and therefore the kerosene tanks are located. Higher loads on the target structure are
therefore to be expected.
13.3.1.5 Airbus A320
The Airbus A320 is a typical representative of two-engined narrow-body aircraft
with more than 1,000 units sold. It transports 150-180 passengers. The length is
37.57 m, the wingspan 34.10 m. The maximum take-off weight is 78 t with approx.
19 t kerosene. This aircraft model is comparable to the Boeing 737 or the
McDonnell Douglas MD-80. This model of aircraft can be seen as representative
for this most widespread category of aircraft (Fig.
13.7
).
Several specifications of the relevant passenger aircraft are summarized in
