[logic]

what, roughly is the weight at take off of an average airbus, with say 200 passengers and luggage.?

The new A380 is 560 tonnes (MTOW - maximum take off weight) compared to 440 for a 747 or 170 tonnes for an A300

Not sure if the empty operating weight includes fuel, but add about 20 tonnes for the 200 passengers and their luggage.
