Both sides have only one goalto become the worlds leading aircraft maker. This is the remarkable account of Airbus launch of the largest passenger plane ever to fly, and how they risked everything in a heavyweight contest where the money is staggering and the political stakes are high. The Airbus A380 will be a monster above the clouds with gyms, a nightclub in the sky, and a 550 passenger capacity, versus Boeings super-efficient long distance Dreamliners 200-350. Will the A380 super-jumbo succeed when it is launched in 2006 With Boeing determined that it will fail, the stakes are high. This amazing story of rivalry and risk is a fascinating insight to both Airbus and Boeing, as they take their steps to take off.
