It doesn’t get any better than this:

For those unfamiliar, the Airbus A380 is the world’s largest commercial airliner.  It can seat 525 people in an extended seating format, or 853 people in an “economy seating” format.  It costs roughly $404 million dollars, variant-dependent.

The Airbus A380 cockpit is “all glass” and is flown by sidestick controllers seen above, far left and far right adjacent the seats.  Laptops are located directly in front of the pilots for input and communications.  The plane is more controlled by information input than by physical manipulation of a pilot.

The A380 is the Airbus answer to the Boeing 747 and 747-8.
