A320 Family engines have a larger fan and a higher bypass ratio and thus:
• Lower Specific Fuel Consumption
• Lower maintenance cost

Under-wing height governs engine development

Engine installation design drivers

Key criteria for engine installation:

• Aft: Location of last LPT stage

dictated by Uncontained Engine
Rotor Failure (UERF)

• Lower: ground clearance

• Inlet aerodynamics at take-off
• Forward: Cargo door clearance
• Upper: slat clearance
• Aircraft bank angle
