context_page_description: The Airbus A300 is a jet airliner which was made by Airbus. Airbus Industries launched the plane in 1972, and it was the first plane with two engines to have more than one isle between the seats. The A300 can hold 266 passengers in two classes. It can fly for a maximum of 4,070 nautical miles when it is full, but this depends on the type of A300.
  Air France was the first airline to get an A300. Air France began to use its A300s on 30 May 1974. Airbus stopped making A300s in July 2007. When Airbus stopped making A300s, it also stopped making A310s. The freighter version of the A300 has been replaced by the A330-200F.
context_section_description: Some of the technology used for the Airbus A300 was taken from Concorde. When it began being used in 1974, the A300 was an advanced plane. Some advanced features were:
  Advanced wings by de Havilland
  Some parts made from metal billets, which saved weight
  Wind shear protection
  Autopilots which could fly the plane all the way from takeoff to landing.
  A300s made later have other features, like:
  A glass cockpit
  The ability to move fuel around, which changes the plane's centre of gravity
  Wingtip fences (first used on the A310-300).
