The world’s largest passenger plane, the Airbus A380, took off successfully on its initial flight Wednesday.
The four engines giant was carrying a crew of six and 22 tons of test instruments. The continuation of its first flight was planned to take between two and four hours.
All members of the crew were secured with parachutes, in accordance with company policy.
The flight took 11 years of preparations and €10 billion in spending to be realized.
Presenting the A380, with a catalogue price of $282 million, Airbus counts on the upswing of demand for bigger aircraft for passenger transportation between ever-busier hub airports.
But some analysts say that recent increase in sales of smaller wide-body planes, like Boeing’s 787 "Dreamliner", show a different tendency, putting Airbus’s efforts at risk .
