Glaser-Dirks DG-100
The DG-100 of 1973 is the first sailplane (glider) type manufactured by Glaser-Dirks. Built of glass-reinforced plastic (fiberglass), the first model had an all-flying tailplane and a two-piece canopy (movable and fixed parts). The original DG-100 was superseded by the DG-100G, DG-101 and DG-101G. Most models came equipment with water ballast bags in the wings. >>

The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus, a subsidiary of EADS. The largest passenger airliner in the world, the A380 made its maiden flight on 27 April 2005 from Toulouse, France, and made its first commercial flight on 25 October 2007 from Singapore to Sydney with Singapore Airlines. The aircraft was known as the Airbus A3XX during much of its development phase, but the nickname Superjumbo has since become associated with it.
