Airbus A380 Aircraft.

The A340 accommodates 555-seats and uses the same cockpit layout and operating procedures as the Airbus A320 and A330/A340. Making it at home to pilots already qualified on the A320 and A330/A340 class aircraft. (pictured is Mockup of Economy Class Seating areas)

The A380-800F will be the first commercial freighter with three full cargo decks and the capability to carry a 150 ton payload over distances of 5,600 nm.

Airbus has over 150+ on order as of the end of December 2005

A380-800 - Max cruising speed M 0.88. Long range cruising speed M 0.85. Range 14,800km (8,000nm). Service ceiling 43.000ft (13,100m). A380-800F - Range 10,370km (5,600nm).

4 RollsRoyce Trent 900 Engine at 374kN (84,000lb) thrust The Trent 900 from Rolls Royce is the largest Aero Engine built by Rolls Royce. It debut with the Airbus A380. SIA, Lufthansa, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas and Virgin Atlantic have also selected Trent-powered A380s. A diameter of 116 inches, the Trent 900 is physically the largest engine ever built by Rolls-Royce. It is also the world’s cleanest large turbofan engine, measured by emissions per pound of thrust.

GP7000 Engine: Being developed by the Alliance, a 50/50 joint venture between GE and Pratt & Whitney, the GP7000 will deliver unprecedented performance, reliability, and customer value to future Airbus A380 operators. Derived from the two most sucessful wide-body engine programs the GE90 and PW4000 the GP7000 is expected to deliver unpresidented performace, reliablity, environmental levels and value. The GP7200 will initially certify at 76,500 lb. (340 kN) of thrust and subsequently at 81,500 lb. (363 kN) of thrust. The GP7000 will offer 2 variants for various A380 configurations and take off weights. GP7270 for the 560 ton variant, and GP7277 for the 590 ton A380-800 freighter.
