[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484634179382","data":"At an event in Toulouse, France, on January 18 2005 Airbus A380 was first unveiled. It was initially named Airbus A3XX manufactured by European Union manufacturer Airbus which challenged the Boeing's monopoly in the large-aircraft market. It was designed by four teams; A\u00e9rospatiale, British Aerospace, Deutsche Aerospace AG, CASA partnered with Airbus to facilitate a collaboration of new technologies. It was an after-mark of most competitive designs from them. Here is what makes Airbus A380 makes it unbeatable. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484637279697","data":"1. The Airbus A380 is a four engine jet airliner; the A380 is available with two types of turbofan engines, the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 or the Engine Alliance GP7000, noise reduction noise reduction was an important requirement in the A380 design, and particularly affects engine design. Both engine types allow the aircraft to achieve well under the Quota Count 2 departure and Quota Count 0.5 arrival noise limit. The A380 has electrically actuated thrust reversers, giving them better reliability than their pneumatic or hydraulic equivalents, in addition to saving weight. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484645148808","data":"587de360032e6"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484639024865","data":"2.The range of the Airbus A380 is 15200 km where as the average range for any aircraft is 6000- 8000 km. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484645222696","data":"587de39b2e3df"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484639368681","data":"3. A key A380 innovation is the use of an electronic library to largely replace the traditional paper documentation used by pilots. This library allows flight and maintenance crews to easily locate relevant operational information in the various flight manuals, lists and logbooks, also enabling an improvisation of performance and weight-and-balance computations.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484645236279","data":"587de401579fb"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484640044437","data":"4. Apart from setting a benchmark for new passenger comfort standards, the A380 is also raising the bar for environmental standards with its low fuel consumption as well as reduced carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. It burns 17% less fuel than other large airplanes. It consumes 4 liter of fuel in 100km per passenger.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484645505982","data":"587de4b6cbac0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484640187932","data":"5. Brake to Vacate  is additional software planned by Airbus for incorporation on its line of airliners, intended to reduce runway overruns. It reduces the occupancy time by 30 percent. A more tangible benefit is the increased ability to exit the runway at a specified turnoff point. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484645891955","data":"587de63715f90"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484640934086","data":"6. The operating cost offered by the A 380 as compared to competing large airliner is 15 percent lower, owing to incorporation of latest and advanced material and structures; advanced aluminium alloys for the wing and fuselage, along with the extensive application of composite materials in the center wing box\u2019s primary structure, wing ribs, and rear fuselage section.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484645800461","data":"587de5dcbec21"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484642898235","data":" 7.  8000 bolts are used to attach the three main parts of the aircraft. In total an A380 comprises of 4 million individual components, produced by 1500 companies, in 30 different countries.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484645722757","data":"587de590ee552"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484643252349","data":"8. Enhanced onboard central maintenance system and variable frequency generators which simplify the large aircraft\u2019s electrical generation network. It has a massive wiring, about 320 miles. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484644162633","data":"587ddf799dc83"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484643434431","data":"9. The A380 cockpit\u2019s 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 \u2013 particularly during the approach and landing phases. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1484644214752","data":"587ddfe39f162"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1484644059041","data":"10.
