For wake turbulence categorization purposes, an aircraft certificated for a maximum takeoff weight of 255,000 lb or more. This classification is by FAA (Federal Aviation Administration). The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) classifies those aircraft as “heavy” that have a certificated...

Early gliders were launched from hills or by running forward; the machine maintained stability while in flight by the pilot's shifting body weight. These techniques have been resurrected in modern hang gliding, a development based on NASA experiments with flexible-wing gliders in the 1950s. Theha...
2. The final approach speed is 138 kt at a Maximum Landing Weight (MLW) of 395 000 kg (870 826 lb) and classifies the aircraft into the Aircraft Approach Category C. NOTE : This value is given for information only. 3-5-0 Page 1 Nov 01/20 @A380 AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS - AIRPORT ...
