A321neo Live Preview Recap

Blog article by Dan Woodhams

Missed our A321neo live preview? We’ve put together a recap covering some of the biggest moments from the stream, including the reveal of an interactive cockpit, a closer look at the aircraft’s more advanced systems, improved Fowler flap animations, both LEAP-1A and PW1000G engine options, and a new American Airlines livery.

We also addressed one of the most common questions from the stream: engine sounds. While the preview build wasn’t equipped with any new sounds, we confirmed that work is underway and we hope to share more soon.

Check out the full recap for all the highlights, or watch the livestream back to see the A321neo in action.

Nice and summarizing topic. Can’t wait for what’s in the works regarding engine sounds, and I am (and probably the rest of the community is ) really looking forward to seeing more liveries of both LEAP1A and PW1100G engines

The new flap animations do seem interesting! I hope the current fleet, in time, can be reworked into having all these new features.

The interactive cockpit was the part that really blew me away, along with the start up procedure being leveled up to a whole new level with this aircraft. Can’t wait to fly this thing once it releases!
