Airbus A380: One BIG Jet.






The French aircraft manufacturer Airbus (based in Toulouse, France) recently released its newest aircraft: the A380, which made its first official flights to the United States this week.

The A380, nicknamed the "Superjumbo", is the largest passenger plane in the world. It can carry over 800 passengers, and has a price-tag that is only slightly less impressive than the plane's gargantuan scale. One of these quality aircraft will set you back a cool $300 million.

As of yet, there is no news on whether any American airlines will be purchasing A380's.
