{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: bot: original URL status unknown (link)Some believe the IMA concept originated in the United States with the new F-22 and F-35 fighters and then migrated to the commercial jetliner arena. Others say the modular avionics concept, with less integration, has been used in business jets and regional airliners since the late 1980s or early 90s
Clark points out that "the faster you fly [the A380], the more fuel-efficient she gets; when you fly at [Mach] 0.86 she is better than at 0.83."
Some systems, like the electromagnetic thrust reversers are a first for a commercial aircraft
Some of these new aircraft types appear slightly noisier in operation than their QC classification (A380 with Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines) .. Rolls-Royce is supporting CAA in understanding the relatively high A380/Trent 900 monitored noise levels
More than 20% of the A380 is made of lightweight-but-strong composite materials, mainly carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic
The A380 is the first aircraft ever to be fitted with the Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) suite, a major technical evolution of global importance for airlines and operators. Designed by Airbus and co-developed with Thales and Diehl Aerospace, the IMA is a leap-ahead technological innovation, with all onboard computing modules networked and able to support different applications. The result is a substantial improvement in computing power, reliability, maintainability, volume, weight and scalability.
