The A321 has a slightly increased wing area, stronger landing gear with larger tires, and engines with increased thrust. When the A321 entered service in 1988, it pioneered the use of glass cockpit instrumentation, the first digital fly-by-wire control system used in an airliner, and sidestick controllers.
