- Synopsis:
"The World's Biggest Airliner: Airbus A380" is a fascinating behind-the-scenes film that follows a team of leading engineers and aircraft designers as they race against the clock to complete construction, certify and deliver the world's largest aeroplane. The Airbus A380 is scheduled for its maiden flight in less than 12 months, and the team in Toulouse, France knows the entire world will be watching. While they slowly assemble the massive fuselage sections and giant wings, production snafus threaten to ground the entire project - and the pressure faced by the team begins to show. As the pieces are joined together like a giant jigsaw puzzle, dramatic tests are carried out on the Rolls Royce engines that will power the A380 and the landing gear that must support its enormous weight. Delays creep in, but the day for revealing the plane to the world is now set. The press is waiting. Heads of state, major airlines VIPs are all waiting with bated breath. But will the A380 be ready? - Directors:
