Flying a plane that carries almost 900 passengers is no small feat—and the technology at work in the cockpit is often left a mystery to passengers. Thankfully, Emirates has given the public a backstage pass into the cockpit of the world's largest passenger plane. In their latest 360-degree video, two Emirates pilots show aviation enthusiasts and curious (or anxious) fliers the interior of the Airbus A380's cockpit. Filled with hundreds of buttons, screens, and gadgets, the Emirates A380 features new computers that connect the pilots directly to the airline's control center in Dubai and a program that acts as a kind of Google Street View for pilots. Also new are the plane's exterior cameras above and below the plane to help with taxiing.
Click and drag to move through the cockpit during the video and make sure to look up. There are a startling number of buttons over the pilots' heads.
