	Super-jumbo set for maiden flight - at worldbookers.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		About 11 years and €10 billion ($13 billion) into the A380 program, the 555-seater "superjumbo" is set to heave its 280-metric ton frame aloft for the first time before 50,000 expected onlookers, both invited and uninvited.
		Airbus has warned the first flight, already about a month behind schedule, could be further delayed by any unforeseen weather conditions, particularly a change in the wind.
		On a maiden voyage, aviation experts say, risks remain very slim, since a plane's aerodynamic characteristics are already well known before it takes off, thanks to years of computer modeling and wind-tunnel tests.

	SpaceShipOne 2004
		Live transmissions of radio communications between the ground controllers and SpaceShipOne were supposed to be broadcast throughout the flight, but in the end this didn't materialize, perhaps because of the problems on the way up, and everyone on the ground was left wondering what was happening.
		For instance, today's flight into space is actually the fifteenth flight that SpaceShipOne has made, most of them as a glider, but others under its own power (it broke the speed of sound during its first powered flight, while climbing at a forty-five degree angle).
		At the top of its trajectory there isn't enough atmosphere to use normal aircraft flight surfaces to control the attitude of the craft, so cold gas jets are used to push it one way or the other.
