The new Sharklet wing tip devices for A320 Family jetliners – of which the A319 is a member – are part of a long-term enhancement programme to ensure Airbus’ best-selling single-aisle aircraft product line remains highly competitive, efficient and airport-friendly for years to come.
Offered as optional equipment on new production A320-series aircraft, Sharklets provide aerodynamic improvements that result in multiple benefits for operators – including lower fuel burn, reduced emissions, increased range and payload, better take-off performance and rate-of-climb, higher optimum altitude and reduced engine maintenance costs.
