French Airplane Manufacturer Giant AIRBUS revealed their latest project, the A390. It will be the largest Passenger Jumbo jet and first ever 3 Decker Jet.
The Airbus 390 will come in two variants, one is the A390-800 and the other the 900.
A390-800 will be a 3 Decker aircraft and A390-900 will be a 2 Decker aircraft, but these variants are not finalized yet and can be changed as the project evolves.
- Airbus 390 has a capacity to carry 1000 passengers at once to their destination.
An average train carries less than a 1000 passengers. Yes, that's true - the A390 can carry more passengers than an average size train.
Normally passenger trains have 13 coaches but can go up to 24 to 26 coaches in some of the popular trains. An averagely sized train has 13 coaches. 1 coach has 72 seats so 13 coaches will have 936 passengers.

It will have 6 Rolls Royce jet engines.
Its range will be 7500 miles without stopping.
- The Aircraft is so huge that it will need 1.2 miles (1.9 Km) of runway for take off and landing.
As of now, the launch date is still unconfirmed. The German airline company Lufthansa, will be the launch customer and has ordered 1 aircraft.
Emirates will be the largest user of the Airbus A390 and has ordered 190 aircraft.
