Iyiphi indiza yezindiza enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni?
Context:I-Airbus A380 iyindiza enkulu yomzimba ebanzi eyakhiwe futhi yakhiqizwa yi-Airbus. Yindiza yomgibeli enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni futhi ukuphela kwendiza yezindiza enesitezi esiphelele. Izifundo ze-Airbus zaqala ngo-1988, futhi lo msebenzi wamenyezelwa ngo-1990 ukuze kuphikiswane nokubusa kweBoeing 747 emakethe yezindiza ezindizayo. Le phrojekthi ngaleso sikhathi ebizwa ngokuthi i-A3XX yethulwa ngo-1994; I-Airbus yaqala uhlelo lwe-A380 lwe-€9.5 billion ($10.7 billion) ngo-19 Disemba 2000. I prototype yokuqala kwembulwa e Toulouse ngo-18 Januwari 2005, ne indiza yayo yokuqala ngo-27 Ephreli 2005. Yabe isithola isitifiketi sayo sohlobo e-European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) nase-US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ngo-12 Disemba 2006.  Ngenxa yezinkinga nge-wiring kagesi, ukukhiqizwa kokuqala kwabambezeleka iminyaka emibili futhi izindleko zokuthuthukiswa zaphindeka kabili. Yaqala ukulethwa eSingapore Airlines ngo-15 Okthoba 2007 futhi yaqala ukusebenza ngo-25 Okthoba. Ukukhiqizwa kwafinyelela esiqongweni ngo-30 ngonyaka ngo-2012 nango-2014. Kodwa-ke, ngemuva kokuthi ikhasimende elikhulu kunawo wonke, i-Emirates, lehlise i-oda layo lokugcina ngoFebhuwari 2019, i-Airbus yamemezela ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kwe-A380 kuzophela ngo-2021. Ngo-16 Disemba 2021, i-Emirates yathola i-A380 yayo eyi-123th, eyayingu-251st futhi eyokugcina ukulethwa yi-Airbus. Ukutshalwa kwezimali kuka-$25 billion akuzange kubuyiselwe.  Le ndiza enesitezi esiphelele esinezitezi ezimbili inokuhlala okujwayelekile kwabagibeli abangama-525, ngenani eliphakeme eliqinisekisiwe labagibeli abangama-853. I-quadjet inikwe amandla yi-Engine Alliance GP7200 noma i-Rolls-Royce Trent 900 turbofans enikeza uhla lwe-8,000 nmi (14,800 km). Kusukela ngoDisemba 2021, imikhumbi yomhlaba wonke ye-A380 isiqede izindiza ezingaphezu kuka-800,000 ngaphezu kwamahora ayizigidi eziyi-7.3 ngaphandle kokushona noma ukulahleka kwesigubhu. Kusukela ngoDisemba 2022, kwakukhona izindiza ezingama-237 ezazisebenza nabasebenza ngo-16 emhlabeni jikelele.
I-A380 iyindiza enkulu kunazo zonke yezindiza. Inezihlalo ezijwayelekile zabagibeli abangama-525, enekhono eliqinisekisiwe labagibeli abangama-853 futhi inebanga elingamakhilomitha ayi-14,800.
