Airbus A380 - Giant Of The Skies Part 1

The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus, a subsidiary of EADS. The largest passenger airliner in the world, the A380 made its maiden flight on 27 April 2005 from Toulouse, France, and made its first commercial flight on 25 October 2007 from Singapore to Sydney with Singapore Airlines. The aircraft was known as the Airbus A3XX during much of its development phase, but the nickname Superjumbo has since become associated with it.

The A380's upper deck extends along the entire length of the fuselage, and its width is equivalent to that of a widebody aircraft. This allows for an A380-800's cabin with 5,146 square feet (478.1 m2) of floor space; 49% more floor space than the current next-largest airliner, the Boeing 747-400 with 3,453 square feet (320.8 m2), and provides seating for 525 people in a typical three-class configuration or up to 853 people in all-economy class configurations. The A380-800 has a design range of 15,200 km (8,200 nmi; 9,400 mi), sufficient to fly from New York to Hong Kong for example, and a cruising speed of Mach 0.85 (about 900 km/h or 560 mph at cruising altitude).

THAK YOU FOR UPLNDING THIS

@rb21122b Rolls-Royce is my favorite engine brand, I prefer RR over GE and PW but I hate how RR engines have alot of problems, like the Trent 800 throttle jammed on BA 777, 900 exploded on QF32, the Cathay A330 Trent 700 engine failures. I think RR should improve Trent engines, with higher bypass ratio, better fuel efficiency and also put teeth patterns on the engine exhaust like the GEnx and Trent 1000 on 787s, and armor protection on engine cover to contain explosions

@JundaComputersGmbH No. At 0:03 it was a RR Trent 900 which Qantas still uses on their A380's. The Trent 900 has a pointy cone with a spiral mark, and the EA GP7200's have a rounded one with an off-set mark.

0:03 GP7200

0:05 Qantas

Did Qantas really re-engine their Rolls-Royce Trent 900 powered A380s to Engine Alliance GP7200 engines instead? After Qantas Flight 32 Rolls-Royce engine explosion?
