Projected to be about $350 million US dollars, the Airbus A380 Private jet was manufactured in France by the Airbus company in 2010. This jumbo passenger jet was built by Airbus but also had parts manufactured by the Thales Rockwell Honeywell Combo group, who supplied this aircraft with an engine of the 4 X Engine Alliance GP 7270 variety. Overall the aircraft has a power of 70,000 pound-force and a maximum cruise speed of 587 knots or 1,087 kilometers per hour.Though heavy, this jumbo passenger jet can travel as far as 8,700 nautical miles or 16,112 kilometers, while reserving a fuel economy of about 0.1 nautical miles per gallon or 0.049 kilometres per litre.

By all metrics, the mighty A380 is an aviation giant, but despite its size there are various predicaments that come from its metrics and specifications. Though it was touted as amighty plane for its size, the height, length and width created issues for logistics. For instance, only an exclusive amount of airports could hold the plane in its runway, meaning that it was not put to use as much as initially advertised. From the perspective of an engineer, the plane is a marvel but the infrastructure can be complicated. Because the plane can hold so many passengers (as much as 800), the que line is very long during boarding and made even more complicated by the fact that there are only two passenger doors.
