During its construction, the third largest airplane ever built, was known as "A3XX." By now we all know this giant as "Airbus A 380" and it has quite a suitable nickname: "Superjumbo." Since its first flight in April 2005 there have been 207 planes delivered to different airlines worldwide.
The A380 is the first plane with a complete tri-deck layout, one for fright, two for passengers and is manufactured all across Europe to finally be put together in Toulouse, France.
Because of this clever layout it offers 50% more cabin space than the second largest passenger airplane, a Boeing 747-400, and seating up to 853 passengers in an all-economy class configuration. Typically it'll offer seats for 525 people in three classes.
In fact that's the most passengers for a plane ever and by other technical facts the A380 is one of the top players as well. In both width and length, there are only two planes each topping the Airbus. Lengthwise it's the Antonov An-225 "Mrija" with 84.0 meters before the Boeing 747-400 Intercontinental with its 76.4 meters topping the A380 by a mere 3.4 meters.
Concerning the width the A380 dwarfs the Boeing but is beaten by the Mrija (88.4 m) again, which itself is being topped by the 70-year-old Hughes H-4 "Spruce Goose" with its impressive 97.5 meter wide wings, spanning 17.7 meters more than the A380.
The payload of the (postponed) freighter version A380-800F will be only exceeded by the Antonov, but this is a one-off, the A380 will not. As for a plane the range is important as well, the A380 is beaten once again by a Boeing.
But this time by the 777-200LR setting the record for the standard range at 17,446 km, the Antonov would be just in front of the A380, but only when empty. Fully loaded the Mrija will only do 2,500 km. So the 380 is second and will travel 15,200 km without the need to refuel.
