Airbus A321 - becoming an ace of trumps

  • The Airbus A321 is a medium-range passenger aircraft created by Airbus in the early 1990s on the basis of Airbus A320 and is part of the family. Unlike the medium-haul A320, the A321 is a version claiming longer routes, that for a long time have been occupied by the Boeing 757. However, this desire was limited by technical and corporate capabilities.
    With the advent of the NEO generation, the situation has changed drastically, and the big brother, who was previously considered practically an outsider, may now become one of the foundations of Airbus commercial aviation. Let's see how it manages that.

      People talk about the narrow cabin width (comfort) of this plane for long flying distances, but I remember many years ago, flying a narrower Boeing 757 transatlantic between Amsterdam and Toronto. In fact, the A321 LR/XLR is 7 inches wider than the similar-range 757, which it is replacing. So each A321 seat can get an additional inch of width, over a 757.

    Delta was extremely interested in the Boeing NMA even wanting to be the first operator. They wanted input on the design. Since that evaporated, I guess they have moved on to Airbus and the A321 and A321 NEO. They no longer have any Boeing Aircraft on order but plan to operate their refurbished B757 and B767-400s for the next few years. (They are awesome with the new interiors; I flew on both last month). Boeing screwed up more than the B737-MAX, they also forfeited Future Sales.

    The 757 could have been the plane to modernize and build upon as it was newer than the 737. There was not much economics to benefit from without drastically changing the 737 physically. Airbus has in its DNA that ability to make changes on the planes it designs; from the beginning, versatility was all around, all the way to the luggage containers; flexibility was key in order to reduce the cost of operations whether for airfares, maintenance, repairs, or even the airports costs and insurance. I won’t be surprised if that philosophy inspired other entities outside aviation to evolve beyond their traditional business models.

    Answering where this habit came from is very easy: since the A32x NEO proved to be very flexible, they can adapt it to serve a wide range of needs with a minimal investment and with no or minimal overhead costs to airlines. They would be mad not to take the money that's lying on the ground in front of them, especially since that strategy had mode than paid off by creating a massive headache for Boeing and virtually driving the COMAC out of the Western market before it was even released into production.

  • @ralphsmith242
    @ralphsmith242 3 года назад +5

    4700 nautical miles is well over 8 hours endurance. 8 hours endurance is the maximum efficient endurance for a plane of this size. At any distance materially greater than 8 hours of flight time, two crews must be carried. In this setting, the optimum balance between seat cost and crew cost mandates a larger aircraft.
    Airlines might be making enquiries about such a jet, but they aren't paying deposits. Routinely a paper order for an A321neo can be converted into an order for an A321ceo or even an A320ceo if desired. This is especially true if the new aircraft's performance falls short of expectations.

    • @ecoRfan
      @ecoRfan 3 года назад +1

      Yeah it almost seems like the limits are being pushed by adding as much extra fuel tank capacity possible to what is already a stretched design, whether that compromise is performance or capacity.

    • @ralphsmith242
      @ralphsmith242 3 года назад +3

      @@ecoRfan That is true, but keep in mind the 737 platform is being stretched even further from its original design objectives. For a given level of engine performance, the A320 design will stretch further than the B737 design, because of negative static stability and more clearance between nacelle and runway. Already the largest 737s are needing a very high approach speed and any increase in empty weight will increase that landing speed further. This was one reason why the 737 was unsuitable for the new airport at Sant Helena, for example.

    I remember when market analysts (and even Airbus to an extent) thought that the XLR would be a niche aircraft. Much like they got screwed with the downfall of hub-spoke models and the A380, I think airlines complete investment in point-to-point has ironically handed Airbus an unexpected gift in remarkable XLR sales.
    Again, this was supposed to be a niche aircraft.
    Then again it was also strategic in that it forced Boeing’s hand with some sort of NMA solution.

While Boeing was still playing is yes-no-maybe-I-dunno-bugger game, Airbus simply pulled the rug right from under its feet in the MOM segment.

      @@Dave-dh7rt it would require much more than that. In addition to aerodynamics the Airbus lineup is far more efficient with space, both in cabin and fuel layouts. The aircraft is also significantly lighter (~50k lbs) and uses some composite structures.
      Plus you can’t just bump raw specs… safety and redundancy as well as better cockpit ergonomics (large LCD screens with fully integrated FBW, complete triple redundant systems and flight protections, etc) are also big selling points.
      I also don’t think there is currently an engine being offered in that power class, plus Boeing’s own CONSTANT mention of an NMA essentially destroys any potential for a 757 MAX type plane.
      Also there’s the issue of commonality which wasn’t brought up in the video - airlines LOVE being able to train pilots on a type that can essentially do almost anything they need. The same goes for their maintenance teams and parts depots, etc. Bringing the 757 back in any form would be a logistical nightmare for most airlines.

    One thing Airbus has yet to figure out on this family of airframes is the durability of the fuel control panels for the fuelers. Not fun having to drip-stick these planes when panels aren't working. They should've standardized the location of the fuel control panels for all of them instead of letting fuelers always having to figure out if the panel is on the wing with the SPR or on the belly side.

Even the XLR will use the '88 -200 wing with modified flaps. The systems and flight deck also have much room for modernization, and being a native FBW design makes it much easier to port technology from the A350 and even A220.

On the other hand the A32x still has room for improvement, so Boeing must develop a new aircraft or they would have nothing to counter it with in the most competitive and lucrative segment of the market. That's just unthinkable.
      The FBW and cockpit modernisation is an interesting question and I have been wondering about that too. If there ever is another A32x generation, it will have to receive substantial upgrades in those areas in order to be certified. If they develop a clean sheet replacement instead, then it's a no brainer. But Airbus now has two different state of the art cockpit designs and FBW systems, the A220 and the A350. Will they unify the A32x (or successor) with the A220 to have commonality across their single aisle families, or will they go for the A350 style for commonality across the middle of the market-widebody families?

    The thing is ,the A321 LR has somewhat wierd handling charactistics during landing , it likes to drop suddenly after retarding the throttle,also the auto-thrust is nowhere near as responsive as the CEO ,during approches the speed is always off buy around 10 knots.of course pilots can learn to deal with the changes but these two factors combines sometimes makes it really quite difficult in windy conditions.The good thing about them is that the vls is 10 knots slower during approaches ,so for most situations pilots prefer flying the CEO apart from approaches at high altittude airfields . By creating the A321 XLR the 320 palttform has reached its capability limit i'm afraid.

    The information on the ACTs (Additional Center Tanks) at 08:10 is not correct, in that they are not unique to the NEOs. The two ACTs aft of the wing were an option on the -200 series that was taken up on virtually every aircraft; given that there were only about 90 A321-100 aircraft produced (and less than a dozen still in service) and that virtually every A321-200 has the two optional ACTs aft of the wing, for all practical purposes one can assume that all A321 CEOs have those two tanks.
    Conversely the forward (third) ACT is not standard on the NEO but rather is an option for the A321LR model. American Airlines, which is the world’s largest operator of the A321, has about 45 A321 NEOs in service so far, none of which have the forward (third) ACT. American is also taking delivery of ETOPS A321 NEOs that may have the forward tank, but as best I know right now will not.
    American Airlines A321 NEOs will not get increased fuel capacity over the standard A321 CEO until taking delivery of the XLR variant, which will have an even larger permanent Rear Center Tank in place of the two aft ACTs and which is roughly equivalent to four ACTs, or doubling the aft ACT fuel capacity, while the forward ACT will still remain available as an option.
    After all that, the short version is: All 321s - CEO and NEO - have the two extra tanks behind the wing, while some NEOs may add the option of a third tank forward of the wing.

      @@icare7151 In my previous comment, I mentioned that the reason why the A321neo is so attractive to airlines is due to its flexibility: the A321neo family can either fly long range or fly high demand, short range routes. Also, the A321neo has a common type rating with the A320neo, meaning that airlines can operate lower demand routes as well as the routes operated by the A321neo with a single group of pilots. If the A220-500 and -700 were to replace the A320neo and A321neo, airlines would need 2 groups of pilots to operate the same routes, which would counteract the savings brought about by the small increase in efficiency.

    Boeings biggest mistake I feel was killing the 757. They could have maybe looked at a 757NG - with Dreamliner cockpit, cleaned up airframe, a version of the Dreamliner wings and of course new generation engines...with no ground clearance problems.
    As for A321XLR I'll never want to fly for 10hr+ on this narrow drainpipe. It will be utter misery. Just one aisle, imagine the constant lines for the toilets, FAs trying to do their job etc. Also what about crew rest area? The only way to do that will be to reserve seats. On a budget airline the seats will be horrible. On airlines like Jet Blue theres the excellent Mint.
    So the experience on these planes depends on the airline you are on. But even then theres no escaping the fact that you are on a narrow tube for a long long time. I have been on a 6hr 50 min flight on an A320NEO..never again. I for one will happily pay more to go on a widebody. Excellent video friend, subbed!

      @@spongebubatz it’s not the weight by itself, it’s what is known as “floatation” or how much weight is on each wheel, or more specifically, the contact patch of each tire. The early Indian 320s had four-wheel bogies to allow them to land on grass and dirt runways. As it turns out that’s not likely to happen anymore, at least with the NEOs, as the bottom lip of the new engines is less than two feet off the ground. Coupled with the higher amount of suction in those big motors at takeoff (or worse, max reverse) flying a NEO into an unprepared runway would essentially be like operating a pair of 30,000 hp* vacuum cleaners - they’ll suck every rock, stick, and small animal within a couple of feet of the intakes through at least the fan section, turning the 30,000 hp vacuum cleaner into a 30,000 hp Cuisinart……Since it makes no sense to operate the airplane from unprepared fields, in turn there’s no need use four-wheel bogies.
      Floatation is a term I learned from an army tanker who was explaining that an M1 Abrams MBT - despite its massive weight - puts about as much pressure on the ground as a human being, (and less than a dog - you’ll know that if a large dog has ever stepped on your foot). As it turns out he was correct for a human that was walking; a human standing stationary is about half the pressure of a tank, while a passenger car is twice the pressure of a tank. An Airbus’s tires place five to six times the pressure on the ground as a tank, and Navy aircraft.
      * Technically jet engines are rated in lbf thrust, not horsepower, and they are not the same thing, though lbf thrust does coincide with horsepower in steady state flight at about 300 kts.

    The A321 doesn't have the lower take off weight and faster performance the the 757 which is why Delta is updating their 757 for flying into the next decade. American and United are also holding on to their 757's for the same reason. A fully loaded 757 can take off at 140 mph 20% lower than the 321. Plus it has higher flying speed (over 600 mph) and can maneuver altitudes faster than any other plane made today. which is why the airlines are hesitant to retire a plane that gets the job done particularly on South America and Hawaii routes. It's hard to find a plane that can service small airports, hot airports and high airports where the air is thinner of which the 757 can handle all 3 at once. The 321 runs less expensively but gives up on performance. I hope Boeing makes the perfect replacement with real future growth in aviation will be India, South America and Africa. But with the impending war none of this will matter for the next decade.
