The A320 family pioneered the use of digital fly-by-wire flight control systems in commercial aircraft when it was first delivered in 1988. With over 3,000 aircraft built, it is one of the best-selling jet airliner families of all time, trailing only behind its main competitor, the Boeing 737. Developers began working on a new model to replace the popular Boeing 727 after its initial success. The goal was to create an aircraft of similar size but with improved operating economics and various passenger capacities. By incorporating digital technology, the A320 represented a two-generation technological leap over the all-analogue 727 and a generation ahead of the Boeing 737-300/-400/-500 series. The A320 was designed to meet global fleet replacement requirements for the 727 and early variants of the 737. Following the oil price rises in the 1970s, manufacturers aimed to minimize trip fuel costs by incorporating advanced features such as fly-by-wire flight control, composite primary structures, centre-of-gravity control using fuel, a glass cockpit (EFIS), and a two-person flight deck. As a result, the A320 consumes 50% less fuel than the 727. The aircraft's then-revolutionary fly-by-wire flight controls with sidestick cockpit controller and full glass cockpit were initiated by Bernard Ziegler. He successfully convinced aviation authorities of the concept's validity, paving the way for its widespread adoption.
