    The Airbus A320, which first flew in 1987, has a wing sweep of only 25 degrees because it was designed for slightly lower operating speeds than previous Airbus models. Significant effort was put into minimizing rear wing loading and maximizing front loading, which allowed for lighter wing flaps and helped reduce trim drag. Figures of the A320's root, kink, tip, and outer wing sections show its thinner leading edge and thicker trailing edge, as well as more front loading than the A310. Additional figures illustrate the A320's spanwise thickness distribution and wing twist.

    Airbus A320 (first flight 1987) As the A320 was designed for slightly lower operating speeds than

    the A300 and A310 (MMO = 0.82 and the cruise speed is M = 0.79 - 0.80) the wing sweep is only 1/4c= 25 deg. In the design of the basic section much efford was put in minimising the rear loading and maximising the front loading as illustrated in figure 24.118. This allowed for lighter wing flaps and also helped to lower the trim drag.

    Figure 24.119 shows the root, kink and tip section whereas in figure 24.120 a section in the outer wing is illustrated at a larger scale. The thinner leading edge and thicker trailing-edge region are evident. Also the root section suggests more front loading than on the A310. In figures 24.121 and 24.122 the spanwise thickness distribution and wing twist are shown.
