1.    Bigger is always Better...here I am speaking about the Form factor and not trying to twiddle a baggage of daily life problems...Bigger the problems..the Better it is...na na...na...few things in life I would mention like Happiness Index.....Quality of Life...Content of materialistic lives incl our homes...our cars...our salaries ...or may be smiles in a family...the movie hall screen size.....big sports stadiums...big shopping malls...huge towers...so I may have been able to bring out few things that we have always wanted bigger and bigger in our lives thinking....and when we travel by air ..don't we desire a huge aircraft that we have mostly seen in movies or may be heard of restricted to the big wigs in this world....but for a common man...where does he realize this dream being the common men he always is and remains for the most of his life…..the answer I came to know vide reading about this campaign on Lufthansa A380.

2.   The Lufthansa A380 is the largest and heaviest passenger aircraft in the world. The 73 meters long, 24 meters high frame form factor that this hulk possesses is enough to shock anyone who is used to the routine aircrafts sizes plying across the globe and has a takeoff weight of up to 560 tons. This hulk allows a seating for 526 passengers, and its four Rolls-Royce engines each generate 31800 kilograms of thrust roughly tantamounting of what 3500 cars could bring out…that’s huh!!!!!
 
3.   And the size is not the only thing that one notices about this…the additional features include offering 40 per cent more capacity, the lowest seat mile costs in its class, being the quietest and most spacious in the sky and with 18.5 inch standard seat width in economy, it is a luxury for any passenger in economy space without trying to mould  and squeeze inside narrow seats he is typically used to. Additionally A380’s two decks offer 50 per cent more floor surface than any other aircraft. Few other features of interest include the following :

- Advanced lighting systems and new standards of in-flight entertainment to improve over all comfort factor for the passenger.

- Cabin air is recycled every three minutes to keep the atmosphere fresh.

- Natural light is provided by 220 cabin windows and with Four high-level air outlets  as opposed to the industry standard of two ,the passenger is bound for an elated happy experience.

- Lufthansa A380 is further conjugated with its optimal cabin height and these key advantages provide more personal storage, better head room, and wider stairs for maneuvering inside.

- A380 is the first commercial airliner to have a central wing box made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic besides having contoured wing cross section which typically are partitioned span-wise into sections leading to an improved and better desired aerodynamic efficiency.

- The two inboard engines are equipped with thrust reversers helping the brakes when the runway is slippery…so an increased safety attribute.
