The Airbus A380 is the largest passenger airliner in the world which made its first commercial flight on 25 October from Singapore to Sydney with Singapore Airlines. Singapore Airlines has also unveiled the luxurious cabin interior of the Superjumbo.

The A380 employs an Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) architecture, first used in advanced military aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor and the Eurofighter Typhoon. It is based on a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) design. Several concerns about the A380 arose during its development as early critics said that it would damage taxiways and other airport surfaces. Tests later shown that the pressure exerted is lower than that of a Boeing 747or 777 because the A380 has 22 wheels, four more than the 747 and eight more than the 777.
