I quote from the article: "The name "A320" can refer to either the original mid-sized aircraft, or to the complete A319/A320/A321 family."

I strongly disagree with this. Just to set out my credentials: I worked on A320 wing aerodynamics, at Bristol and in Toulouse, from the start of the A320 project. I then went on to A330/A340 wing design.

At no time was the A318/A319/A320/A321 family ever generically called the A320. At least, not inside BAe at Bristol nor in Toulouse. I would have known if it was. Even so, I'm not going to change the text yet in case someone knows even more than I do.

Can the quote be justified?
