Theme: Airplanes

Airplanes, the fastest vehicle to connect countries! They were designed due to the necessity of people to travel abroad and fast. The first successful airplane was made by the Wright Brothers! On December 17, 1903 Wright Brothers made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk with their first powered aircraft. Since airplanes have evolved, the Airbus A380 is the world's largest passenger airliner; many airports have upgraded their facilities to accommodate it because of its size. Initially named Airbus A3XX, Airbus designed the aircraft to challenge Boeing's monopoly in the large-aircraft market; the A380 made its first flight on 27 April 2005 and began commercial service in October 2007 with Singapore Airlines. The A380's upper deck extends along the entire length of the fuselage, with a width equivalent to a wide-body aircraft. This gives the A380-800's cabin 478 square meters of floor space, which is 40% more than the next-largest airliner, the Boeing and provides seating for 525 people in a typical three class configuration or up to 853 people in all economy class configurations. The A380-800 has a design range of 15,700 kilometers (8,500 mi; 9,800 mi), sufficient to fly from New York to Hong Kong, and a cruising speed of Mach 0.85 (about 900 km/h or 560 mph; 490 km at cruising altitude). The A380 was used to demonstrate the viability of a synthetic fuel comprising standard jet fuel with a Biodiesel component. On 1 February 2008, a three-hour test flight operated between Britain and France, with one of the A380's four engines using a mix of 60% standard jet kerosene and 40% gas to liquids (GTL) fuel supplied by Shell. The aircraft needed no modification to use the GTL fuel, which was designed to be mixed with normal jet fuel. Sebastian Remy, head of Airbus SAS's alternative fuel program, said the GTL used was no cleaner in CO2 terms than standard fuel but it had local air quality benefits because the GTL portion contains no sulfur. Everyone can travel with airplanes because of the facilities given by the flight companies! You can book ticket on internet from cheap, economic to first class. When you get on the plane everyone is polite, food is provided to you, first ad and everything you need is in there! Actually humanity should be grateful to the Wright /brothers for inventing the best vehicle ever.
