What are all those numbers and letters?
 
What are all those numbers and letters?

They are spec numbers for the texture and viscosity of horse turd that is painted over that was used to build it.
 
I believe that they refer to the max amount of pax being able to carry.

From Wikipedia:

The new Airbus was initially offered in two models. The A380-800 original configuration carried 555 passengers in a three-class configurationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A380#cite_note-86 or 853 passengers (538 on the main deck and 315 on the upper deck) in a single-class economy configuration. In May 2007 Airbus began marketing a configuration with 30 fewer passengers, now 525 passengers in three classes, traded for 370 km (200 nmi) more range, to better reflect trends in premium class accommodation. The design range for the -800 model is 15,200 km (8,200 nmi); capable of flying for example from Hong Kong to New York, or from Sydney to Istanbul non-stop. The second model, the A380-800F freighter, would carry 150 tonnes of cargo 10,400 km (5,600 nmi). The -800F development was put on hold as Airbus prioritised the passenger version and all cargo orders were cancelled. Future variants may include an A380-900 stretch seating about 656 passengers (or up to 960 passengers in an all economy configuration) and an extended range version with the same passenger capacity as the A380-800.
