Since the earliest days of commercial aviation, certain aircraft have had a lasting impact on the way we travel. Whether through technical innovation, exceptional range, or impressive dimensions, some models have become real milestones in aviation history.

In this series, we present remarkable aircraft that have set standards in very different ways: like the revolutionary short-haul classic, the Boeing 737; the efficient medium-haul jet, the Airbus A220; and the majestic Airbus A380, which redefined flying.

Join us as we tell the stories behind the aircraft types that have moved — and continue to move — our world. In addition to technical classifications and historical background, aviation journalist Andreas Spaeth also provides personal insights with anecdotes from test flights and firsthand experience on the tarmac.
