The 747 used to be the largest aircraft in the skies but the plane makers are Boeing out 
as the a380 is now the largest aircraft. The plane cost £280m, carries 520 passengers, 1600 pieces of luggage and 320,000 litres of fuel. The a380 is a two storey, 369 ton aircraft It carries 200 tons of passengers fuel and cargo. It weighs 560 tons all up.
And you might remember that it was in 1903 that Frank Whittle was the pioneer of the turbo jet.
And, of course, the a380 flies all over the world and Heathrow is one of the many airports the a380 leaves from.
Heathrow is the largest single-site employer in the UK. More than 76,000 people work at the airport – and many more nearby. In total, Heathrow supports 114,000 local jobs and has 160 shops 59 restaurants. Makes our little airport look tiny.
