Can you imagine 550 people all tucked into one airplane? Airbus, the world's #2 commercial aircraft maker behind Boeing, wants to be the largest maker of commercial jetliners, and the company is betting that airlines will go bonkers for its A380 (previously A3XX), which carries 555 passengers. Airbus also makes single-aisle (A318, A319, A320, A321) and wide-body (A300, A310, A330, A340) jets -- with capacities ranging from about 110 to 400 passengers. The newly formed European Aeronautic Defence & Space Company (EADS) owns 80% of Airbus, UK-based BAE SYSTEMS owns the other 20%. Airbus has been restructured from a consortium into a corporation, Airbus S.A.S.
