It’s really, really big, and as an executive transport, the giant Airbus A380–unveiled in Toulouse, France, last month– will be the biggest and most complex challenge ever to roll into an independent completion center hangar to be outfitted for executive or personal use.

It is the largest passenger aircraft ever built, with an mtow of about 600 tons,
and is capable of carrying more than 800 passengers in a single-class economy configuration. The 6,819 sq ft of floor space is about equal to that of a mini-mansion in one of New York City’s more exclusive suburbs. At $285 million (published price), it’s considerably more expensive than the house in Westchester, but you also get wings and four turbofan engines capable of delivering you and an extensive entourage to destinations nearly 9,000 miles away at better than 500 knots.
