What is the Airbus A380 wing made of?
A mixture of high grade Aluminum and 20% composite materials
What is the wing span of the Airbus A380?
the airbus has a wing span of 99.8 metres ! huge! it s longer than the airbus itself! wow
Is Airbus trying to make a plaine bigger than the a380?
No Airbus is not trying to make an plane bigger that the A380 but Boeing is. search blended wing on Google.
How many landing gears used in airbus A380?
The Airbus A380 has 22 wheels. Two smaller 'auxiliary' wheels on a single strut at the front, two sets of under-wing 4-wheel struts and two sets of fuselage mounted six-wheel struts.
What materials were used to make the Airbus A380?
http://www.aerospace-technology.com/projects/a380/ In order to minimise the unladen weight, the Airbus 380 structures incorporate a range of new materials as used on the A318 and A340 families of aircraft. Carbon fibre reinforced plastic is used for the central box of the wings, the horizontal stabilisers (which are the same size as the Airbus A310 wing), the fin, the rear fuselage section and for ceiling beams. A new material, Glare, that is highly resistant to fatigue is used in the construction of the panels for the upper fuselage. The aluminum and fibreglass layers of Glare do not allow propagation of cracks, it is much lighter than conventional materials and represents a weight saving of about 500kg in the construction. Impact resistant thermoplastics are used on the wing leading edge. The aircraft has 16 wing spoilers supplied by Patria of Finland.
Which will be the largest airplane after Airbus A380?
The worlds top 7 largest aircraft: 1. An-225 Mriya 2. Airbus A380, 3. Boeing 747-400ER 4. An-124 Ruslan 5. C-5 Galaxy 6. Airbus A340-600 HGW 7. Boeing 777-300ER 8. And the Next Largest Plane may be the Boeing 797 Blended-Wing Aircraft. This looks like a flying wing but is actually a blended wing. The mammoth plane will have a wing span of 265 feet compared to the 747's 211 feet, and is designed to fit within the newly created terminals used for the 555 seat Airbus A380, which is 262 feet wide.

How strong are aircraft wings?
very strong, they can hold up to 8 tonnes on each wing (look at the airbus A380). they are so strong because they are made up of hundreds of components inside the wing.
Why does Airbus a 380 not have winglets?
Winglets have typically been added to existing wing designs to increase the total lift and reduce the vertices created by the wing tip. Airports expressed a desire for wingspans not to exceed 80m as this would cause major problems with gate and taxiway designs. The Airbus A380 has a wingspan of 79.65m, so adding winglets would not have been an option and the wing was also designed from scratch to reduce the aerodynamic need. To reduce the wing tip vortices, the A380 wing has 'wing tip fences', small vertical wings that extend above and below the wing tip.
How many static discharge wicks are there on an A380?
There are 5 static discharge wicks on each wing of an Airbus A380 aircraft, for a total of 10 wicks on the entire plane. These wicks are designed to safely dissipate static electricity that builds up during flight.
Where was the Airbus A380 first produced?
The airbus A380 was produced from pieces over Western Europe. The wings and cockpit was made in England, the engines were made in Germany along with the main body. I believe everything was put together in Germany. Other European countries contributed in ways of money or small pieces like part of the tail wing, wheels etc.
What is the biggestr plane ever?
the airbus A380-it can hold up to about 800 passengers-it is a full double decked-four jetted plane (two jet engines on each wing((two wings)))
Is the Airbus Beluga bigger than the A380?
The A380 is considerably bigger than the Beluga (A300-600ST). The following dimensions are for the Beluga / A380; Length : 56m / 73m Wingspan : 45m / 80m Height : 17m / 24m Wing area : 122m2 / 845 m2 Fuselage diameter : 4m / 7m Weight empty 86t / 276t Maximum take-off weight : 155t / 560t
