Flight Testing

ACJ319neo makes successful first flight

airbus acj319neo

The ACJ319neo has successfully completed its first flight, lasting one hour and 55 minutes on 24 April 2019.

The test flight marks the beginning of a short flight-test program to verify its corporate jet features – such as the extra fuel tanks in its cargo-hold, which enable intercontinental range.

Built for business jet operator K5 Aviation of Germany, the aircraft will be outfitted with a VVIP cabin by Holland-based Fokker Techniek .

The ACJ319neo is derived from the A320neo family of aircraft and features new engines and wingtip-mounted Sharklets.

The aircraft can be  powered by either CFM’s Leap-1A or the PW1100G engine – K5 Aviation’s will be powered by the Leap-1A. The aircraft is also fitted with five additional centre tanks (ACTs) in its cargo-hold, and includes improvements such as a lower cabin-altitude for greater passenger comfort.

Corporate jet orders and commitments for ACJ320neo Family-derived aircraft now total 14.

Airbus’ A320 family shares features that have become standard in most new-generation business jets, such as enhanced-protection fly-by-wire controls, cost-saving centralised maintenance and the use of weight-saving carbonfibre in its construction.

Airbus says that is has around 200 corporate jets in service worldwide.
