What is the fastest passenger aircraft in the world?

Answer 1

The Airbus A380. The world's largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, has completed its maiden flight.

"The behaviour of the aircraft both before and after take-off was completely normal," says Jacques Rosay, the Airbus chief test pilot who flew the aircraft. "After take-off we went up to 10,000 feet accompanied by the chaser aircraft. The aircraft has been fantastic."

The plane, which has taken 10 years and $13 billion to develop, flew from its production site in Toulouse, France, with a crew of 6. It also carried 20 tonnes of test equipment to monitor the performance of the autopilot and other aircraft systems. Airbus intends to build four prototypes and to carry out 2200 hours of testing before the aircraft enters service in 2006.

The A380 dwarfs the Boeing 747 jumbo, currently the world's largest passenger aircraft. It has a wingspan of 80 metres, more than twice the distance flown by the Wright brother's on their first powered flight. The A380 is capable of carrying up to 840 passengers on two decks and an air freighter version of the aircraft will carry a payload of 150 tonnes on three decks.
