Behind the '8' number
The number ‘8’ on Airbus A380 represents a lucky number in some Asian countries where the aircraft was being marketed. Boeing did not use number ‘8’ on their Jumbojet B747 to resemble the double-deck cross section. Boeing uses number ‘8’ on Boeing B787 Dreamliner which is single deck aircraft to replace 7E7 designation.
