Airbus Industrie A321

Длиннофюзеляжный A321 стал первым самолетом, спроектированным на основе A320, который появился на рынке. Самолет A321 был анонсирован в мае 1989 года, официальная презентация модели состоялась в ноябре того же года. По сравнению с A320, фюзеляж A321 длиннее на 6,94 м. Удлинение фюзеляжа сделано за счет вставок перед и за крылом длиной соответственно 4,67 и 2,67 м. В более длинном фюзеляже помещается до 200 пассажиров в конфигурации с салонами одного эконом-класса или 185 пассажиров в варианте с салонами первого и эконом-классов. Другие конструкционные изменения коснулись аварийных люков, расположенных над крылом, доработки топливной системы, усиления конструкции планера и шасси, установки двухщелевых закрылков. В целом же, A321 конструктивно очень близок самолетам A320 и A319. В программе летных испытаний было задействовано четыре самолета, собранных на новом заводе фирмы "Daimler-Benz Aerospace Airbus" (ныне EADS) в Гамбурге. Первый из этих четырех самолетов выполнил первый полет 11 марта 1993 года. На нем установили два двухконтурных турбореактивных двигателя V2530-A5 тягой по 133,45 кН. Второй самолет впервые поднялся в воздух в мае 1993 года с альтернативной силовой установкой из двух ТРДД CFM56-5B. Самолет A321 получил европейский сертификат летной годности в декабре 1993 года для варианта с двигателями V2530-A5 и в феврале 1994 года в варианте с двигателями CFM56-5B. Первый самолет был поставлен авиакомпании "Lufthanza" в январе 1994 года, его эксплуатация началась в марте того же года.
   Базовая модель A321-100 имеет максимальную взлетную массу 83 000 кг с запасом топлива 23 700 л. Базовый вариант дополняет модель A320-200 с увеличенной дальностью полета. Самолет A321 -200 был собран в апреле 1995 года по заказу авиакомпании "Aero Lloyd", предназначен он прежде всего для использования на чартерных рейсах во время курортных сезонов, а также для эксплуатации в Северной Америке. Планер самолета A321-200 усилен, мощность силовой установки повышена - в частности используются двигатели CFM56-5B2 тягой по 137,89 кН; установлен дополнительный топливный бак емкостью 2900 л, что позволило увеличить дальность полета примерно на 760 км; максимальная взлетная масса увеличена до 88995 кг.
   Первый A321-200 был поставлен авиакомпании "Airwold/ILFC" в марте 1997 года. К ноябрю 2008 года "Airbus" получил всего 736 заказов на сборку самолетов A321. Ведутся работы по созданию грузовой модификации A321F в рамках программы "Airbus Freighter Conversion".

11 марта 1993г.: первый полет совершил A321 - удлиненный вариант лайнера Airbus A320, спроектированный в качестве конкурента Boeing 757-200.
Фирма "Airbus" представляла A330 лидером рынка, особенно из-за задержек с созданием лайнера Boeing 787. Однако в эпоху высоких цен на топливо A340 - четырехдвигательный собрат A330 - выглядел куда менее привлекательным.
27 февраля 2009г.: компания "Airbus" передала 500-й A321, A321-211 (F-GTAU), заказчику - компании "Air France". Он был передан на заводе в Финкенвердере (Гамбург), где выпускаются все авиалайнеры "Airbus" с одним межкресельным проходом.

Seen here during pre-delivery test flying as D-AVZU, new Air Jamaica Airbus A321-211 6Y-JMH (c/n 1503) should have been delivered to the airline on lease front GE Capital Aviation Services by the time these words are read. The airline already has two similar aircraft in service, both being former Flying Colours aircraft which were taken on lease from ILFC in early 1999.
The two oldest former Thomas Cook A321s, G-DHJH (cln 1238) and G-NIKO (c/n 1250), are to be converted for freighter use by Elbe Flugzeugwerke in Seletar, Singapore. The jets are expected to join Stansted-based Titan Airways later this year.

Austrian Airlines has introduced subtle changes to its colour scheme. The previous light blue has disappeared, new paintwork applied to the engine casings and ‘My Austrian' added to the fuselage. The belly now bears the word ‘Servus’, which is the Austrian slang for ‘hello’. The livery is seen here on A321-200 OE-LEC (msn 581) at Manchester.
Система ограничения критических режимов. Современные гражданские самолеты оснащаются специальными цифровыми системами, задачей которых является не допустить выход ЛА на режимы, угрожающие безопасности полета. В частности ими отслеживается максимально допустимая для воздушного судна перегрузка и выход на критические углы атаки. Европейский концерн "Airbus" впервые применил эту систему на лайнерах семейства A320, эксплуатирующихся с 1988 года (на снимке - A321). Аналогичные системы устанавливаются и на лайнеры компании "Boeing". Подходы "Airbus" и "Boeing", правда, различаются: европейская система жестко ограничивает режимы полета, тогда как на американской машине можно продолжить выполнение маневра, приложив дополнительные усилия к органам управления.

After the success of the A320, Airbus decided to offer a stretched version that could carry 199 passengers compared to its predecessor’s 164. This view emphasises the length of the A321, which is 22ft 9in longer than the earlier model. The aircraft illustrated is flown by UK carrier First Choice Airways, one of many charter airlines which have bought members of the A320 family.
Air Livery at Manchester Airport recently repainted two Gulf Air Airbus A321-231s, which have since rejoined the airline after a period in storage.

Although generally known as a charter carrier, 50% of Monarch Airlines' business is now scheduled flights. It operates six types of aircraft in a 28-strong fleet. Pictured is one of the eight A321s in current use.
After almost 34 years in the airline business, Monarch Airlines announced on March 15, 2002 that it was finally to introduce a new corporate identity, although changes are relatively subtle. Airbus A321-231 G-OZBE seen here recently at Manchester, along with Boeing 757-2T7 G-MONE, are the first two aircraft to adopt the new colours.
Manchester is a major base for Monarch - pictured at the airport is one the airline's six A320s, parked alongside three A321s. These aircraft types are mainly used by the airline for scheduled flights.
Monarch Airlines has painted one of its Airbus A321-231s (G-OZBI c/n 2234) in a scheme to promote a new television show due to be aired on the British ITV2 channel this autumn.

The first such service will be flown on August 26, 2008 between Gatwick and Alicante.

The airliner was previously operated by Onur Air of Turkey, and on delivery it will become CS-TRJ on the Portuguese register, as it will be operated by HiFly of Lisbon on lease to Belgium. The A321 will replace the A330-321 currently used by Belgium as a long-range transport, which is also leased from HiFly.
