A little more perspective

Airbus’s February 2022 factsheet lists a height of 24.1 meters and overall length of 72.7 meters. This is a rounded manufacturer dimension for the A380 passenger aircraft on its landing gear. It is the tail height, not the height of either passenger cabin.

The selected 24.1-meter A380 reference is 4.7 meters above the 747-8 Intercontinental’s 19.4-meter listing. The tail determines that difference; the two passenger decks sit below it. A comparison based on wingspan would use the separate horizontal dimension in Airbus’s factsheet.
