A320 neo
NEO is one of many upgrades introduced by Airbus to maintain its A320 product line’s position as the world’s most advanced and fuel-efficient single-aisle aircraft family.
The A320neo brings minimum change with maximum benefit through the availability of two advanced engine choices – Pratt & Whitney’s PurePower PW1100G-JM geared turbofan, and CFM International’s LEAP-1A, both of which provide outstanding operational, economic, and environmental performance.
Also included on the A320neo are Airbus’ Sharklets™, which were pioneered on the A320ceo version. The 2.4-metre-tall wingtip devices are standard on NEO aircraft, and result in up to 4% reduced fuel burn over longer sectors, corresponding to an annual reduction in CO2 emissions of around 900 tonnes per aircraft. Sharklets are incorporated on new-build aircraft, and also are available for retrofit on the earlier A320ceo jetliners.
Overall, the A320neo delivers 20% fuel savings and CO2 reduction compared to previous-generation Airbus aircraft.
