The Airbus A380 is a large wide-body airliner, developed and produced by Airbus until 2021. 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. Despite its challenges, the A380 is a great aircraft. The largest commercial aircraft ever built, it has undoubtedly been a significant milestone in aviation. With 251 aircraft ordered, the A380 has been far from a failure, but changing markets and improvements in twin-engine aircraft have made other aircraft more appealing. This guide takes an in-depth look at this incredible aircraft, from its origins to the possible future for it. It will also look at the aircraft design, configurations ... The A380 was the third Airbus aircraft to fly on 100% sustainable aviation fuel in a 12-month period. An A350 was the first in March 2021, followed by an A319neo in October 2021. The A380 is a truly unique aircraft in more ways than one, and will continue to fly our skies for years to come.
