A magnificent beast made of four million parts from 30 countries, the last ever Airbus A380 -- the world's largest passenger airliner -- has made its first flight
(CNN) — Nearly 16 years after the world's largest passenger airliner first took to the skies, the last ever Airbus A380 superjumbo has completed its first flight. At lunchtime on March 17, the final A380 to be assembled took off from Airbus' Jean-Luc Lagardere plant, a purpose-built facility at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport in southern France. Student pilot Virgile Prodault shared a video on Twitter of the craft performing a low pass and a "wing wave" -- a traditional dip of the wings for a new craft to say goodbye to the airport where it was made.More Related News
