easyJet Airbus a319 G-EZBT departing London-Luton Airport LTN
G-EZBT, commission number 3090 is operated by EasyJet, is an Airbus A319-111 powered by two CFMI CFM56-5B4/3 engines first took to the air on the 29th March 2007. The CFM56 series of engines ( military designation F108) are a family of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines made by CFM International (CFMI). The Airbus A320 family consists of short- to medium-range, narrow-body, commercial passenger jet airliners manufactured by Airbus. The family includes the A318, A319, A320 and A321, and the ACJ business jet. After the introduction of the A320neo, it is also named A320ceo (current engine option). Final assembly of the family in Europe takes place in Toulouse, France, and Hamburg, Germany. Since 2009, a plant in Tianjin in the People's Republic of China has also started producing aircraft for Chinese airlines. In April 2013, Airbus has started construction work on a new production facility for the 319, 320, and 321 variants in Mobile, Alabama. The aircraft family can accommodate up to 220 passengers and has a range of 3,100 to 12,000 km (1,700 to 6,500 nautical miles), depending on model. The Airbus A320 is the first narrow body airliner to use a significant amount of the structure made from composite material. Its tail assembly made almost entirely of such material by CASA, who also builds the elevators, main landing gear doors, and rear fuselage parts. The A320 was the first civil airliner to include a full digital fly-by-wire flight control system. Its design also included a full glass cockpit rather than the hybrid versions found in previous airliners. Digital head-up displays are available. The A320's flight deck is equipped with Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) with side-stick controllers. At the time of the aircraft's introduction, the behaviour of the fly-by-wire system (equipped with full flight envelope protection) was a new experience for many pilots.
