Wheel configuration on aircraft
It may have escaped your notice, but this particular A320 model boasts a distinctive dual bogie landing gear configuration. If you take a closer look at the main landing gear, you'll notice that unlike the typical A320s which are equipped with a single set of wheels, this aircraft is fitted with a pair of two-wheel assemblies.
The reason for opting for this type of gears was that back in the time, many Indian airport had lower classification number.
A classification number tells about the strength of the runway and amount of max weight it can handle.
As many Indian airports had lower classification number, Air India opted for this type of gears to distribute the aircraft load across all 4 wheels of the main landing gear.
This was the sole reason.
It was the first commercial airliner to introduce fly-by-wire control system. It works in the same way as a joystick in your PS4.
You will break the sidestick first but you can never pull off a barrel roll. A320 can never be flown out of it's designed limits. It was also the first commercial airliner to introduce a full flight envelope protection system. No matter how you move the sidestick the plane will never pitch up above 30° and pitch down above 15°. The bank limit is 66° so as I said no barrel roll.
You can virtually never stall an A320. If the angle of attack is too high and speed to low the plane automatically pitches down, but if the alternate law is activated the plane can be stalled.
