New Member of the Airbus Family Introduced

Airbus has introduced a new group of products. The first product of this new group is the Airbus A220, a product that can provide many customers around the world for this European company in the absence of Boeing in this market segment. Until now, the names of Airbus models started with the number three. The first Airbus product, named Airbus A300, made its first test flight in 1972, but its lack of fame meant that the company only sold 81 units of this aircraft by 1979. With the introduction of the Airbus A320, the story changed: high demand for this class of aircraft in the world led to a flood of requests for this model. Meanwhile, the Airbus A300 also proved itself as a reliable and fuel-efficient wide-body aircraft, gaining many customers. This model was the first wide-body aircraft to use two engines, which contributed to its economic viability. With the success of the A300 and A320 models, Airbus entered the long-haul aircraft battle against Boeing, competing with the Boeing 777 using the A330 and A340 models, and ultimately introduced the Airbus A380, the largest passenger aircraft in the world, ending Boeing 747's reign. Now, the company has entered a segment where Boeing is not present. Boeing's smallest product is the 737, which is essentially rivaled by the Airbus A320 family. Last year, Airbus planned to take a more serious presence in the 100-seat aircraft segment by acquiring part of Bombardier and collaborating on the C Series, and now, with changes to this model, Airbus has transformed Bombardier's C Series into its new product line, the A220. Aircraft under 160 seats are currently experiencing a lot of demand worldwide, especially in recent years with the expansion of low-cost airlines, the need for these models has increased more than ever. Airbus hopes to produce six thousand of these aircraft in the next 20 years. In recent years, Bombardier introduced its new series of aircraft called the C Series. The CS100 model has a capacity of 120 passengers, and the CS300 model has a capacity of 160 passengers. The company hoped this product would transform Bombardier, but the opposite happened, and due to weak marketing, customers were not drawn to this model, resulting in significant losses for the company. However, with the renaming of this model from Bombardier's C Series to Airbus A220, customers are likely to line up for this model. Now, the CS100 model has become the Airbus A220 Series 100, and the CS300 model has become the A220 Series 300. The engine of this aircraft is produced by Pratt & Whitney of the USA, one of the strongest manufacturers of turbojet engines in the world. In Bombardier's C Series aircraft, parts of the landing gear system were sourced from Liebherr of Germany, the auxiliary power unit from Honeywell of the USA, and control and guidance systems from Rockwell Collins of the USA. The closest competitors to this product are Embraer's E2-190 from Brazil, Mitsubishi's MRJ from Japan, and Sukhoi's Superjet from Russia. There is a very high demand for these types of aircraft in Iran, and perhaps if the US had not exited the JCPOA, Iran would have become one of the major customers for this model. It is estimated that Iran will need about 100 to 200 of these aircraft for domestic flights and flights to neighboring countries.
