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 goalto become the worlds 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 and the political stakes are high. The Airbus A380 will be a monster above the clouds with gyms, nightclubs and a 550 passenger capacity compared to Boeing Dreamliners 200-350. Will the A380 super-jumbo succeed when it is launched in 2006? With Boeing determined that it will fail, it is up to the dealmakers and geo-politics to decide its fate. From technological winners to global prestige, this amazing story of rivalry and risk is a fascinating insight to both sides in this mighty war, their rise to power and the final steps to take-off.
