Airbus A380

In April the maiden flight of the Airbus A380 made aviation history. For 35 years the Boeing 747 had reigned supreme as the world's biggest airliner, but the A380 is 45% bigger. Its development took over 10 years and 12 billion $. With exclusive access to the project since 2003, World's Biggest Airliner: Building the Airbus A380 tells the compelling story of the multi-billion-pound gamble to build the world's biggest airliner.

Nicknamed the Superjumbo, this passenger airliner is the largest in history. It's packed with cutting-edge technology but owes its very existence to the most unlikely breakthroughs - a Mongolian bow and a 19th century rocket.

Join Richard Hammond for hands on experiments and investigations involving some of the world's most iconic structures and discover how they came about. It's back! Richard Hammond's Engineering Connections returns for a new series and this time it is bigger, bolder and braver than ever.

MegaStructures is a documentary television series appearing on the National Geographic Channel and Five in the United Kingdom and on France 5 in France.
Each episode is an educational look of varying depth into the construction, operation, and staffing of various structures or construction projects, but not ordinary construction products.
Generally containing interviews with designers and project managers, it presents the problems this involved the or products that are now in general use within the construction industry.
MegaStructures focuses on constructions that are extreme; in the sense that they are the biggest, tallest, longest, or deepest in the world. Alternatively, a project may appear if it had an element of novelty or are a world first (such as Dubai's Palm Islands). This type of project is known as a Megaproject.
The series follows similar subjects as the History Channel's Modern Marvels and Discovery Channel's Extreme Engineering covering areas of architecture, transport, construction and manufacturing.
