It’s definitely not as notable or as impressive as the 747, the Queen of the Skies. It doesn’t look as distinctive as a Douglas DC-10 or a Lockheed 1011 Tristar. Frankly, it looks just… ordinary, by today’s standards.

But THAT’s the point. The Airbus A300 that I’m going to look into today, is the first EVER twin-engine widebody, a configuration shared by ALL widebody airliners available in the market today.

And on top of that, the A300 was the aircraft that practically launched one of aviation’s giants: Airbus. So how did Airbus and its A300 come to be? And WHY did Airbus decide to start off with a widebody??

Stay tuned!
