Airbus A380 Cabin
Airbus
continues to develop the A380 cabin to provide travelers with spacious and
comfortable interiors that enable its operators to stay on top of elegant air
travel. Including
passenger-designed cabins, many A380 operators take advantage of the aircraft's
unique space to provide superior comfort in every part - from broad economy
class to modern Airbus comfort standards from 18-inch wide seats to the latest
deals for business travelers and first-class travelers.
Passenger comfort is enhanced by a variety of advanced technologies equipped on the Airbus A380, including modern lighting systems and new standards of in-flight entertainment.

Cabin
air is recycled every two minutes to keep the atmosphere fresh, while natural
light is provided by 220 cabin windows. Six high-level air outlets - as opposed
to two industry standards - keep customers fresh during all phases of flight.
Designed for modern comfort standards, the A380 meets the requirements of passengers traveling in all service classes - today and into the future. With standard 18-inch standard Airbus seats in the economy, as well as the latest in business and first-class options, the efficient A380 offers the perfect space to be who you are.

Coupled with optimal cabin height, the widest main deck cabin gives 15 percent more personal space for passenger storage, larger headroom and wider stairs - all creating a friendly environment that is perfect for helping you enjoy flights. The A380's built-in flexibility allows airlines to differentiate their products and develop solutions for a variety of markets.
Airbus A380 Seats
The
Airbus A380 layout with 519 seats is
displayed (First 16, 92 Business and 411 Economy). The Airbus 380 has two full decks of 49.9 meters
(164 feet), although the upper deck has a usable length that is slightly
reduced at 44.93 meters (147.4 feet) due to the curvature of the front body and
the front ladder. The width of the main deck and upper deck are 6.50 meters
(21.3 feet) and 5.80 meters (19.0 feet) respectively.
Passenger
capacity varies with the seat configuration chosen by the operating airline.
While the Airbus A380 is certified for 868 passengers in one class
configuration (538 on the main deck and 330 above), Airbus refers to the
configuration of 544 three-class passengers who are comfortable in their
marketing material. However, only Air France approached that figure in a
three-class configuration, with 538 seats (First 9, 80 Businesses and 449
Economies).
From aircraft currently operating, passenger capacity ranges from 379 (4 class layout on Singapore Airlines) to 615 passengers (2 class layout at Emirates). From the end of 2015, Emirates began operating aircraft that housed 615 passengers in two classes for the Copenhagen route, the most visible, replacing the smaller Boeing 777. Overall, 15 aircraft will use this configuration. Airbus offers 11 parallel seats for shipping in 2017.

Airbus A380 Cockpit
The Airbus A380 cockpit is based on the leading
flight deck design in the Airbus industry for families of fly-by-wire jetliner featuring
the latest advances in cockpit technology, including larger interactive
screens, advanced flight management systems, and enhanced navigation modes.
The Airbus A380 main instrument panel incorporates
eight identical and interchangeable Liquid Crystal Display Units, providing the
main flight display, navigation display, two multi-function displays, engine
warning display and system display. Increased screen size provides a
perspective enhancement for pilots and allows for an enhanced presentation mode
as a function of awareness of vertical situations that present "vertical cut"
of aircraft trajectories that combine flight paths, terrain, and weather
information.
The key to the Airbus A380 innovation is the use
of electronic libraries to replace most of the traditional paper documentation
used by pilots. This library allows flight and maintenance crews to easily find
relevant operational information in various flight guides, lists and notebooks.
This enables optimization of performance and calculation of weight and balance.
Airbus introduces the innovative Rem To Vacate
technology on the A380 that allows flight crews to manage approaches and
landings more effectively by choosing the optimal start of the runway. This can
reduce takeoff time by up to 30 percent significantly increasing the number of
aircraft that can be handled by world airports.
By including the latest advances in structure and
material. The Airbus A380 offers the lowest cost per seat for each wide body
aircraft, more than 15 percent lower than its closest competitor. This includes
the use of advanced aluminum alloys for wings and fuselage, along with the
application of broad composite materials in the main structure of the middle
wing box, wing ribs, and rear body parts.
The A380 also uses Glare™ material on the top and
lateral pressurized fighter planes. Glare™ is a laminate that combines
alternative layers of aluminum alloy and glass fiber reinforced adhesives, with
properties optimized by adjusting the number of layers and orientation of the
glass tape. It offers significant weight loss and provides characteristics of
fatigue resistance and continued damage.
Airbus A380 Engines
Two new generation engine options (the GP7200 and
Rolls-Royce Trent 900 Alliance engines), combined with the sophistication of
wing design and gear landing, make the Airbus A380 much quieter than the
largest aircraft currently.
The new wing design with composite material only
accounts for 25 percent of its structural weight, the A380 is the most
efficient aircraft around it. By only producing around 75 grams of CO2
per kilometer passenger, the A380 helps the airline industry's commitment to
minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
The reliability and maintenance of the A380 is
increasingly enhanced by modern technology, including improved central
maintenance systems and variable frequency generators that simplify large
aircraft power generation networks. Hydraulic power is provided by two fully
independent systems with operating pressures of 5,000 psi, not conventional
3,000 psi. This capacity for higher pressure results in smaller and lighter
hydraulic system equipment, as well as less hydraulic fluid on the aircraft,
which proves how Airbus innovation continues to provide efficiency in every
field of design and manufacture of aircraft.
