Flying Through Time: Aviation Masterpieces in Silver: Airbus A380
The largest passenger jet ever built, carrying between 500 to 800 passengers, with a cruising speed of 900 km/h. This true giant of the air is 73m in length, with a 79m wingspan, and total weight of 540,000kg. Designers claim it will actually increase efficiency, use less fuel & generate less noise. Qantas introduced the Airbus A380 to its fleet of commercial aircraft in late 2008. |
