A380

Simply Amazing!

The A380 takes off from Toulouse, France, with 474 passengers onboard for the first of four Early Long Flights. With a 239-foot-long fuselage (the length of eight London double-decker buses), a 262-foot wingspan (enough room to park 70 cars) and an engine thrust at takeoff equivalent to 2,500 cars, the A380 is longer, taller, wider and 118 tons heavier than the reigning heavyweight, Boeing's 747.

The cabin on the A380 upper deck gives more leg and elbow room for business class travelers.

Passengers on the world's largest passenger aircraft test out the fully reclining seats during a flight over France. The A380 Airbus can seat up to 840 people, and recently carried 200 journalists on the first flight for the news media.
