STRUCTURE GENERAL
Main structure differences between A319 and A318 are due to the reduced
length of the fuselage. There are several general structure changes.
The main differences are the laser beam welded structures and the vertical stabilizer fin tip extension.

VERTICAL STABILIZER
Compared with the current aircraft of the A320 family, the A318 vertical stabilizer fin tip is longer by 750 mm.
The new developed tip is completely made of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic
(GFRP). There is an additional fin leading edge panel. There is a new spar and
a new Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) adaptor box, between the fin
base and the fin tip.
The metallic rudder tip is longer by 100 mm in vertical direction. The rudder
trailing edge is increased in width by 50 mm.
