Product Description
The first commercial flight of the Airbus A380 fast approaches—and rarely has a debut been so hotly debated and keenly anticipated. Tensions run high as airlines push for add-ons, manufacturers fret over weight and performance standards, and designers make the mundane but critical decisions over such details as seats and food-service carts that may well determine the success of this $13 billion project. This book provides a complete picture of the Airbus A380, as well as a revealing behind-the-scenes look at the development of the biggest commercial aircraft ever built. With 200 color photos, Airbus A380: Superjumbo of the 21st Century takes readers through the drama of the A380 project, introducing all the key players and unraveling the controversies surrounding its development, from battles over construction materials and on-board technologies to alleged mudslinging by Boeing and other competitors.

Product Description
In the Super Bowl of the airline industry, there are two opposing sides: Airbus of Europe versus Boeing of America. Both sides have only one goal – to become the world’s leading aircraft maker. This is the remarkable account of Airbus’ launch of the largest passenger plane ever to fly, how they risked everything in a heavyweight contest, where the money is staggering and the political stakes are high.
The Airbus A380 will be a monster above the clouds with gyms, nightclubs and a 550 passenger capacity compared to Boeing Dreamliner’s 200-350. Will the A380 super-jumbo succeed when it is launched in 2006? With Boeing determined that it will fail, it is up to the dealmakers and geo-politics to decide its fate. From technological winners to global prestige, this amazing story of rivalry and risk is a fascinating insight to both sides in this mighty war, their rise to power and the final steps to take-off.
