Airbus

As of 2011, Airbus were selling their A320 model for $85million or £52million.

The prices of its variants (A318, A319 and A321) are slightly different as the actual aircraft size is different.

The A330-300 takes 440 if all are standard class.

People call it the great circle. To get to the US the short way(it may not seem short but it is). They flyover japan, Alaska, Vancouver, and their destination

The Airbus A380 which is a double-deck wide-body aircraft while the B737 is a narrow-body.

Depending on the aircraft, the wings can be made of Steel (Only older planes), Wood (REALLY old planes), Aluminum (Common today), Or Carbon Fiber (used in Military jets)

to reduce drag

The A320 flies at about 515 mph.

Although final assembly takes place in France - the parts are manufactured in many different countries.

No, the Antonov An-225 is longer. The Spruce-Goose had a marginally wider wingspan and was the same height. But the A380 is the largest passenger aircraft.

There is a main spar (lengthwise beam) and a front spar (leading edge) a number of ribs that run front to back of the wing and give the wing surface its shape and usually a spar nearing the training edge of the wing. The wing also has panels that move to bank the aircraft ....... on a small plane just one on each wing but on a high speed aircraft, often two .... one for low speed and one for high speed use. There are additional panels at the rear of each wing called flaps to change the airflow over the wing and thus lift and stalling speed. On some aircraft there are additional panels at the front of the wing that do the same when extended for low speed flight. Finally, there are often lift spoilers on the top of the wing which "spoil" lift when they are raised up ..... they also can act as speed brakes. The wing also holds fuel tanks and all of the necessary control lines to run all this stuff.

small private jets like leer jets. citation x. they can reach speeds up to mach 1.0+ and have a ceiling clsoe to 57k ft

Each control surface on an aircraft has a hinge of some sort. By moving the control, there is an aerodynamic moment about the hinge. The pilot must provide the moment (force)to counter that hinge moment. The feedback of

this required force to the pilot is an additional cue to help him to fly the aircraft.

It was unveiled for luxury travel and as a concept to see what can be engineered to fly.

Not quite. For instance there are differences in the number of engines. Most models are twin engines while A340 and A380 have four engines. Obviously those have to be managed differently. Additionally, the age of the plane is important: older models such as A300 and A310 have the traditional control column, while ever since the A320 this was replaced with a side stick and fly by wire technology. Lastly, every new generation of planes gets the state of the art equipment of that time, which is usually different from the previously used technology adding more features, implement improved features and replacing obsolete ones.

Yes, you typically need a specific earphone adapter for use on Airbus flights, as many aircraft are equipped with dual-prong audio jacks instead of the standard 3.5mm headphone jack. The airline may provide adapters, but it's a good idea to bring your own just in case. Always check with the airline beforehand to confirm their requirements and availability.

It would depend where they are buying the fuel. It carries 85,000 US Gallons.

Airbus is an equipment manufacturer, much like Boeing or McDonnell-Douglas. They have several differrent models, and it's possible to customize the seating to some extent. You're going to have to be a lot more specific (along the lines of "What is the passenger capacity of a United Airlines A320v1?" ... the answer is 138).
