Airbus A380: Stiff Competition for Boeing
Yesterday's maiden flight of the new Airbus A380 giant jumbo was a complete success, according to the pilots and engineers who were on the plane for its four hour flight. The A380 took off from Toulouse, France and headed out over the Atlantic, with most of the flight over water for safety reasons. Depending on its seating configuration, the giant plane will seat as many as 800 passengers. Its 80 meter wingspan is the reason why 60 airports around the world are undergoing expansion to accommodate the new jet, which is scheduled to be delivered to its first customer, Singapore Airlines, next year.
