The Airbus A380 is a very large wide-body airliner, developed and produced by Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner and the only full-length double-deck jet airliner. Airbus studies started in 1988, and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long-haul market. The then-designated A3XX ...

The change was partly prompted by the development of the Airbus A380. [17] [18] The previous three wake turbulence categories were increased to six, by splitting Medium and Heavy into pairs, and adding a Super Heavy category for the Airbus A380. [19] Capacity gains of up to 8% were achieved. [17]

While the A380 superjumbo is enjoying a resurgence, its four-engined older sibling – the A340 – seems dangerously close to being grounded for good. The Airbus A340 airplane was built to rule ...
The engine is offered with two ratings appropriate for the various A380 configurations and take-off weights: GP7270 for the 560-tonne variant, and GP7277 for the 590 tonne A380-800 freighter (which was subsequently cancelled by Airbus). In mid-2011 an upgrade was announced which will lead to a cut in weight for each engine by 23 kg (51 lb).
Airbus said the engine location would reduce noise for passengers. JetZero initially plans to use similar engines to those currently in use on planes like the Boeing 737.
