Airbus A380 is a four-engine, 550-seat super-large long-range wide-body passenger plane developed and produced by European Airbus Industry Company. Airbus A380 was the largest passenger plane when it was put into production, and it was known as the Airbus giant.
It made its maiden voyage on April 27th, 2005, and made its first commercial flight on October 25th, 2007/KLOC-0. On July 9th, 2009, Singapore Airlines made its first flight A380 from Singapore to Hong Kong. On 20th/KOOC-0//KOOC-0//KOOC-0/0June/KOOC-0/7th, A380 aircraft officially carried out the first passenger flight in Chinese mainland, making its maiden flight from Beijing to Guangzhou. 2065438+On March 1 2002, the third A380 of China Southern Airlines landed smoothly at Beijing Capital International Airport, and officially put into operation the Beijing-Hong Kong route on March 2.
Airbus A380 has an advantage in single passenger capacity. Under the typical third-class (first class-business class-economy class) layout, it can carry 525 passengers. Airbus A380 is regarded by Airbus as its "flagship" product in 2 1 century. After the A380 was put into use, it broke the 35-year record of Boeing 747 in the field of long-range super-large wide-body aircraft, ended the 30-year monopoly position of Boeing 747 in the market, and became the civil aircraft with the largest passenger capacity (although the aircraft with the largest passenger capacity is still Antonov's An -225 Dreamliner).
Airbus A380 uses more composite materials to improve its aerodynamic performance, and uses a new generation of engines, advanced wings and landing gear. Lighten aircraft weight, reduce fuel consumption and emissions, and reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions per kilometer. The operating cost is reduced, and the cabin environment of A380 aircraft is closer to nature. The noise of a passenger plane during takeoff can reach the standard stipulated by the current noise control standard (ICAO), which is much lower. A380 is the first long-range aircraft with a fuel consumption of less than 3 liters per passenger (seat)/100 kilometers (this ratio is equivalent to the fuel consumption of an economical family car).
