In 2030, You Could Buy An Airbus A380 Airframe For $1Mil

Enviado
 
In terms of its sheer size, the Airbus A380 ‘superjumbo’ is a passenger airliner like no other. However, and most crucially for Airbus, the type did not prove to be a commercial success. It is something of a white elephant in the airline industry, and its production was officially canceled last year, barely longer than a decade after its first commercial flight.

Getting closer and closer. SPARC tests to begin in 2025.

They may even have difficulty in getting buyers for just the airframe. While a restaurant is doable, a hotel would be expensive on a per night basis due to lack of square footage. A home might be doable as well.
