Confusion on A320NEO development

Hello everyone! I have a question about the development of A32NEO A321NEO and the 787 that has won the competition about which aircraft that is getting a rework.

So now that the A320NEO is making great progress in the development and soon coming to beta testing, when it’s done and ready for launch, will the development begin of A321NEO immediately afterwards or will the development on the begin on the 787 after A320NEO?

Hey there!

As far as I’m aware they are more or less working on the A320neo and the A321neo together (given there are a lot of similarities), with the A320neo being released first.

I wouldn’t speculate on where its at in development - we don’t know.

The 3D artists will probably start work on the 787 once the modelling for the NEOs is done.

Thank you for your answer, it helped a lot. :grin: But this is really exciting stuff now we get A320-A321NEO and a rework for the 787 and project metal that is 90% done this is a very exciting year. It’s gonna be huge for infinite flight. :slightly_smiling_face:

It’ll go A320neo, A321neo, secret aircraft (probably) than 787-9

Like @BennyBoy_Alpha said, it’s still fairly early in development so I don’t think beta testing is available right now.

I didn’t mention the secret aircraft because 1) we have no idea what it is and 2) we have no idea what stage of development it’s even in or where it is in the pipeline.

I mean it is a secret after all, that’s my guess to how it’ll go

Welcome to the Community!

Yes there is a “secret aircraft” in the pipeline. As I said though we don’t know where in the pipeline and/or what stage of development its in.

What we have known for this year in terms of aircraft rework is as following: A20N, A21N, A6-Texan, and the secret aircraft.

While people may argue that the A6 isnt confimed, we should note that its a ready product and they developers havent hesitated about its future release this year in a coversation on the Laura Fleet thread.

You think this will replace the spitfire just like the Challenger 350 replaced the citation X?
I actually would not mind that as the spitfire is horrible.
