Air Bus A380 Facts • The Airbus A380 began commercial life flying from Singapore and Sydney. It sold it’s tickets on eBay with the highest bidder paying £49,000 for a ‘Suite’. • It has a range of 8,200 nautical mile which means that it can fly non-stop from New York to Hong Kong • It can take an extra 163,000kg over the 747, which is the equivalent of 5 Second World War Sherman tanks • The Wright Brothers’ first flight was shorter than the A380’s wingspan. • Airbus couldn’t find a plant big enough to build the plane, so it built it in bits in Wales, Germany, Spain and France and shipped it for assembly in Toulouse.

A closer look at air pressure In a helium balloon, the helium atoms are travelling an average of 3,000 miles per hour! In air, the oxygen and nitrogen molecules* are travelling about 1,000 miles per hour! At these incredible speeds, one atom will collide with other atoms and objects near them 7 billion times a second!
How does it work? • The air moves faster over the top of the wing which means that it exerts less pressure than the air below it. • = Lift
