Farewell @MAPA

I’m sad. Why? Because I found out that @MAPA is leaving SimplePlanes.

So I bring it this rework of @MAPA’s Amazing Airbus A321

New Features:

  • New Engines
  • New Wings
  • Cockpit Window now dark
  • Passenger Windows now dark
  • Fixed landing gear retract & extend speed

I hope you enjoy!

Important Information (Wikipedia)

The Airbus A321 is a member of the Airbus A320 family of short to medium range, narrow-body, commercial passenger twin engine jet airliners;[b] it carries 185 to 236 passengers. It has a stretched fuselage which was the first derivative of the baseline A320 and entered service in 1994, about six years after the original A320. The aircraft shares a common type rating with all other Airbus A320-family variants, allowing A320-family pilots to fly the aircraft without the need for further training.

In December 2010, Airbus announced a new generation of the A320 family, the A320neo (new engine option).[2] The similarly lengthened fuselage A321neo variant offers new, more efficient engines, combined with airframe improvements and the addition of winglets (called Sharklets by Airbus). The aircraft delivers fuel savings of up to 15%. The A321neo carries up to 244 passengers, with a maximum range of 4,000 nmi (7,400 km; 4,600 mi) for the long-range version when carrying no more than 206 passengers.[3]

Final assembly of the aircraft takes place in Hamburg, Germany, Mobile, Alabama, United States, Tianjin, China,[4] and Toulouse, France.[5] As of August 2024, a total of 3,235 A321 airliners have been delivered, of which 3,156 are in service. In addition, another 5,052 A321neo aircraft are on firm order. American Airlines is the largest operator of the Airbus A321 with 298 examples in its fleet.[1]
