@brianofearth And the announcer is trying to keep the crowd calm with a "don't worry about that massive plane losing control and killing us all" tone.
B-In extreme crosswind, both Boeing and Airbus instruct to keep the wings level until the very last moment to avoid an engine nacelle hit, ie you have to fly the plane "crabbing" all the way down to the ground to keep it veering out of the center, considering the inertia of this kind of plane. The main undercarriage of this plane is designed to withstand landings with a crabbing angle of nearly 30 degrees! (it's exactly the same with a 747, by the way)
For that cross wind landing it must have carbon Fiber wings since aluminium will tear overtime, besides, these planes are supposed to last over thirty years !!
holy crap! That A380 is insane, Its one of my favorites though, and they say a full grown man can stand up in the closest part of the wing to the fuselage, And after that incident where the rolls royce Trent 900 blew apart over the ocean and punctured the wing they have to change all of the engines on all of the A380 800's
@mrpeopleonfire Those wings are a design masterpiece. They cover an area up to 840m square allowing the A380 to land at 135k, the same as an A320, yet it is 7 times its weight. Given the configuration of the landing gear, it is no more damaging to a runway surface than a 747.
@BOACMach2 On the contrary, they are no masterpiece at all compared to Boeing's extremely variable wing geometry which is much more difficult to design and implement. The Airbus wing has a great deal of loft that is hard to bleed off - the pilot does not have fine control over the landing as with say a 777 - this is done for passenger comfort (A320, the softest landing possible!). But the A380 tends to loft far down the runway which is very bad, because eventually the pilot has to drop it down.
@antimatterXXXIII What extremely variable geometry are you referring to? Wing design is like any aerodynamic project, a question of function and form, something the A380 has coped with very well given design constraints and complying with category F status. There is absolutely no doubt this specific wing design optimises performance and handling characteristics and I completely disagree with your view that the A380 suffers from over heavy landing. Pilots report it a dream to fly and control.
@BOACMach2 The ground effect keeps the plane lofting down the runway until the pilot is forced to kill the power and drop it down - you see this in many A380 landings under less than ideal conditions (gusts and crosswinds). You can get away with it in a smaller plane but this regular beating to the gear and spar will tell eventually. Compare to the 777 wing which allows maximum control even in bad conditions.
@antimatterXXXIII My observations on the links are as follows: both aircraft landings are executed perfectly, given conditions etc. but if anything the Airbus absorbs the impact slightly better. It's clear the A380's wings flex a whole lot more but that's no surprise given the fact it carries 4 engines (each weigh some 8 tons I believe) and during the design phase, engines 1& 4 were repositioned to assist with the distinctive "gull wing" shape so natural for t/o & landings (cont')
@antimatterXXXIII All wings are designed with flexibility a function and the alloys developed for the A380 are designed to cope not only with this model but also the 900 series. I hear what you're saying re. wing spars, time will tell I guess. As for the landing gear, that has been designed with the 900-1000 series, so if anything is more than capable of handling the weight. As I said earlier, the landing speed is the same as the A320 which is a testimony to the lift carrying characteristics.
@BOACMach2 Yes of course, but I think Airbus would have done better to concentrate on the A350 and dropped this project, which I think is destined to be a huge loss for them in both revenue and prestige. There is a quality about it of not having been thought through, either in bare engineering issues or market realities. I applaud their bold spirit but it all comes down to fuel and mechanical stresses :)
@antimatterXXXIII Re. your last comment, only time will prove it to be a wise move (or otherwise) but I've no doubt there is a degree of kudos and pride with their achievement. I do believe the project will turn a profit, be it 5 or 10 years, given reasonable economic recovery. I understand 480 sales is the break even point and given there are 240 firm orders with options added, I believe it will be more common in the skies than people think, especially in Asia and the Middle/Far East.
@antimatterXXXIII as for the marketability aspect, I have greater confidence on that front, given very positive feedback from passengers to date. Emirates report people actually ask for it over the 777 which is praise indeed and they are planning to order a further 30 if press reports are true. Asiana's recent order was prompted by their concern they would lose market share to Korean Air, who receive the 1st of their A380's this year. There's also concern from ANA who believe SQ will take custom
@antimatterXXXIII From Haneda and other Japanese hubs. I do believe the A380 is used more as a strategic tool to draw custom from other airlines and Emirates are almost promoting this fact, much to the chagrin of the major European airlines. There's no doubt the niche market is comparatively small, but it's also very wealthy. Load factors on A380's average 78-80% when flight break even is 65% capacity. It will never match the 747 nor 777 in terms of sales but it does offer a real experience.
@antimatterXXXIII I have to add that whilst some landings are undoubtedly heavy, in my experience both as an observer and passenger, it lands as well as any aircraft flying today and better than most. I really don't see this issue of "loft" that you refer to and if anything "ground effect" sucks the aircraft down; not repel it as you infer.
You still haven't explained what you meant by the "extremely variable geometry" (presumably on a Boeing commercial aircraft?)
@BOACMach2 watch?v=i5pGlw4o3Ks - the beating on the wing spar must be just enormous. The wings flap in response to power application! Landing under these conditions seems like a controlled crash. Compare to 777 crosswind landing video - you'll see exactly what I mean.
@BOACMach2 Here's the 777 in the same, or worse conditions. Since we have to assume the A380 pilots are among the best to fly, the difference is all in the wing. Having those enormous engines outboard on the A380 doesn't help!
@BOACMach2 ..the net result is you see a lot of these hard landings with huge wing flexure and tremendous stress on the landing gear. Airbus are going to discover that you can't simply scale up the wing of the A320. The maintenance of these enormous wings and undercarriage is going to cost them dearly.
That was a heavy landing - intentional or otherwise. The aircraft was crabbing possibly due to the heavy crosswinds but at 0:12 the pilot was clearly going heavy on the massive rudder to stabilise the plane. Great job though !!
For Sale : Air Bus A380 low milage good condition very very slight bend and crack in both wing spars shouldnt be a problem , recommend lowering payload by 100,000 lbs ? also some new tires wouldn't hurt either currently parked at runway 36 Oshkosh WI
@GolfgreenThe to you and everyone else, THEY ARE MADE TO FLEX and a hell of a lot more than that. look up some videos of stress tests on modern airliner wings. they tips will damn near go vertical before the fail. or look at any modern airliner IN FLIGHT versus static on the ground the wings have a good amount of flex at cruise even with no turbulence
@mjm9536 i agree on the flex of the wings.. that was a short field landing..i think a little more power would have made nicer landing..the thing is the companies dont want the pilots doing hard landings...perfect crosswind landing other then the hard landing...
That is a hard landing. Dear god that plane is massive, saw a couple beside the 747 at heathrow and my god is that thing gigantic. I have never flown an aircraft even remotely big but am I wrong to think he rotated too late on approach, that being said I haven't had much experience on crazy crosswinds. i would like to know though.

@XX737 no it isn't. The 787 is a replacement for the 777. The A380 is built to be the biggest passenger jet on the planet. Its passenger capacity if I'm not mistaken is almost double of the 787. Same goes for cargo capacity. It isn't as fuel efficient as the 787(I wonder why lol). Airbus currently doesn't have an answer to the 787. They are trying with the upcoming a350xwb. That is the comparable plane to the 787.
@ztunelover did u know that the a380 didnt have cables for its ailerons, rudder, and vertical stabilizer? it uses electronic signals (an electric failure will practically paralyze the aircraft with no reliable backup; isnt that insane!!) and; a 777 has more seating than a 747. <--that's fact. my dad is the lead test engineer for boeing on the 787(:
@XX737 I did know that. It is cocky on the part of airbus but they do have a cascading setup, so there are multiple backups. But I still believe there should be a mech backup. But thats just me.Im talking MCTOW. Passenger capacity-wise, the a-380 is unmatched. I know that much. Hell the zero fuel weight of a A380 is more than the MCTOW of the 787. On what basis are you comparing the two? The 787 is the rival to the a350xwb. simple as that. The A380 is in a class of its own.
@ztunelover I think you meant that the B787 is to replace the B767 which is comparable in size. The 777 is still way to new (in the airplane world) to be replaced. The B767 line will be modified into becoming fuel tankers for the Air-Force. By the way, the new B747-8 is to be in the class of the A380 and will actually be longer in length then the Airbus. True, it will have about 100 seats less but will cost less to purchase, operate and airports don't have to be modified.
He certainly looks smooth enough on approach but it looks like the crosswind died for a second right before touchdown...all that extra headwind drops and so does he...right onto the runway...but oh what a wonderful display of wingflex and rudder use!!!
@JDvorak2009 You think these guys are bad? You should have a look at some of the crap the video card (Nvidia vs ATI) fan boys post here. Biggest bunch of losers this side of the black stump. Some people just shouldn't be in the gene pool. Anyway, this is one cool but damned ugly bitch isn't it? Sure was a "positive" touchdown :-)
The only people who think this is a bad landing are Boeing fans.
Yes it was harder than a normal landing - with difficult conditions. Crosswind on a smallish runway, and I also understand the aircraft had to stop fairly quickly to make the taxiway that could accomodate it. The landing didn't cause any damage to the undercarriage and the aircraft flew the next day post inspection.
A true hard landing would have caused atleast some damage or even a tyre blow out.
way to go with keeping the camera on the fucking plane, its only the biggest commercial airliner in the world, its not like its a difficult thing to keep centered in the viewfinder. Fucking doosh.
really, is it required for a380 pilots to make hard landing, I haven't seen a resonable or soft landing made by an a380. 747s can produce the softest of landings, but I would like to see a perfect landing on an a380.
Wow, some array of comments concerning this particular landing. But, as a rookie aviator (less than 1,000 hrs.), let me say this: Yes, my friends, it was a HARD landing (did you not notice how much the wings flexed?). Having "read" several flight data recorders from aircraft experiencing hard landings, I would say the "vertical component" when those wheels hit the deck was a sight to behold! BOOM! What would you guess - 2.5 to 2.8 G's when he "hit"? Hummm, I wonder.
Is this Runway not as wide as most or is this aircraft really that oversized?
That was a severe crosswind! It looks like he didn't flair enough or perhaps pulled the throttles back too soon because he was nervous about going over the centerline of the runway.
Well, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
Shut u damn helicopter pilot! U need a brain and a glasses, READ WHAT I WRITE, I have REAL pilot friend that flyies in A340 and B747!!! can't u understand??? They say that it is normal crosswind landing! HA if it wasn't windy, it was a terrible landing!!! ok??!!
U all need brains, I can't understand how u all become a pilot, Oh godddd skies aren't safe. First read what I write! I'm not saying that perfect smooth landing, I'm saying NORMAL CROSSWIND LANDING. Ass holess!
That wasn't a NORMAL CROSSWIND LANDING!!! You have now no right to speak about a matter you know NOTHING about. DID YOU NOT SEE THE WINDFLEX AND THE CENTERLINE ADJUSTMENTS MADE!!! You are a complete idiot.
YEAh I have seen all, and that pilot take off from runway again and landed again, plane jumped! After landing he made a left rudder, then given to much, make a right to correct it but he or she made it too much, it was going off from the runway very bad but I'm telling u that APPROACH!!! Why u can'T understand??? Really I don't know!
yeah lets get down to topic, I admit that getting centerline was bad and I'm not saying that it was a perfect landing, it is a fine landing for a crosswind. Why u can't admit that? If u be happy to I admit that it was a bad landing, I can admit, just be happy I don't want anything.
no matter what happened, that ruddor control was simply amazing.

I have gone through the posts : it is amazing to read how many Americans can write so poor English, how many of them can be so insulting towards other nationalities.
How many of them do want to believe this video could possibly be demonstrating a dramatically hard landing ?!
It is amazing to read so much hate and contempt on Airbus, the leading planemaker for... just five years in a row.
Patriotism is one thing. Spitting on every other nation is something else...

ugly compared to the 787 Dreamliner

@XX737 This isn't comparable to the 787. This is if possible a comparo to the 747.

@ztunelover hey; wow; the 787 was designed to COMPETE with the a380!! *sigh* marijuana kills *nodding head*
XX737 1 year ago
@XX737 no it isn't. The 787 is a replacement for the 777. The A380 is built to be the biggest passenger jet on the planet. Its passenger capacity if I'm not mistaken is almost double of the 787. Same goes for cargo capacity. It isn't as fuel efficient as the 787(I wonder why lol). Airbus currently doesn't have an answer to the 787. They are trying with the upcoming a350xwb. That is the comparable plane to the 787.

@ztunelover did u know that the a380 didnt have cables for its ailerons, rudder, and vertical stabilizer? it uses electronic signals (an electric failure will practically paralyze the aircraft with no reliable backup; isnt that insane!!) and; a 777 has more seating than a 747. <--that's fact. my dad is the lead test engineer for boeing on the 787(:
XX737 1 year ago
@XX737 I did know that. It is cocky on the part of airbus but they do have a cascading setup, so there are multiple backups. But I still believe there should be a mech backup. But thats just me.Im talking MCTOW. Passenger capacity-wise, the a-380 is unmatched. I know that much. Hell the zero fuel weight of a A380 is more than the MCTOW of the 787. On what basis are you comparing the two? The 787 is the rival to the a350xwb. simple as that. The A380 is in a class of its own.
ztunelover 1 year ago
@ztunelover I think you meant that the B787 is to replace the B767 which is comparable in size. The 777 is still way to new (in the airplane world) to be replaced. The B767 line will be modified into becoming fuel tankers for the Air-Force. By the way, the new B747-8 is to be in the class of the A380 and will actually be longer in length then the Airbus. True, it will have about 100 seats less but will cost less to purchase, operate and airports don't have to be modified.

He certainly looks smooth enough on approach but it looks like the crosswind died for a second right before touchdown...all that extra headwind drops and so does he...right onto the runway...but oh what a wonderful display of wingflex and rudder use!!!

@JDvorak2009 You think these guys are bad? You should have a look at some of the crap the video card (Nvidia vs ATI) fan boys post here. Biggest bunch of losers this side of the black stump. Some people just shouldn't be in the gene pool. Anyway, this is one cool but damned ugly bitch isn't it? Sure was a "positive" touchdown :-)

The only people who think this is a bad landing are Boeing fans.
Yes it was harder than a normal landing - with difficult conditions. Crosswind on a smallish runway, and I also understand the aircraft had to stop fairly quickly to make the taxiway that could accomodate it. The landing didn't cause any damage to the undercarriage and the aircraft flew the next day post inspection.
A true hard landing would have caused atleast some damage or even a tyre blow out.

this is not hard landing it's test flight and should be like this and also it's cross wind heavy landing

really, is it required for a380 pilots to make hard landing, I haven't seen a resonable or soft landing made by an a380. 747s can produce the softest of landings, but I would like to see a perfect landing on an a380.

In my view, the pilot underestimate the strength of the crosswind.
From that way, he have to adjust the controls with intensity very late.
I classify like a hard landing whit a significant PIO.

Wow, some array of comments concerning this particular landing. But, as a rookie aviator (less than 1,000 hrs.), let me say this: Yes, my friends, it was a HARD landing (did you not notice how much the wings flexed?). Having "read" several flight data recorders from aircraft experiencing hard landings, I would say the "vertical component" when those wheels hit the deck was a sight to behold! BOOM! What would you guess - 2.5 to 2.8 G's when he "hit"? Hummm, I wonder.
mmichaeldonavon 2 years ago
It was quite hard.
Is this Runway not as wide as most or is this aircraft really that oversized?
That was a severe crosswind! It looks like he didn't flair enough or perhaps pulled the throttles back too soon because he was nervous about going over the centerline of the runway.
Well, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

No it was an Airbus A380 demo plane. In the future, it will be use as the test aircraft with future Airbus part such as A350 engine and etc.

Shut u damn helicopter pilot! U need a brain and a glasses, READ WHAT I WRITE, I have REAL pilot friend that flyies in A340 and B747!!! can't u understand??? They say that it is normal crosswind landing! HA if it wasn't windy, it was a terrible landing!!! ok??!!

U all need brains, I can't understand how u all become a pilot, Oh godddd skies aren't safe. First read what I write! I'm not saying that perfect smooth landing, I'm saying NORMAL CROSSWIND LANDING. Ass holess!

That wasn't a NORMAL CROSSWIND LANDING!!! You have now no right to speak about a matter you know NOTHING about. DID YOU NOT SEE THE WINDFLEX AND THE CENTERLINE ADJUSTMENTS MADE!!! You are a complete idiot.
Mav1843 2 years ago
YEAh I have seen all, and that pilot take off from runway again and landed again, plane jumped! After landing he made a left rudder, then given to much, make a right to correct it but he or she made it too much, it was going off from the runway very bad but I'm telling u that APPROACH!!! Why u can'T understand??? Really I don't know!

You can't speak English can you? You need to rephrase that because it was WAY TO JUMBLED to understand.

Ha, your funny. Let's go back to the original topic. In the end, it was a bad landing. I don't know why you still can't admit it.
Mav1843 2 years ago
yeah lets get down to topic, I admit that getting centerline was bad and I'm not saying that it was a perfect landing, it is a fine landing for a crosswind. Why u can't admit that? If u be happy to I admit that it was a bad landing, I can admit, just be happy I don't want anything.
