6 JETLINE <strong>marvel</strong> I January 2015 T he Airbus A320neo family is a family of aircraft under development by Airbus replacing the predecessor A320 family (now A320ceo (current engine option)). The letters "neo" stand for "New Engine Option" and are the last step of the modernization program A320 Enhanced (or A320E) which was started in 2006. In addition to the neo, the modernization program also included such improvements as: Aerodynamic refinements, large curved winglets (Sharklets), weight savings, a new cabin with larger luggage spaces, and an improved air purification system The assembly of Airbus’ first A320neo has been completed following painting of the aircraft and the mounting of Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-JM engines. MSN6101, which will be the first A320neo to fly, will soon start its ground tests to prepare for first flight. The A320neo has over 95% airframe commonality with the current A320 with 91% commonality in tooling; the airframe is made with new materials such as composite materials and more aluminum alloys, which helps save weight and thus fuel consumption. Also, the new materials will reduce the total of parts of the plane, which will decrease the maintenance costs The flight test campaign for the A320neo will kick-off in September 2014, paving the way for Entry into Service in Q4 2015. The A320neo “new engine option” incorporates many innovations, including latest generation engines and large Sharklet wing-tip devices, which together deliver 15 percent in fuel savings and a reduction of 3,600 tons of C02 per aircraft per year. With a total of nearly 2,700 orders received from more than 50 customers since its launch in 2010, the A320neo Family has captured some 60 percent of the market, clearly demonstrating its leadership. These improvements in combination are predicted to result in 15% less fuel consumption per aircraft, 8% lower operating costs, less noise production, and a reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by at least 10% compared to the A320 series, as well as an increase in range of approximately 500 nautical miles. A rearranged cabin allows up to 20 more passengers, enabling in total over 20% less fuel consumption per seat.

7 JETLINE <strong>marvel</strong> I January 2015 Airbus A350XWB As part of the annual airbus innovation days conference in Toulouse Thursday 12 June 2014, France, Airbus took 150 aviation journalists on a special test flight of the company This was the first test flight of the A350 to carry members of the public, ahead of the year’s end debut of the first A350 commercial flight with launch airline Qatar Airways. The journey – which carried the official flight number of AIB31CF – began and ended at the Airbus Delivery Centre in Toulouse. The first-ever testing of an Airbus aircraft at the U.S. Air Force’s McKinley Climatic Laboratory subjected the A350 XWB and its various systems and cabin installations to a full range of conditions for further maturity and operability verifications prior to this new jetliner’s delivery start-up later this year. Airbus brought A350 XWB MSN2 to the facility at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida for more than two weeks of evaluations this month, during which this developmental aircraft was subjected to multiple climatic and humidity settings from a high of 45 deg. C. to as low as -40 deg. C. The A350 XWB is one the largest aircraft ever tested at the McKinley Climatic Laboratory, requiring the teams to start their preparations six months prior to arrival. “This is a one-of-a-kind tool, and the laboratory’s operators are masters of it,” Foucault said. “They made everything seem possible.
