Launched in June 1993, the A319 is a shortened fuselage variant of the A320, featuring Airbus' common two crew glass cockpit with sidestick controllers first introduced on the A320. The Airbus Corporate Jetliner is a version of the A319 configured for use as a business jet and competing with the Boeing Business Jet.

First flight: February 22, 1987 
Wingspan: 111 ft. 10 in. / 34.09 m 
Length: 123 ft. 3 in. / 37.57 m

Crew: 2 
Accommodation: 150-179 in two or one class configuration

Launched in March 1982, the A320 is perhaps best known as the first airliner to introduce a flybywire flight control system. Introducing "hard limits" to commercial airliners, the flight control system's computer controlled flight envelope protection makes it virtually impossible to exceed certain flight parameters such as G limits and the aircraft's maximum operating speed or angle of attack.

Crew: 2 
Accommodation: 185-220 in two or one class configuration

Launched in November 1989, the A321 is a stretched fuselage variant of the A320 and designed as a direct competitor to the Boeing 757. Unlike the A319, which required no structural enhancements, the A321 required some strengthening of the undercarriage and larger tires to handle the higher weights associated with the stretch.

Crew: 2 
Accommodation: 253-293 in three or two class configuration

Launched in November 1995, the A330-200 is a shortened fuselage variation of the A330-300 designed for increased range. This increase was realized through the weight reduction associated with the fuselage reduction as well as the addition of a center fuel tank.

Crew: 2 
Accommodation: 295-335 in three or two class configuration

Launched in simultaneously with the A340 on June 1987, the A330-300 is nearly identical in systems, airframe, flightdeck and wings to the four-engine A340.

*************************
Launched in June 1987, the A340 entered revenue service in March 1993.  Designed as a long haul widebody, the A340-300 and later -200 are free from ETOPS restrictions placed on many of today's popular twinjets.

In keeping with Airbus' commonality policy, the A340 shares the same flightdeck (including side stick controllers and EFIS), plus flybywire, basic airframe, systems, fuselage and wing with the A330. The flightdeck is also common to the A320 series, where the design was introduced.
************************
Launched in December 1997, the A340-500 offers a fuselage stretched by 10 ft. 6 in./ 3.19m compared with the A340-300. The most impressive feature of the model is its massive range of 8,500 nm / 15,740 km, which will make it the longest ranging airliner in the world; capable of operating Los Angeles/Singapore nonstop,  for example.

Launched on December 19, 2000, the double-deck A380 will be the world's largest commercial aircraft. Airbus began engineering development work on the A380 in June 1994, with many refinements and modifications made up through the announced launch. Referred to as the "A3XX" during development, the "8" designation was chosen to symbolize the aircraft's double-deck cross section. First deliveries are expected in March 2006.  Initially, a freighter version of the A380 will also be available, with a stretched -200 variant possible at a later date.
