Just recently Airbus has launched what will be the largest airliner ever built. This double-decker aircraft will seat 555 passengers in a typical three-class cabin layout and over 800 in a single class configuration. Scheduled for service in 2006, the A380 will fly over distances of 8,000 miles (14,800 km) and will be powered by four Trent 900 engines from Rolls-Royce or GP7200 engines from The Engine Alliance (General Electric and Pratt & Whitney). Airbus promises a more efficient airplane than its rival, the Boeing 747. Airbus claims the A380 will use 20% less fuel and will fly quieter, cheaper, and be more environmentally friendly than the 747.
