Following the success of Airbus's large-scale projects, the European company sought to enter the single-airplane market. Airbus's first attempt in this area was called the A320, which, in addition to its excellent features, is itself the maker of three other successful Airbus models, the A318, A319 and A321. The Airbus for the A320 had a capacity of 150 people, which was less risky. The A320 is the first known aircraft in the world to use a wired flight control system. In this control system, the input data is transferred from the pilot to the flight levels. This is done by electronic signals, which are faster than the mechanical mode. Another advantage of flying by wire is that it is computer controlled and the human crew has less of a role to play. Airbus has designed an advanced electronic flight deck for the A320 with 6 color screens. The A320 cockpit is the same as the other three in the family, which saves a lot of time and money. Another initiative used on the A320 for the first time is the use of a manual control lever instead of the standard control steering used in aircraft. (This content is copied from the plane blog) Airbus has also used composites in the design of the A320. Two CFM56 and V2500 engines were considered to launch the A320. The design program for the A320 began in March 1982, and after five years of study and research, finally made its maiden flight on February 22, 1987, and received its flight certification on February 26, 1988. Delivery to customers began with the delivery of the first A320 to Air France in March of that year. The first A320 with a V2500 engine was delivered to Adria Airways in May 1989. The initial production was the 100-A320, of which only a small number were made. The A320-200 replaced the Model 100 after receiving its flight certification in November 1988 with changes such as take-off weight gain, longer range and the use of a bulkhead. The Airbus A320 is the first member of a successful family to bring
