Product details

In 1999, the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus initiated the A380 project to manufacture the world's first double-decker aircraft with a passenger seating capacity of more than 800. Airbus adopted a decentralised manufacturing process. The centres, which manufactured various parts, were spread out across Europe and the final assembly was done at Toulouse, France. Materials like composites and GLARE (glass laminated reinforced poxy), which reduced the overall weight of the aircraft, were used in the manufacture of the A380. The case details the design and manufacturing process of A380. It also highlights the technical features of the aircraft.
