17. The Wright
Brothers – First
Flight, 1903
-December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered
airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The
flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Three more flights
were made that day with Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the
record flight lasting 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet.
Experimentation on flight in 1896 at their bicycle shop in Dayton,
Ohio. They selected the beach at Kitty Hawk as their proving
ground because of the constant wind that added lift to their craft.
In 1902 they came to the beach with their glider and made more
than 700 successful flights.
Having perfected glided flight, the next step was to move to
powered flight. No automobile manufacturer could supply an
engine both light enough and powerful enough for their needs. So
they designed and built their own.

18. Channels for the Birth of A-380
• To gain a strategic advantage
over its arch rival Boeing
• To enter into the VLA segment
of the aircraft industry
• Change from the Point to Point
Structure to Hub and Spoke
Structure.

19. FEATURES
• Double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner
• Largest Passenger Aircraft.
• Capable of Carrying 853 Passengers.
• The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, four-engine airliner manufactured
by the European corporation Airbus.
• The A380 has approximately 633 sq m of cabin area, the upper deck
has 300 sq m and the main deck has 333 sq m.
• The A380's upper deck extends along the entire length of the
fuselage. This allows for a cabin with 50% more floor space and
provides seating for 555 people in standard three-class configuration.
• There are ten fuel tanks with a capacity of 1,31,000L of fuel. Refueling
can be carried out in 40mins.

27. The Business Class Interior-
A380 offers new levels of comfort with wider
seats, individual armrests and extra legroom.
Business class seats are about 1 inch wider
than Economy class.
The Economy Class Interior –
Offering about a third more seating and far
more available space than its closet
competitor 747, A380 have wider seats and
open space for passengers to stretch their
legs. 27

28. With twin decks running along the length of the plane, there are staircases at the
front and rear.

31. •The A380 produces 50% less cabin noise than a 747 and has higher
cabin air pressure; both features are expected to reduce the effects of
travel fatigue.
•The upper and lower decks are connected by two stairways, wide
enough to accommodate two passengers side-by-side.
•In a 555-passenger configuration, the A380 has 33% more seats than a
747 and 50% more cabin area and volume resulting in more space per
passenger.
•Compared to a 747, the A380 has larger windows and 2 feet of extra
headroom. The wider cabin allows for 19 inch wide economy seats
instead of 17 inch seats on a 747.
• Enhanced acoustic treatment

34. OPTIMISED LANDING PERFORMANCE
• Airbus introduced its innovative Brake to
Vacate technology on the A380, which allows
the flight crew to more effectively manage the
approach and landing and to pre-select the
optimum runway exit. This can reduce
runway occupancy time by up to 30 per cent –
significantly increasing the number of aircraft
that can be handled by the world’s airports.
34

35. ADVANCED MATERIALS
• Operating cost per passenger that is 15 per cent lower
than the competing large airliner.
• Use of advanced aluminium alloys for the wing and
fuselage
• Composite materials in the centre wing box’s primary
structure, wing ribs, and rear fuselage section
• A380 also uses Glare™ material in the pressurised
fuselage’s upper and lateral shells. Glare™ is a
laminate incorporating alternate layers of aluminium
alloy and glass fibre reinforced adhesive. This offers a
significant reduction in weight and provides very good
fatigue and damage resistance characteristics.
35

36. • Hydraulic power is provided by two fully
independent systems with an operating
pressure of 5,000 psi., instead of the
conventional 3,000 psi. This higher pressure
results in smaller and lighter hydraulic system
equipment, as well as less hydraulic fluid on
board.
36

37. A NEW-GENERATION FLIGHT DECK
• A380 cockpit’s main
instrument panel has eight
identical large interactive
displays, with cursor control
provided through a track-ball.
These displays provide a much
larger screen area with clearer
presentations, augmented by a
HUD (head-up display) that
increases pilot situational
awareness – particularly during
the approach and landing
phases.
Airbus used similar cockpit layout, procedures and handling
characteristics to those of other Airbus aircraft, to reduce crew training
costs. Accordingly, the A380 features an improved glass cockpit and
displays 15-by-20 cm liquid crystal displays.

50. Varients
• Improved A380-800
A380 build standard incorporating a strengthened
air frame structure and a 1.5° increase in wing
twist. Airbus will also offer, as an option, an
improved maximum take-off weight, thus providing
a better payload/range performance. Maximum
take-off weight is increased by 4 t (8,800 lb), to
573 t (1,263,000 lb) and an additional 100 nautical
miles (190 km) in range
50

51. A380-900[
• the A380-900, with more seating space than
the A380-800. This version would have
a seating capacity for 650 passengers in
standard configuration, and approximately
900 passengers in an economy-only
configuration.
51

52. A380F
Airbus originally accepted orders for the
freighter version, offering the largest payload
capacity of any cargo aircraft in production,
aerospace consultant has estimated that the
A380F would have 7% better payload and better
range than the 747-8F, but also higher trip costs
52

53. Incidents and accidents
The A380 has been involved in one aviation occurrence and
no hull loss accidents with no fatalities as of August 2014
On 4 November 2010, Qantas Flight 32, route from Singapore
Changi Airport to Sydney Airport, suffered an uncontained
engine failure, resulting in a series of related problems, and
forcing the flight to return to Singapore. There were no injuries
to the passengers, crew or people on the ground despite.
Investigators later determined the cause of the explosion to be
an oil leak in the Trent 900 engine.

55. Airbus on Indian Soil
•The arrival of A380 made a history as it landed first time on the Indian
soil. The Airbus A380 stayed in India from 7th to 10th May 2007.
•The runway was not wide enough for the mammoth double-decker, but
airport officials cleaned up the grass shoulders along the sides to make
way for the jet's wings, which span nearly a football field.
•Airlines in India also have been skeptical about the pace of
modernization at major airports in the country, which are currently not
equipped to accommodate the A380. Airports in New Delhi and Mumbai
are expected to be ready with new runways by 2010 that can handle the
super jumbo aircraft.
