Every Airlines Says "GOODBYE" to 737 Max and BEG For The NEW A320! Here's Why
In February this year, Airbus announced that they wanted to replace its A3 20 family by the mid-20 30’s. It’s absolutely normal when an aircraft manufacturer decides to replace one of their aircraft family after its long production run to catch up with the market’s increasing demand. However, the point is that, up to this point, the A3 20 is the bestselling aircraft of Airbus and still having so much interest from carriers all over the world. So, what is going to be the perfect replacement for this iconic aircraft? What does this strategic move really mean? Let’s find out in this episode!
Every Airlines Says "GOODBYE" to 737 Max and BEG For The NEW A320! Here's Why
Airbus is currently involved in two major initiatives aimed at developing the next generation of aircraft. The first is a smaller, hydrogen-fueled plane with a range of approximately 1,000 miles or 1,600 kilometers, named Zero-e. The second project is focused on creating a successor to the A3 20, which will be powered by sustainable aviation fuel.
Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO, stated that the new Airbus aircraft is testing wings with a larger span and other adaptable characteristics in flight, as well as propulsion systems.

(“We’re testing wings with a bigger span, with certain characteristics in terms of adaptability in the air. We’re testing the propulsion systems.”)
The design of the new A3 20 aircraft depends on engine selection, with options such as CFM International's Rise open-rotor engines being considered. The A3 20 successor is expected to deliver a fuel burn reduction of 25 to 30 percent and run on 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel. It will consist of models with seating capacities ranging from 140 to 240 people.
