In the Super Bowl of the airline industry, there are two opposing sides: Airbus of Europe versus Boeing of America. Both sides have only one goal
- to become the world`s leading aircraft maker. This is the remarkable account of Airbus` launch of the largest passenger plane ever to fly, how they risked everything in a heavyweight contest, where the money is staggering, & the political stakes are high. The Airbus A380 will be a monster above the clouds with gyms, a nightclub in the sky, & a 550 passenger capacity vs Boeing`s super efficient long distance Dreamliner`s 200-350.
