World's Biggest Airliner
Channel 4 Sat Jun 18 7:05 PM
In April the maiden flight of the Airbus A380 made aviation history. For 35 years the Boeing 747 had reigned supreme as the world's biggest airliner, but the A380 is 45% bigger. Its development took over 10 years and £6 billion.
With exclusive access to the project since 2003, World's Biggest Airliner: Building the Airbus A380 tells the compelling story of the multi-billion-pound gamble to build the world's biggest airliner. Constructing a plane on this unprecedented scale poses huge challenges, particularly when constricted by tight deadlines and especially because Airbus's main production plants are spread across France, Spain, Germany and the UK. Each component is so big that new factories have to be built before work can begin on the plane. The gigantic wings are just one of the components that must make a huge and difficult journey to Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, from the factory in north Wales. The enormous fuselage travels from Hamburg. Each journey is a nightmare, by barge on unpredictable rivers, by sea, and finally by road, squeezing through the tiny village of Levignac with inches to spare before reaching the final assembly line. The programme provides an incredible insight into the unique challenges of building an airliner on this unprecedented scale, before its grand unveiling in front of thousands, and its awe-inspiring maiden voyage in the hands of Airbus's test pilots.
