Airbus · Europe
A true double-decker with 40% more floor space than a 747. It introduced luxuries like onboard showers (Emirates) and private suites. It is the quietest large jet ever built, but its four engines made it expensive to fly as fuel prices rose.
Legacy Fact: It became a symbol of national pride for many airlines, particularly in the Middle East.
