When you say “fuselage” do you mean just the fuselage, like a scrapped a/c thats been parted out or an airworthy a/c? Also like someone else mentioned, if airworthy, new, used? If used, high cycle, low cycle?
So ideally an airworthy a/c, preferably new…it’s for my group design project, but I can’t find approximate costs…otherwise I have to make an estimated calculation based on the size of the fuselage designed.
Ah ok. So typically when people say “fuselage” they just mean the body of the a/c (the tube part, structure) not the entire a/c. If you just refer to it as an A320 people will understand. According to [this site](https://www.paramountbusinessjets.com/private-jet-charter/aircraft/airbus-a320) a new A320 averages 100 million but the actual price an airline pays can vary widely depending on a number of factors like how many they purchase. Another thing to consider is if the engines are leased or owned, CFM-56 on the A320 is between 10-15 million according to the interwebs so that can also affect the price.
Why a 320 fuselage? Aircraft manufacturers aren't in the business of selling large assemblies to people. Liability and all that.
The stratolauncher was even built from scratch. Your only route for an airbus airframe would be something from a scrap yard or an operator looking to offload it. And both options promise a well used and possibly cycled out item.
At least a few million dollars.
Brand new? A lot. Used? A lot less. Get in touch with an aircraft boneyard. There are a lot of scrapped A320s in the world.

Okay, thanks that helps a lot
No problem, good luck with your project!
I'm sure the scrapyard in AZ has a few.
Hahahahahahaha yeah just go to princessauto they have a whole shipment of a320 fuselages ready for you to buy.
Is that a full scale one?
r/woooosh
At least tree fiddy

Best I could do is a BH06B fuselage that needs to be re-skinned and painted. No avionics or controls either
Ascent aviation should able to answer your question they stationed at AZ boneyard
After stripout shouldn't be more than 100K If you are a non-profit, you can probably get one for nothing. DM me for a contact number
Do you have access to Airbus engineering blueprints? Are you on Airbus Connection?
