About the Airbus A320
The Airbus A320 family is the best-selling Airbus aircraft ever. It was the first commercial jet to use fly-by-wire controls — meaning computers help the pilot fly the plane. The A320 family includes the smaller A319, the standard A320, and the stretched A321.
Cool Fact!
Instead of a big steering wheel like older planes, the A320 pilot uses a small joystick — kind of like a video game controller! 🎮
