Onward & upward…
Production programs use incremental changes
Raise productivity
Extend market coverage
Lower operating costs
New development programs
Extend the technology envelope
Both offer means for improving eco-efficiency
Vital for aviation long-term sustainability

Extending A320 family structural capability
First production A320 aircraft: MTOW 66t (145,500 lb)
A320 MTOW extended up to 78t (171,950 lb) +18%
New Load Alleviation Function -
Rapid aileron deflection offloads the outer wing, moves the center of lift inboard, reduces bending moment
Highest A321 MTOW 93.5t (206,100 lb) +40%
Higher payload-range capability eco-efficiency

Extending A330-200 structural capability
Entry Into Service on new build aircraft in 2010
Also available as retrofit on A330 Enhanced aircraft
238t (524,700 lb) MTOW now available
+ 5t (11,000 lb) increase provides 350nm more range
