International aircraft manufacturer Airbus has presented a newer more efficient model of the A380 model that has already been released years prior. There are many reasons for the upgrade alongside the satisfaction of the customer.
Specialist at Airbus have been consistently working on ways to reduce the effort of the plane with some minor changes.
They have been constructed new larger aircraft winglets that make the entire plane more fuel efficient by 4%. A380PLUS would also contribute to a beneficial reduction of per seat cost rather than the current A380 model at a 13%.
Alongside the improvements on the actual plan, Airbus is to better their maintance plan to keep up with their newer planes as they would require more attention. Previously showed at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) there has also been some new cabin features added to the PLUS model.
The A380PLUS would provide a new state of the art cabin space.
“Presented at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX), allows up to 80 additional aircraft seats* with no compromise on comfort: redesigned stairs, a combined crew-rest compartment, sidewall stowage removal, a new 9-abreast seat configuration in premium economy and 11-abreast in economy.”
Although the newer model would have an increased takeoff weight, the plane would be allowed to carry 80 more passengers.
The maintance checks have been spread out more often than usual by reducing a six-year check and system improvements were meant to lower maintenance cost and allow more aircrafts to be available at a time.
The A380 model has been an entire success and the PLUS is only the best to come. An approximate 170 million passengers have had the pleasure of being a passenger on the A380 model. The Average passenger amount on a A380 is an approximate 497 per ride on a flight.
