he A380 embodies 30 years of Airbus experience in applying intelligent innovation to its new products. The result is an airliner at the top of the scale in terms of efficiency, profitability and operational effectiveness.
By incorporating the latest advances in structures and materials, the A380 offers a direct operating cost per passenger that is 15 per cent lower than the competing large airliner. Reliability and maintainability will be further increased through the use of new technologies such as an enhanced onboard central maintenance system and variable frequency generators (which simplify the large aircraft’s electrical generation network).
New-generation engines, combined with an advanced wing and landing gear design, will make the A380 significantly quieter than today's largest airliner – enabling the very large aircraft to meet strict local regulations at airports around

The Airbus A380
The Airbus A380 is a big aircraft full of fresh ideas.
Its twin, full-length, wide-bodied cabin has exceptionally efficient air filters. With four high level air outlets instead of the traditional two, the cabin air gets refreshed every three minutes. Which helps passengers to feel fresher, both during and after the flight.
There is a fresh approach to its environmental impact, too. With a new wing design and composite materials accounting for 25% of its structural weight, the A380 is a much more efficient aircraft all round. And by producing only about 75g of CO2 per passenger kilometre, the A380 is contributing to the aviation industry's commitment to constraining greenhouse gas emissions.
Fresher thinking inside, fresher thinking outside.

Airbus
Airbus S.A.S (Fransızca: (S)ociété par (a)ctions (s)implifiée, Fransız ticaret hukukunda Limited Şirket ine benzer) şirketi 1970 yılında bir Fransız-Alman ortaklığı olarak kurulmuştur. Şirket şu anda Almanya, Fransa, İspanya, İngiltere ve Hollanda ortaklığından oluşmaktadır. Merkezi Fransa'nın Toulouse şehridir.
Yukarıda sayılan bu ülkeler üretilen değişik modellerin değişik bölümlerini ve parçalarını üretmekten sorumlulardır. A320 modeli denilen ve A318, A319, A320 ve A321 modellerini kapsayan seri Almanya'nın Hamburg kentinde montajlanırken diğer modeller Fransa'da montajlanmaktadır. Her seride ayrı dağılım göstermekle birlikte genelde:
* Gövdeden Almanya,
* Elektronik aksamından ve iniş takımlarından Fransa,
* Kanatlardan İngiltere,
* Kanat Parçalarından, uçuş yüzeylerinden Hollanda ve
* Kapı gibi aksamlarından ise İspanya sorumludur.
İlk üretilen model A300'tür, daha sonra bunu sırasıyla A310, A320, A330, A340 ve en son A380 izlemiştir. Ayrıca A350 modeli de tasarlanmış ancak henüz üretimine geçilmemiştir.

Rocket Engines
Rocket engines are the most extreme examples of power sources for things that fly. The history of rocket engine development is filled with the most incredible stories of engineering dedication and skill. It is also filled with stories of spectacular failures and even more spectacular successes. Most failures left only ions for evidence, making the job of development all the harder. The successes, especially those that took humans away from the planet for the first time, still inspire awe more than thirty years later.
The Curtiss OX-5
The Curtiss OX-5 has the distinction of being the first mass-produced aircraft engine in the United States. First available in 1915, it served in trainers through World War I, continued to be produced by Curtiss as well as other licensees until 1918 or 1919, and then powered a veritable explosion in general aviation after the end of the war and for a decade to follow.

Rolls-Royce
The Merlin family of engines powered such famous aircraft such as the Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, DeHavilland Mosquito, Mustang, and the Lancaster bomber. The Merlin was developed in England in 1936, and used in a prototype Spitfire F39/34. The first production Spitfire in 1939 had a 1030 hp Rolls-Royce Merlin MK II engine.
The Merlin went through continuous development throughout World War Two, ending up with at MK 71. The Merlin series was then superseded by the Griffon series.
In early 1941, Rolls-Royce licensed Packard Motors to build Merlin engines. By 1943, the Mustang P51B & C (RAF Mustang III) had a 1520 hp, V1650-3 Packard Merlin engine. In Canada the Packard Merlins were designated Merlin 28 and 29.
Allison V-1710-F20R, liquid cooled Aircraft engine
The only American liquid-cooled engine to see service in World War II was the Allison V-1710. It was one of the most important large U.S. aero engines, with over 70,000 engines produced from the time of the first in 1931 to the last in 1948. The engine was produced for several important fighters of WWII, including the P-38 Lightning, P-39 Airacobra, P-40 Warhawk, P-51A Mustang, P-63 Kingcobra, P-82 Twin Mustang and the Consolidated XA-11A, an experimental attack version of the Consolidated P-25. Allison was an Indianapolis firm that had done well in a small way with Liberty modifications and with reduction gears for others' engines. Allison became a part of general motors in 1929, and the firm today remains a GM component as "Detroit Diesel Allison Division."
