A380
More comfort than ever before: The A380 has bigger seats and more space between them.
It is also more fuel efficient -- burning 1.3 gallons per passenger per 100 miles, which the company says is comparable to the fuel economy of a small turbo-diesel car.
The A380 will fly on the busiest routes. Singapore Airlines will be the first to fly the A380 in mid-2006 on high-traffic routes, especially to London, New York, Tokyo and Sydney.
BAA, the London Heathrow airport operator, is spending $847 million in terminal and airfield modifications to accommodate the super jumbo. Some pilots feel that the size of the plane could be a problem during emergencies when it is required to land at smaller airfields which cannot accommodate it.

The problem will be for Airbus, trying to sell this air version of the Titanic totally ignoring what's going on in the airline industry. The A380 would be excellent for cargo, though.

The all new Boeing 797 concept passenger airplane may possibly look like the plane in the top photo. This huge airplane may be larger than the AIRBUS A380
