Here’s a riddle for you: What do the towns of Sedona in


the state of Arizona, and Traverse City in Michigan and
Bozeman in Montana all have in common? Answer: Each
of these American towns has a population of less than 100
people. Also, the total population of all these three towns
(less than 300) is actually less than the number of people
that just one Airbus A380 can carry: 525 people. This is
because the Airbus A380 is the largest passenger plane in
the world.

The 525 people that an Airbus can carry includes first class
and business class (which take a lot of space in the
airplane) - in addition to economy class. However, if there
were only economy class seats, then the airbus could carry
an amazing 853 passengers. It can do this because there is
both a ‘downstairs’ and an ‘upstairs’ on the plane, and
also because the plane is very wide. The main cabin deck
of the Airbus, for example, is more than 21 feet wide,
while that of the older Boeing 747 is only 19 feet. That’s a
difference of about ten percent. You might think that a
plane this big couldn’t fly very fast, but, if you did, you
would be wrong. It can fly at about 900 km per hour,
which is close to the speed of sound. It can also fly very
long distances non-stop. For example, it can fly the 14,200
km from Dubai to New Zealand without landing even
once! When you are a passenger on a flight like this,
perhaps your only major concern might be jet lag.

Since April 27, 2005 (when the Airbus made its first flight)
more than 200 of these planes have been made. The
airline companies that have bought most of these aircraft
are, Emirates Airlines (UAE), Singapore Airlines (Singapore)
and Lufthansa (Germany). There are plans to make and
sell more than 100 additional planes. If you are thinking of
buying one of them, you can contact the French company
that makes them. All you need is US$432.6 million. But
hurry! Due to the high cost of manufacturing just one
plane, production of the A380 will stop in 2021.
