Airbus A320 Coloring Pages

A super popular airplane active all over the world! Airbus A320

Airbus A320 is a passenger plane (a plane that carries people) made by the European company Airbus. It is used by many airlines around the world, so if you look up at the sky, you can often see it flying. It uses lots of the latest digital technology, and it is made so pilots can fly it safely.

History and features of Airbus A320

Airbus A320 flew with passengers for the first time in 1988. It was the first to use amazing features that were different from older planes.

• Sidestick: Normal airplanes have a big control stick right in front of the seat. But you fly Airbus A320 with a small lever on the side of the seat (a sidestick), just like a game controller!
• Computer support: This plane was the first to fully use a system where a computer checks the pilot's movements. The computer helps keep the plane safe from dangerous moves.

The difference between "CEO" and "NEO"

There are two main types of Airbus A320: the classic type and the new, improved type. Let's look at what makes each one special!

• Airbus A320ceo: This is the original classic type. It stands for "Current Engine Option." It is a reliable plane that has been very active around the world for a long time.
• Airbus A320neo: This is the new, improved type. It stands for "New Engine Option." It looks a bit similar, but it has gotten a huge power-up on the inside!

What changed? Points of evolution

The new "NEO" is kinder to the planet and has more power than the "CEO". The NEO has brand-new, very large engines. It can fly quieter than the CEO, and it uses much less fuel. It can fly longer distances and is great for the environment, too. Isn't that awesome?

How to Choose Colors

When you color your Airbus A320 coloring page, try showing off the unique styles of different airlines!

• Airplane body color: Real airplanes are often white, but Japanese airlines use many colors like blue, pink, and orange. You can use your favorite airline's colors, or make up your very own airplane design!
• Engines: Coloring the middle of the engine or the outer cover with your favorite color makes a super cool accent!
• Cockpit and windows: If you color the cockpit windows and the round passenger windows light blue or gray, they will look shiny like real glass!

Make It Look 3D Flying in the Sky!

Here are some fun coloring tricks to make your round airplane look awesome.

• Add shadows for a rounded shape: Add a little dark gray shadow under the airplane's belly and large wings. This makes your airplane look 3D, just like it is really flying!
• Sunlight highlights: Leave the top of the airplane a bit blank or use light colors to show the bright sunlight shining on it.

Try Drawing a Background

Where is your Airbus A320 flying? Try adding a beautiful blue sky or fluffy white clouds in the background. An orange sky at sunset or a starry night sky would be wonderful, too. Drawing the moment it takes off from the airport runway is super cool, too!

Tips to Enjoy Your Coloring Page!

It is super fun to imagine who is looking out the windows and draw tiny faces inside! You can also draw your own big logo on the airplane. Have fun coloring however you like!

The engines got bigger and save a lot of fuel

The new Airbus A320neo has engines that are one size larger than the older model (CEO). Because the fans are bigger, they can push a lot of air out the back, helping the plane fly with strong power using less fuel. It saves about 20 percent of its fuel, making it super kind to the Earth!

The secret of the shark fin "Sharklets"

The big, upward-curved boards on the tips of the Airbus A320neo wings are called "Sharklets." They got this name because they look just like a shark's dorsal fin. Thanks to these, the plane can reduce pesky air swirls at the ends of its wings, which helps the plane move smoothly through the air!

Some planes wear "black sunglasses" around their cockpit windows

On some of the newest Airbus A320neo planes, there is a black frame around the cockpit windows. It looks just like the plane is wearing black sunglasses or glasses! This does not just make it look cool. It also stops glare from the sun so the pilots' eyes do not get tired, and it even helps control the temperature!
