subsonic (or low-speed): the fluid motion is everywhere much slower than the speed of sound through the fluid or gas.

medium-range: Transport aircraft may be classed according to range, as follows:

 a. Short-range--Not to exceed 1200 nautical miles at normal cruising conditions (2222 Km).
 b. Medium-range--Between 1200 and 3500 nautical miles at normal cruising conditions (2222 and 6482 Km). Medium/short or some times Regional or commuter Range all mean the same thing.
 c. Long-range--Exceeds 3500 nautical miles at normal cruising conditions (6482 Km).

civil transport:  is one of two major categories of flying, representing all non-military aviation.
Civil aviation includes two major categories:

• Scheduled air transport including all passenger and cargo flights operating on regularly scheduled routes; and
• General aviation (GA), including all other civil flights, private or commercial.
