Airbus A380 Manual 2005 Onwards (Owners' Workshop Manual)

Product Description Airbus A380 Manual Designed to challenge Boeing's monopoly in the large aircraft market, the A380 super-jumbo made its first flight in 2005, entering commercial service two years later. So popular is the jet that every four minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, an A380 is taking off or landing somewhere in the world. There is no other development in recent aviation history to rival this remarkable aircraft. Robert Wicks looks at the A380 s design and construction, its high-tech cockpit and innovative cabin design, the remarkable engineering behind its 22-wheel undercarriage, and the complex nature of the A380 s operation. About the Author Robert Wicks is the author of the Haynes Heathrow Airport Operations Manual and four books for Haynes in the 'Adventure Motorcycling' series. A self-confessed aviation enthusiast, Robert initially moved to the UK from South Africa in 1987 to join the Army Air Corps.
