A319/A320 have overwing WINDOW exits while the longer A321 has a total of 4 DOOR exits. All are single aisle aircraft (also the shrinked A318 with its single overwing window exit)

Thus the A321 (to the casual observer) more resembles the A330 which also has 4 door exits on each side. However the A330 doors are bigger, but in relation to the aircraft size look the same size as the A321 doors.

330 has winglets, 320/321 has wing fences.

Thanks Steyr, I'm a relative newbie to Franks site. I think I have posted on the forums alright but probably under a different name;)

Up in Dublin, so of course paid a visit to the Airport...(thank God the airspace was opened by the time we got out there:D)...

I will be pedantic and suggest that the A320 family have wingTIPS. The BAC-11 has wingFENCES, they were vertical strips of metal on the upper wing surface to 'channel' airflow aft.

I may be wrong with the terminology though!

Andrew33 · 07-05-2010 7:28pm

Yeah, I remember them strips on the 1-11s but I think the things on the ends of a 320's wings are actually called wingFences. Below excerpt is from an article regarding Airbus testing proper blended winglets for the 320 family.

"After several years of flight testing, Airbus has launched a winglet upgrade to its A320 family it promises will provide a 3.5% fuel-burn improvement over the existing wingfence design.

The winglets, which Airbus has termed "sharklets," were designed by Airbus, although the manufacturer looked at other configurations. Airbus will need to add about 200 kg. in weight to stiffen the wingbox to handle higher loads, but found enough weight savings to keep the change weight-neutral, says Airbus chief operational officer for customers, John Leahy."

To Skelliser, you need to upload a smaller size in your pics, taking forever to open the page. Nicely composed but a lot of "noise" in your pictures.

Thanks

Much better!:D

What type of camera are you using? Keeping cam steady is vitally important, when holding camera to eye you should tuck both elbows together and press them into your stomach/chest, feels a bit weird at first but you'll notice a difference straight away. I'm only feeling my way tru photography at the moment but your pics look under exposed (dark), see if you can over compensate the exposure on your camera, its a lot of trial and error. I get this too when shooting upwards at aircraft, I think the expanse of sky fools the camera into thinking its brighter than it is. You should down load Paint.net or Picasso or something similar to play with your photos, I use Paint.net and you can sharpen pics and reduce noise, mess around with exposure etc. These progs are a bit limited but grand for starting off! Keep posting the pics and add some text detail too, make and model of aircraft, reg, operator etc.

He certainly screamed outta there! Everything in/out of St Maarten seems to be "insane" "crazy" etc. Its a cool looking place and a spotters paradise but if it was that insane or dangerous would it really be in operation?
