NEW PLANE? - The Airbus A322...

[@Da__goat]

Essentially an Airbus 757. Makes sense, but, they’ll need to redesign a lot of the a321 airframe to get the performance and pax capacity they need to make the aircraft viable over a range up to 5000nm. Might even need a new bogey for the wheels due to weight, like the 757

[@geeniusatwrok]

Airbus already has a design for a quad bogie and wingbox. Air India ordered some A320s years ago and required a quad for rough runways. I think those have all been retired/scrapped, but the design is still in the vault. Probably needs work to handle the weight of a putative A322 vs A320.

[@KlausErmecke]

And why for all Saints should this hypothetical "A322" fly 5000 nm? Airbus has a perfect aircraft family to fly PAX loads of 200-250 people (the assumed A322 capacity) over 5000 nm - with the A330neo family!

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@KlausErmeckea narrow body is way more efficient. So the hourly operating cost will drop significantly

[@neilpickup237]

​​@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183I agree that a narrow body is much cheaper to operate than a wide body with a similar passenger capacity, however, it has nowhere near the same hold capacity. If there is sufficient demand for lucrative freight on a route, a wide body can generate more profit. It is for this reason that some routes are served with an aircraft of a size that the passenger numbers alone cannot justify.

A330-800neo didn't do well

[@ihmcallister]

I see the simple (and relatively cheap) stretch of four seat rows as a viable A322 version. Fuel tanks of the LR, rather than the XLR, and US transcontinental, or East Coast to Europe range. Airlines like Delta, United, Icelandair etc. need to build on fleets of 321s, and in some cases can't find a genuine 757-300 successor.

[@KlausErmecke]

If you start to design a new "A322", you would probably make it an A321XLR derivative. Why? Because the XLR RCT tank provides additional range without excessively eating into the cargo capacity. Furthermore, the XLR had already been modified to accomodate a higher MLW (landing weight). The primary structural challenge of stretches and freighters alike is the necessary increase in MLW. (This is, BTW, the reason why IMO Airbus should be able to quickly build an "A350-2000", when the necessary freighter adjustments have been achieved). Having said that, we should abandon the perception that such an "A322" would replace the 757-300. The 757-300 was a flop in the market: those airlines still operating them (namely UNITED, DELTA, ICELANDAIR, CONDOR) have already ordered A321neo and partly the A330neo. So the question is which airline could utilize the A320 double stretch. IMO, the best would be airlines with high frequency connections. I had looked into the issue a few years ago, and two city pairs with just insane frequencies: Those were Inchon-Jeju in Korea and (wake up, DJ!) Sydney-Melbourne, both typically served by 737 NGs. Both connectionns are stunningly short. KOREAN and QANTAS have both ordered the A321neo in the meantime as a 737 replacement. Both could use the (at this time hypothetical) "A322" to LOWER FREQUENCY and save costs and slots.

It's going to be tough to replace the 757 airframe. The Boeing 757 was like the sports car I wish I had. It was a fantastic airplane for airline service, or freight and mail delivery. Airbus will need to really hope this new design of theirs will equalize the amount for what the 757 has done.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

Airframe has not much to do with it. That’s mostly engine related.

[@The_Red_Squirrel]

Looks to me that Airbus already has a winner with the A321LR and XLR. They have enough orders to keep them busy into the next decade.

[@neilpickup237]

The current A321 is about as heavy as the current crop of engines can handle. Therefore, a simple stretch is not possible. The only solutions on the table until new, and more powerful engines are available, is for the aircraft to loose weight and increase lift. The obvious way to achieve the weight loss and increase lift is for new composite wings. Not only would these be lighter, they would be far more efficient as wing technologies have advanced significantly since the current wings fundemental design was done. Not being an engineer, I do not know how many additional rows of seats this could allow. However, if those new wings were to be fitted to the rest of the range, could you be looking at A220 levels of efficiency?

[@terencewong-lane4309]

I think heavier double bogie landing gear be required for extra weight stability. I think airlines would be very interested in a 11 or 12 hr range with a larger stretch to accommodate and sell fares in a premium economy class too for such long flights that dont want to operate the expense of a larger A330 neo range .

Running a market uncontested is not always healthy especially in the long term. The 737 proves that. Stretching An A321 is a great idea, so is stretching an A220. Not to do this for perceived effect on sales of other models is false economy. You are still selling more planes. That has to be better in the long run. And the bigger R and D spend on stretched models also has to mean long term money in the bank. Air Bus should look at it from their customers perspective.

The A321neo began production in 2016, with final assembly taking place in Hamburg, Germany. It entered service with Virgin America on 31 May 2017, taking its first commercial flight. As of September 2024, a total of 6,721 A321neo aircraft had been ordered by 85 disclosed customers, of which 1,479 aircraft had been delivered.

There has been video clips about A-350-2000 and A-320-2000 etc which are all bogus information made by video creators as "click baits". None of the engine manufacturer is announcing a new engine though one has speculated that it would take about 10 years to make one while some major changes have been made by all of them on their 5th generation units while they have a list of minor problems to deal with their new 5th gen as they are used by several carriers. The only project that has been studied is a new A-380 with new engines, a 5th generation one but wait to see how the market is evolving. A new A220-500 would be the next offer as there A-320 is aging rapidly and will need a replacement as there A-321 is too large. So we won't see a new aircraft before 2035 at best as Boeing needs to cope with al of its actual problems that occurs on a constant basis with the B-737MAX and B-787 beside the major problems with their B-777x. Airbus is quite happy with what they offer and don't think it would be wise to engage into a new product as all markets are well covered with the number of models they offer.

A322: Fake concept and not an A321NEO. It should be retired

I’m waiting for Elon Musk to start making jet liners to compete with Boeing and Airbus. Why not? He’s already making spacecrafts.

Electric?

@@jeremypearson6852 a more fuel efficient aircraft. Perhaps a fuel-electric aircraft. Maybe a SPACE-AIRPLANE that can travel from New York to Tokyo in two hours.

Elon time in aviation? I would say his plate is already full. And I doubt he wants to sleep in the factory again, like during the Model 3 hell.

A carbon fibre ultra short A350-500 with a narrower and shorter fuselage of the A330-200 size might be better. Narrow body long haul is really not a great experience. Do not push anything to the max.
