Airbus's newest concept would be a stretch of the A380-800 offering 50 seats more—not 100 seats as originally envisaged. This stretch would be tied to a potential re-engining of the A380-800. According to Flight Global, an A380-900 would make better use of the A380's existing wing. [294]
The A380-800 layout with 519 seats displayed (16 First, 92 Business and 411 Economy) The Airbus A380 features two full-length decks, each measuring 49.9 metres (164 ft). The upper deck has a slightly shorter usable length of 44.93 metres (147.4 ft) due to the front fuselage curvature and the staircase.
A330-200 in flight. Airbus aircraft designs after the A300/A310 are almost completely controlled by fly-by-wire equipment. These newer aircraft, including the A320, A330, A340, A350 and A380 operate under Airbus flight control laws. [7] The flight controls on the Airbus A330, for example, are all electronically controlled and hydraulically ...
The side-stick is used in many modern military fighter aircraft, such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, Mitsubishi F-2, Dassault Rafale, and F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning 2, Chengdu J-20, AIDC F-CK 1 Ching-Kuo and also on civil aircraft, such as the Sukhoi Superjet 100, Airbus A320 and all subsequent Airbus aircraft, [2] including the largest passenger jet in service, the Airbus A380.
The European Aviation Safety Agency certified the system, initially for use on the Airbus A380, in 2009. [1] The second Airbus product to incorporate BTV will be the Airbus A320 family, which is much more widely used around the world than the A380. However, an A320 BTV system would be more modest, since its flight computer does not incorporate ...
The engine was ground run for the first time on an A380 on August 14, 2006, in Toulouse. [5] On August 25, 2006, the same aircraft, A380-861 test aircraft (MSN 009), made the first flight of an Engine Alliance powered A380. The flight began and ended at Toulouse and lasted about four hours. Tests were performed on the engines' flight envelope ...
The Rolls-Royce Trent 900 is a high-bypass turbofan produced by Rolls-Royce plc to power the Airbus A380, competing with the Engine Alliance GP7000.Initially proposed for the Boeing 747-500/600X in July 1996, [2] this first application was later abandoned but it was offered for the A3XX, [3] launched as the A380 in December 2000.

Both the new Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 have FANS-1/A capability. ATC services are now provided to FANS 1/A equipped aircraft in other oceanic airspaces, such as the North Atlantic. However, although many of FANS-1/A's known deficiencies with respect to its use in high density airspace were addressed in later versions of the product (FANS-1/A+ ...
