2. Introduction: The Airbus A380 is the world’s largest passenger plane. This super jumbo jet can carry up to 853 passengers. A380 is installed with the very latest technology. The A380’s construction and development has set of commitment to constructive ways towards greener skies. Fig 1: Airbus A380 (creativeandjokes)

3. Aim of producing Airbus A380: Carry more passenger More quite plane Frugality with fuel consumption Longer range Reducing the weight of the aircraft Reduce the maintenance cost of aircraft systems Significantly reduced noise Has more comfort

4. Material used to build A380: The materials used in Airbus A380 is particularly innovative which reduces the weight of the A 380 by 800 kg.. About 25% of the A380 is made up of composites About 22% carbon fibre reinforced plastics About 3% of “Glare” Glare is a laminate of alternative layer of Aluminium which is used in civilian aircraft for the first time. Glare has higher fatigue strength and it is also lighter than aluminium.

5. Environment Friendly Aircraft: It burns 17% less fuel per passenger compare to Boeing 747 The A380 is the first aircraft produces only about 75g of CO2 per passenger kilometer which is less than compare to a diesel car The Airbus A380 is one of the quietest long-range aircraft in the world, despite its size Figure 2: Airbus A380 (ualityjunkyard.com)

6. The better take-off performance and lower approach speed reduce departure and arrival noise The fuel consumption of A380 is very low fuel which is less than 3 liters per passenger per 100 kilometers. Environment Friendly Aircraft: Source: Airbus

7. Economics of Airbus A380: A380 can carry a huge number of passenger The seat-mile costs is 15 per cent lower than today’s most efficient aircraft The A380 will offer passengers luxury travel at much more affordable prices Research program could create more job opportunities Airbus A380 provides a new way to cope with air traffic growth Reduced need for expansion of airports

8. Future of Airbus A380: Airbus is always committed to build aircraft which is most advance and environment friendly. Airbus has successfully set up an innovative Environment Management System aimed to improve the environmental performance of the aircraft. To make this possible it successfully complete a test flight by using liquid fuel from gas (Gas to liquid) to evaluate the impact of alternative fuel. According to Airbus the development of new A380-900 could carry up to 900 passengers in economy-only configuration.

9. Airbus A380 is a real world solution for the cleaner, quieter and smarter way to fly for its levels of efficiency and environmental performance. Conclusion : The A380 represents the continuation of a long line of technologically advanced Airbus aircraft and introduces a step change in performance, comfort standards, environmental friendliness and efficiency.
