  3. 1. Information about the project

  4. 1. Information about the project • History, development and production • The development began in 1980. • There were 50 orders in the year 2000. • The first prototype was presented to the public on January 18th 2005. • Another exemplar was built only for long-run tests, investigations and experimentation.These tests will last until 2008. • Airbus planned to hand out the first airliners to "Singapore Airlines" in December 2006.But because of a delay in delivery Airbus couldn't keep the appointment of December 2006.The new deadline will be October 2007. • Munich is the first European airport which is allowed to handle the new super Airbus. • On October 29th in 2005, the first tests of dispatch (Abfertigung) began in Frankfurt. • The First Flight took part in Toulouse on April 27th in 2005.

  5. 1. Information about the project Who constructs which part? The locations of production: Varel (D) and St. Nazaire (F): The fuselage (Rumpf) Stade (D): The rudder (Seitenleitwerk) Toulouse (F) and Hamburg: The fly-by-wire-system and the avionics(Flugsteuerung) Getafe (GB): The elevator (Höhenleitwerk) Broughton (GB): The wings (Flügel) • The several parts are transported by ship, heavy load or by an aircraft like the "Beluga". • All components are assembled in Toulouse, from where the airliner will be sold. • The Beluga, a means of transportation for an aircraft.

  6. Many visitors went to Toulouse to watch the spectacle 1. Information about the project The different versions of the A380-800 • Current versions: • A version for passengers (A380-800) • A version for cargo (A380-800F)

  7. + 9 ? 141 17 1. Information about the project The orders of the new airliner • A graphic that shows the orders of the new Airbus

  8. 1. Information about the project Important facts and figures about the project • Airbus employs 500.000 people. • The A380 costs 281 million Euro. • Airbus took a bank loan of 3,2 billions for the project. • The development expensed 15 billions. • The standard version has two cabins with 555 seats. • 10 passengers are able to sit in one row. • The Airbus is able to fly up to 15.000 km non-stop.

  9. 1. Information about the project The problems • Many tests which the super Airbus has to pass are very complicated.For example, the Airbus has to pass a test of evacuation. • There appeared massive technical problems during the tests which caused the delay in delivery and by this, they led Airbus into crisis. • Airbus has to pay huge amounts of regulations to the airlines for the delay in delivery. • The last client for the cargo version, UPS, plans to cancel the orders.Consequently the cargo project might be in danger and cause serious financial damage for Airbus. • All airports, where the Airbus approaches have to be prepared very well. • Is an aircraft of that scale still lucrative in a period in which fewer people can afford to travel "first class" to the holiday destination?

  10. 2. The location of production - Toulouse

  11. 2. The location of production - Toulouse The region - geographical

  12. Only the six pilots were allowed to fly for the first time on April 27th 2005 2. The location of production - Toulouse First flight on April 27th in 2005 • The security in Toulouse was very important • The airspace was controlled by the army • Only the six special test pilots had the permission to fly for the first time • No grave error in the technical system of the aircraft occurred • There were many enthusiastic spectators, and the whole world had an eye on Toulouse • Toulouse has become initiator of a technical revolution

  13. 3. Technical specifications of the A380

  14. A380B747-400 • Length: 72,7m 70,7m • Wingspan: 79,8m 64,4m • Height: 24,1m 19,3m • Weight (empty): 290.000kg 252.000kg • Weight (max.): 560.000kg 413.000kg • Thrust: 1244kN 990kN • Speed (cruising): 1.037km/h 900km/h • Speed (max.): 1.061km/h 939km/h • Cruising range: 15.000km 10.750km • Altitude (cruising): 13.100m 13.696m • Consumption: 3,3l/100km*p 3,7l/100km*p 3. Technical specifications of the A380 The technical dates of the A380 in comparison with the "Jumbo" B747

  15. 4. Another vast project – The Airbus A380 as a model A project by Peter Michel • Peter Michel realized his life-task to create the model of the Airbus A-380. • He is very famous because he participates air shows all over the world • For his model of the A380 he got the original plans directly from Airbus.Then he chose the scale 1:15 and began a long work of reconstructing every detail from the original plane.

  16. 4. Another vast project – The Airbus A380 as a model A project by Peter Michel • After more than one year of work and an investment of 75.000 € for the material, he had realized a plane with a length of 4,7m,a wingspan of 5,40m and a weight of 75kg with 4 turbine engines that create a thrust of 70kg, 22 wheels, 8 wheel breaks and 41 servos.

  17. 4. Another vast project – The Airbus A380 as a model A project by Peter Michel • His model had to pass the general registration approval for aircrafts, but finally it got the license for general air vehicles. • He was sponsored by a Saudi-Arabian airline • A sheik offered Peter Michel 150.000€ for his plane, but he didn't sell it.

  18. And now, I have to decelerate very fast, otherwise the report will get too long. • Thanks for your attention!
