	Airbus A380 Aircraft Family - The A380
		Airbus’ 21st century flagship introduces a new era of airline transportation, carrying 525 passengers aboard the most advanced, spacious and efficient aircraft ever conceived.
		The A380 Airport Planning manual, which is issued for the A380-800 passenger aircraft and A380-800F freighter, provides preliminary data needed by airport operators and airlines for airport facilities planning.
		Airbus, an EADS Company, is a leading aircraft manufacturer with the most modern and comprehensive product line.

	Airbus A380 ends Boeing's reign - The Boston Globe
		The double-decker A380 ends the nearly 37-year reign of Boeing's 747 as the most spacious passenger plane.
		Its European manufacturer, Airbus SAS, says the A380 is the most fuel efficient and quietest passenger jet ever.
		The A380 - as tall as a seven-story building with each wing big enough to hold 70 cars - is capable of carrying 853 passengers in an all-economy class configuration.

	Airbus A380
		The A380 can carry 35 per cent more passengers than its closest rival, and with nearly 50 percent more floor space there is far more room for passengers to stretch their legs, standard seating is around 1" (2.5 cm) wider than most other airliners.
		Airbus designed the A380 in collaboration with some 60 major airports, to help integrate the aircraft into normal passenger service as smoothly as possible.
		The area the A380 is destined to excel is in long haul flights, where the usual feeling of being a battery chicken will be replaced with a luxurious flying experience.

		The double-decker A380 is seen as a make-or-break project for Airbus which vies with its only rival Boeing for leadership of the global market for large commercial jets.
		The A380, the world's largest airliner, is due to be delivered to its first customer Singapore Airlines by the end of 2006 after two sets of delays totalling a year.
		Airbus is working on a rival aircraft, the A350, to catch up with buoyant sales of the mid-sized Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

		But the A380, which was partially funded by European governments, amounts to a huge bet that carriers need ever-bigger planes to process a growing numbers of passengers through the busiest hub airports.
		Airbus is investing $13 billion to develop the plane, which has a list price of $280 million apiece.
		Airbus already has 149 orders for the A380, which has a 262-foot wingspan and a tail as tall as a seven-story building.

		Airbus first began studies on a very large 500 seat airliner in the early 1990s.
		Airbus studied numerous design configurations for the A3XX and gave serious consideration to a single deck aircraft which would have seated 12 abreast and twin vertical tails.
		The A380 features an advanced version of the Airbus common two crew cockpit, with pull-out keyboards for the pilots, extensive use of composite materials such as GLARE (an aluminium/glass fibre composite), and four 302 to 374kN (68,000 to 84,000lb) class Rolls-Royce Trent 900 or Engine Alliance (General Electric/Pratt & Whitney) GP7200 turbofans now under development.

	Airbus A380 aircraft airliner facts & pictures
		The A380 features an all-new wing design after it was found the A340 wing was too small to be efficient at the sort of gross weights required for a 600 seat aircraft and rather than settle for a 600 tonne wing design instead aimed the wing design at 750 tonnes.
		The rationale for this design is that Airbus will be able to produce bigger versions of the A380 which will reach their optimum cost-efficiency somewhere around the 700 to 800 passenger mark — close to twice the size of a 747-400.
		While the A380 was being sold to the airlines, Boeing shopped the concept of the 747X, which was to be a version of the 747 with the "hump" at the front of the aircraft extended further back for more passenger room but failed to garner enough interest from the airlines.

		Airbus initially planned about fifteen months of flight test- ing, but shortly after the first flight they acknowledged that the airplane would not be ready for formal certifica- tion and commercial service until the end of 2006, re- sulting in delays of six months or more for initial deliver- ies.
		The A380 is the first commercial airliner with a central wing box made of carbon fiber re- inforced plastic, and it is the first to have a wing cross section that is smoothly contoured.
		Airbus initially stated that the test article represented an early design, and that the load requirement would be verified by analysis of changes already made.

		Mega-Jumbo Airbus A380 Lands in New York, L.A. NEW YORK -- The Airbus A380 – the world’s largest passenger plane – made a U.S. debut today that was as outsize as its girth.
		Airbus carefully choreographed the twin landings to showcase the oft-questioned readiness of major international airports to accommodate the double-decker giant.
		In New York, Airbus officials were candid about their hopes that landing in the world’s media capital would help stem the flow of bad news: Last fall’s pushback of the delivery schedule led to the ouster of several top executives and is costing the company millions in late fees to the launch customers.

		The A380, with a catalogue price of $282 million, represents a huge bet by Airbus that airlines will need plenty of large aircraft to transport passengers between ever-busier hub airports.
		But Airbus CEO Noel Forgeard played down Boeing's recent orders and the 787's development lead, saying the battle for the market in smaller planes would be fought out over 20 years, not two.

		The Airbus A380 was developed in response to the growing problems of airport congestion and air traffic control systems struggling to cope with the number of aircraft in operation.
		The internal layout of the A380 is of typical configuration with passengers seated on the two upper decks and cargo located on the lower deck.
		Airbus has also proposed configuring some cargo compartments as shops, lounges, or even casinos, although economy-minded airlines are unlikely to adopt such gimics.
