Why the A380 Feels So Quiet

“This is the biggest passenger plane ever built… but it’s also one of the quietest.”

Script: “Even though the Airbus A380 is massive, passengers often say it feels smoother

and quieter than smaller jets. That’s because its engines are mounted farther away from

the cabin, and the plane is incredibly heavy, which reduces turbulence. Add advanced sound

insulation and slower takeoff speeds, and you get a surprisingly calm ride.” Closer:

“That’s why the world’s largest plane feels more like a luxury train in the sky.”
