About Airbus A320

A320

The A320 was introduced in 1988 and has become the second best-selling airliner, second the B737. Airbus took advantage of new technologies to replace the existing B727, these included fly-by-wire control systems, composite primary structures, and center-of-gravity control using fuel. In fact, the A320 pioneered the first fully digital fly-by-wire control system in commercial aircraft. With the use of these new technologies the A320 managed to consume 50% less fuel than its competitor, the B727.

The success of the A320 has certainly transferred to the die-cast model market, making it one of the most popular models for collectors. Eztoys carries a vast array of die-cast A320 models from airliners all around the world.
