Taking off soon are Lufthansa’s new Airbus A380 planes, which have been lavishly decorated – in the first-class cabin, at least. Gone are the tiddly toilets and basins, and in their place are separate washing and changing rooms.
Currently, there’s a typo in a trending topic on Twitter, and it’s doing my head in, though at least it won’t be responsible for a plane tail-strike like the one that occurred at Melbourne Airport earlier this year.
What’s 73 metres long, flies at 1041kph, and has three floors that include a grand staircase, four giant full suites, boardroom with hologram projector, a full spa, concert hall, car garage, and a space-age lift that drops onto the runway?
The sad news yesterday was an A330-200 going down in the Atlantic. Here you can see an extremely detailed video showing its cockpit, with every single knob, button, indicator, and screen. Just watching it makes my head spin. [Flight Global]
With the economy the way it is, I can think of no better time to announce a two-level mansion-like interior for your personal Airbus A380. For when you want to shame the dudes with Cessnas.
