Introduction: The Airbus A380 is the world’s largest passenger plane. This super jumbo jet can carry up to 853 passengers.
A380 is installed with the very latest technology.
The development of new A380-900 could carry up to 900 passengers in economy-only configuration.

Aim of producing Airbus A380: Carry more passenger
Frugality with fuel consumption
Reducing the weight of the aircraft
Reduce the maintenance cost of aircraft systems
Significantly reduced noise
Has more comfort

Material used to build A380:The materials used in Airbus A380 is particularly
innovative which reduces the weight of the A 380
by 800 kg.
About 25% of the A380 is made up of composites
About 22% carbon fibre reinforced plastics
About 3% of “Glare”
Environment Friendly Aircraft:
It burns 17% less fuel per
passenger compare to Boeing
747
The A380 is the first aircraft
produces only about 75g of CO2
per passenger kilometer which is
less than compare to a diesel car

The better take-off performance and lower approach speed reduce departure and arrival noise
The fuel consumption of A380 is very low fuel which is less than 3 liters per passenger per 100 kilometers.

Economics of Airbus A380:
A380 can carry a huge number of passenger
The seat-mile costs is 15 per cent lower than
today’s most efficient aircraft
The A380 will offer passengers luxury travel at
much more affordable prices
Research program could create more job
opportunities
Airbus A380 provides a new way to cope with air
traffic growth
Future of Airbus A380:
Airbus is always committed to build aircraft which is
most advance and environment friendly. Airbus has
successfully set up an innovative Environment
Management System aimed to improve the
environmental performance of the aircraft. To make
this possible it successfully complete a test flight by
using liquid fuel from gas (Gas to liquid) to evaluate the
impact of alternative fuel.
Airbus A380 is a real world solution for the
cleaner, quieter and smarter way to fly for its levels
of efficiency and environmental performance.
Conclusion :
The A380 represents the continuation of a long
line of technologically advanced Airbus aircraft and
introduces a step change in performance, comfort
standards, environmental friendliness and
efficiency.
