Largest Metal Bird in the Sky

History was created yesterday during the first test flight of Airbus A380. The A380's take-off weight, at 421 tonnes, was the greatest take-off weight of any aircraft in the world. Boasting of superior technology than any other passenger aircraft the A380 promises to bring about a revoultion in Long Range Flights. Describing the First Flight Test to be a comprehensive success Noël Forgeard, Airbus president and CEO, said he and Charles Champion, executive vice president for the A380 programme, were “extremely proud of everyone who made this happen”. A true double deck airline the A380 is like a cruise ship of the sky! A result of absolutely marvelous engineering the A380 has given the Europeans a truly big leap and paved the way into the future. With already lots of deals signed up with customers accross the globe for both passenger and cargo versions, the A380 should hit the markets by early 2006.

Hats off to A380 team! Hope to fly one of these monsters Soon!!
