Product description

Quality metal model of the Airbus A320neo Lufthansa "Lovehansa" aircraft in detailed design. The package includes a chassis.

The Airbus A320neo (neo stands for new engine option) is a series of twin-engine jet narrow-body short- and medium-haul airliners manufactured by the European (French-German-British) company Airbus. The A320neo series was created by a substantial modernization of the previous Airbus A320 series and includes the A319neo, A320neo and A321neo models. In addition to more modern and more economical engines, it offers better aerodynamic properties, a wider cabin with better sound insulation and more seats, and lower operating costs. The modernized aircraft produces 5 thousand tons of COx less per year, while the production of NOx is 10 to 20% lower.

The development of the A320neo series began in December 2010. The prototype of the A320neo aircraft took off for the first time on September 25, 2014. On January 25, 2016, the first aircraft was handed over to the customer, which became Lufthansa. At the end of November 2019, Airbus had 7,200 orders for this series, with the most for the A320neo model in the number of 3,963 units from over 70 airlines. The main competitor of the A320neo series is the Boeing 737 MAX.

Half of the A320neo aircraft doors are manufactured at the Prague plant of LATECOERE (formerly Letov).
