The windows of the Airbus A380 are primarily made from a combination of acrylic and polycarbonate materials. These materials are chosen for their lightweight properties, durability, and resistance to impact and weather conditions. The windows also feature multiple layers to enhance insulation and minimize noise, ensuring passenger comfort during flight. Additionally, the outer layer is designed to withstand the aerodynamic forces experienced at cruising altitudes.

The planned and announced configurations for the Airbus A380 range from 450 passengers, used by Qantas, to 840 passengers, used by Air Austral.
The wings of the Airbus A380 are primarily made from aluminum alloys, which provide a balance of strength and weight. Additionally, composite materials, including carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics, are used in specific sections to reduce weight and enhance performance. The use of these materials helps improve fuel efficiency and overall structural integrity.
