The Airbus A300 Prototype Makes Its Maiden Flight

Airbus’ first aircraft and the world’s first twin-engine wide-body airliner flew from Toulouse–Blagnac a month ahead of schedule, for one hour and 25 minutes, with Max Fischl as captain and Bernard Ziegler as first officer.

The A300 prototype first flew on 28 October 1972 from Toulouse–Blagnac International Airport, a month ahead of schedule, in a flight lasting one hour and 25 minutes.^[1]
The captain was Max Fischl and the first officer Bernard Ziegler, son of Henri Ziegler.^[1]
France and West Germany reached a firm agreement on 29 May 1969 after Britain withdrew on 10 April 1969, and Airbus Industrie GIE was formally created on 18 December 1970.^[1]
Sections built across Europe were flown to Toulouse by Aero Spacelines Super Guppies, making the A300 the first airliner to use just-in-time manufacturing.^[1]
The type entered service with Air France on 23 May 1974; 561 were built before production ended in 2007.^[1]

Notable features

It was Airbus’ first production aircraft and the world’s first twin-engine wide-body airliner.^[1]
Its 5.64 m (222 in) diameter circular fuselage takes eight-abreast seating with two aisles and two LD3 cargo containers side by side below the floor.^[1][2]
The A300B1 that made the first flight, MSN 1 registered F-WUAB, was 51 m long with a maximum takeoff weight of 132 t and was powered by two General Electric CF6-50A engines.^[1][2]
The A300 typically seats 247 passengers in two classes over a range of 5,375 to 7,500 km.^[1]
Its wings have supercritical airfoil sections and it was the first airliner fitted with wind shear protection; later A300s brought composites to primary structures and the two-pilot Forward-Facing Crew Cockpit, a first for a wide-body.^[1][2]
