Airbus A380 Flying Low and Making Turns

[concorde232]

English would be nice.

[SkateboardingSH1]

..ich habe die Frage akustisch nicht verstanden!

[TheYourmother69]

is this german



[rishipeace]

@TheYourmother69 yes, its german ;)

[neilzep]

UGLY FRONT ON THIS PLANE

[Pvjinflight]

@neilzep no its beautiful.

[neilzep]

@Pvjinflight looks like a Beluga whale! LOL

[8justin88]

if i won the BIG lottery(lyk the 300million one) i'd buy one of these. then give people rides for $100 a piece no matter where u sit.

[midfielderlegend]

How that gets off the ground I will never know. simply amazing.

[PuertoRicanVideo]

@midfielderlegend The jet engines push it forward. The wind over the wings lift it off the ground. Now you know!

[midfielderlegend]

@PuertoRicanVideo Very detailed explination. Thank you very much. Coz i actually thought that a magician was making it float!

[PuertoRicanVideo]

@midfielderlegend It's French. Might be like 400 mimes on board, but no magicians.

[Helge129]

@PuertoRicanVideo Assembled in France, but built in France, Germany, United Kindom and Spain.

[Pvjinflight]

@PuertoRicanVideo Hhhhahaha good comment :D

[distumorbenasty]

WHO IS THAT HITLER TALKING??? LET ME ENJOY MY PLANE!

[Greddy305]

@distumorbenasty That was just gay

[marikinaTV]

旋回するときにエレベーターアップしているの分かりますか、

エレベーターアップの力で旋回しておりますね、ラダーで滑らせて­いるのも見られますね。

[Greddy305]

@marikinaTV You're an elevator and sliding ladder salesman???? lol

[md5049]

raip a kid

[TheVWPaddy]

Das Lustige ist das ergend wann welche vom Himmel fallen,Da die RR Triebwerke mängel zeigen.Wohne ihn Hamburg und viele Freunde arbeiten bei Airbus die meinen wenn sie Teile bestellen wegen Mängel bei RR zb Bruchstellen,risse usw dann kommen neue teile Problem ist nur das die schon bei der Lieferung Rosten usw oder mega mängel aufzeigen so das der Flieger lange am boden ist bis mal ein gutes teil da ist,oder RR sagt baut ein und gut ist.Boing ist auch nicht besser mit ihren neuen GFK Flieger.

[240caz]

its meant turn low coz its a flugshow (means air show)

[RodriTheHedgehog]

The pilot is good.

[71vikk]

Вот это самолет с Большой буквы.

[drake123josh]

its is a fking gorgous plane everything about it great job by airbud but i must admit i reallly hate the fact that it uses a joystick instead of a yoke. and of course airbus the plane decides weather pilots action is safe for the plane or not. so plane can be unresponsive. still love the a380 and its a great aircraft

[natebot321]

I was about to kill someone if this was in FSX, as the thumbnail looked FSX ish

[transdrole]

What gets me the most about this plane is the monstrous wing area.

[GeneiDj]

Wonderful Plane , perfect turns , i do like it soo much :)

[RK1Hatty]

I would love to fly aboard one of these aircraft someday. I have the highest respect for it simply because it dare challenge the juggernaut that is the Boeing 747.

[ramboormark]

very ugly.

air bus have such boring planes to fly.

boeing is for pilots, airbus is for bus drivers.

[Peacefulhumanbeing]

Ugly my ass! Simply Beautiful and NO not everybody can produce a plane like this. Not every country has the brainpower, technology, and money to build a plane that is 300 millions dollars each and this advanced! Think before you say some stupid shit. If It is so easy, why don't you go to a school and design an aircraft. Let's see your design! Europe and US are the main manufacturers behind all the aviation masterpieces. They contribute the most. PERIOD!

[SteferNB]

Look up Bombardier CRJ models, regional jets yes, but still it's an aviation masterpiece. Efficient, reliable, etc. Not HUGE, but great planes :)

And yeah, Canadian eh ;)

[drake123josh]

@SteferNB yep ur completely right and europe uses them ALOT especially luftahnsa

[neilzep]

@Peacefulhumanbeing stfu punk,stop being full of yourself. One day you will speak Chinese or Hindi.

[Peacefulhumanbeing]

@neilzep Ha ha you are dreaming or what. One day that bullshit you said is not gonna happen. You watch too many comedies or what! You stfu bitch and go masturbate bf you say junk on youtube. Moron...

[neilzep]

@Peacefulhumanbeing Peacefulhuman? wrong name NAzi. lol

[Peacefulhumanbeing]

@neilzep Germany dude Germany. Not all the Germans were supporter of the Nazi Party. Try to say "You guys are all Nazi's" in Germany now and see what happens. Trust me they hate it except a few dumbass skinheads who have no idea about what is going on around the world. Sorry as losers...

[Sveni40]

Ein technisches Meisterwerk aus Europa! Dafür 5 Sterne

[degyn]

Não sei se é o tamanho dele,más paresse ''estremamente'' fácil pilota-lo.

[mearcat74]

Nice wings

[barthoedemaker]

I don't see what's amazing about i? Just a fat plane with engines, everybody can build that. Now if we talk about Concorde, that's something I can appriciate, sadly it's gone.

[nsgirlskater]

An amazing Plane

[mgwmw]

Get my facts straight?? Really?. Is It not true that any airport that wants the A380 to service it, has to build a brand new terminal just to handle the loading and unloading of passengers. I have my facts straight...

[lockstocknl]

@mgwmw

You dont. Modifications yes, most of the time they are necessary. But a brand new terminal, dude, seriously.....

[absolutemajid]

yeah just modifications like at London Heathrow all that we needed to do was make the aircraft footprint bigger on the ramp (make the centre line bigger and expand the ramp to accomodate the large wing span) and use a special jetbridge that branched into three individual jetbridges we receive Qantas and Emirates A380's everyday now :)

[lockstocknl]

@absolutemajid

Thanks for the response! :)

[whitireia]

No only for the double decker skywalk connection from the terminal to the aircraft.

A380 actually uses less runway on takeoff and landing due to technological advances in propulsion and braking systems.

[mgwmw]

Boeing makes a better Plane, bottom line. Why would you build an airplane that can't even use all the worlds airports?? Not a very smart idea...

[mobius5759]

First, gets your facts straight before posting. The A380 can land at any airport that a 747 can. Not to mention that the A380 which has a 15,200km maximum range beats the 747's 13,450km max range.

Not to say the 747 is better or anything, but numbers don't lie.

And why should anyone care who makes the plane? All that matters is getting to where you want to go.

[lockstocknl]

@mgwmw

You mean when Boeing build the 747 and every airport had to be modifed.

Its called progress, and progress is a smart idea..

[jasonyeozhishen]

i rmb somethihng... when last time.. theres an air-show going on in my country..

i went.. and i saw this A380. EVERyone was hiding under its wing due to the hot Buring sun.. the wing are HUGE !!!!!

[TheNigahiggaa]

You guys are all nerds talking bout all this 747 shit!

[shuffle953]

it isnt a 747 its the a380

[liam786024]

i live at the end of the runway ( Filton ) where they built the first A380, people in my area were the first to see it airborn, we see one every week

[whitireia]

The comfort oppotunities an A380 offers is better than anything Boeing has flying today.

Eventually all those 747-400's are going to needed to be replaced do you think airlines want the 1960's 747.

I think airlines will think about the A380-800, A380-700, A380-900 A380F options over the antiquated 747 former Queen of the skys (now relagated to freighter.

[kidcaptian]

I doubt as the 747-400 gets older that most of the airlines would by the a380. Most airports cant even fir the thing. They may but it but probally also the 747-8 when ever it comes out or the 777 or when the A350 comes out because they are all good for long range and they will probally be able to fit em in airports =). I would really love to fly on an a380 though =)

[whitireia]

And why do you doubt that A380 won't sell when airlines need toreplace their old 747s. What are they going to replace them with? Cessnas? I think your argument has no substance. A380 has better ecoomics than 747 or 747-8I. As you can see747-8I has only one customer (Luthansa) vs 200 A380 orders. Airbus have also said the next wave of A380 will be even lighter by atleast another two tons and that they should be able to squeeze even better economy out of it.

[kidcaptian]

Still I doubt that most airlines would just by the A380 for the long haulers. A380 destinations are limited (due to size)and the 747 still has years to go. Im not a Boeing or Airbus fan btw.

[whitireia]

Airports want the A380 to fly to them because having an A380 on your doorstep means very high landing fees for the airports. It's a sure way of generating mroe revenue. If there is a need to build facilities to support A380, airports will do it because they will make big profits.

A380 even flys to New Zealand which is where I am from to Auckland International airport.

[kidcaptian]

It will be a while though before airports can fit most A380.

[whitireia]

It will be a while before all 200 ordered A380s are built and flying - about 10 years or more. What I can assure you is that airlines and airports are very good at planning for future requirements. Hense if an airline wants to fly to an airport with an A380 the airport in question will definately know years in advanced. This gives plenty of time for this development. The same thing was said when 747 came to the market, now look, 747 is common place these days.

[donnyab]

@whitireia

two tons doesn't sound much of an improvement

[whitireia]

@donnyab Im not sure if you know. But airliners can gain efficiencies simply by reducing weight.

Less weight means the capability to carry more fuel or to fly further with les fuel.

[Attilaakiraly]

At least this plane is Unique in its design!!! The competition the Dreamliner is just waay to conventional!

[kokym8]

it's HUGE !!

[TokyozzFinest]

very agile for it's size

[mysterio818181]

HOPE IT DID NOT CRASHif it did there will be no more airbus 380,s

[redmilkcrate]

I heard a story about one crashing during a handover trial. But it was kept secret by Airbus and the aireline taking it over. Something to do with running the engines up on the runway.

[chenoir]

Well, as the Airbus tests are done in Toulouse which is a pretty big city, and that this aircraft is easy to recognize, (and as there is ALWAYS spotters near Airbus airport), a crash would not have been kept secret more than 1 or 2 hours.

[redmilkcrate]

Well I've looked in to it further. There are a few people putting posts up claiming it was a 380-600. I've found a site with photographs. On my own inspection it doesn't look like a 380. But still a stupid thing to happen!!

[EuropeFactor]

I bet one will have crashed within a year or so.

[nickjb01]

it's already been a year and a half since the first flight.

[EuropeFactor]

Oh it's doing better than I expected then

[323tiim]

@EuropeFactor You were wrong, haha!

[EuropeFactor]

@323tiim Yes, I was wrong. I clearly under-estimated this aircraft

[323tiim]

@EuropeFactor Yeah you did. It may look unsafe, but it aint..

[rommi85]

Or spend less Fuel than 747

[rommi85]

A380 Drinks :D less fuel than B747 or B777 (old one )

[rommi85]

Airbus is better than Boeing

[PoSeiDoNN91]

at crashing

[rommi85]

Flaps and spoilers are built in Finland Patria Industries

[Jonasad]

hope i dont see a crash invesigation of this beast on Nat Geo... xxx

[porkypker27]

DADDY CAN I HAVE ONE???? :D

[hudfadz]

i want one

[MoebiusGer]

made in europe, powered by germans: jürgen thomas is the chief engerneer for the A3XX-programme

[Rachegotter]

I believe Airbus is mostly a French company (check the list of executives and directors). The headquarter is in France, and the planes are assembled in France. Besides, the engines are British (Rolls Royce), not Germans... Germany does play an important part, but surely not central.

[MoebiusGer]

That is correct so not completely: Surely Toulouse is most important location of airbus, but Hamburg work nearly exactly the same many coworkers. The first leader of airbus was a German, from 1970 to 1981 Felix Kracht. Everything which to it came became between Germany and France divided: If the boss of airbus is Frenchman, from EADS the German turned around.. Many German engerneers were considerably involved in the development.

[MoebiusGer]

In Germany modern research is operated, and that is with crucial for good airplanes. Germany does play the important part - without Germany it would give no Airbus. Blöde english Schreiberei...

[Rachegotter]

You're right. Airbus is before all a wonderful Franco-German adventure and success. I agree that Hamburg is a very important site for the assembly of the aircrafts. So is Toulouse.

PS: Ich bin nicht english! Ich bin ein Franzose (ich arbeite in Zueri. Im Juli, ziehe ich nach Freiburg um)

[thegclique]

The British played a part aswell you doosh

[whitireia]

@MoebiusGer I dont doubt you. German are world reknown for their engineering prowess.

[thegclique]

NO. It is not a French Company. It is owned by Europe. The British made the wings and the engines.

[MarkWilliams212]

same here hopefully i'll be on one in about 2 months time.

[MUHOHAHA]

that is one nice airplane. i would lov to go in it too bad i hate flying.

[redmilkcrate]

It is an ugly cumbersome looking thing. But it flies nicely.

[EuropeFactor]

How do you know, have you flown it?

[redmilkcrate]

No I've not flown one. But it looks like it's flying smoothly. You cannot deny it looks stupid. It's like a big fatty!!

[orisei]

haha like the globemaster

that aircraft looks so weird from the bottom, if it flies over head

[Nut360]

it is smooth my cousin has flown in it

[brandon3678]

that's quite a pitch for such a large bird. WOW.

[markston92]

how smooth landing it was..

Very beautiful plane.

[cjracer1000]

no it

it was a terrible landing

[Techno04335]

ppft airbus 380 not bad but not either the new boeing 747-8 coming out soon in 2010

[Dutchdrummer99]

Boeing announced a delay to the 747-8 program, citing limited availability of engineering resources within Boeing. The first 747-8 Intercontinental passenger jet delivery moves from late 2010 to the second quarter of 2011. And the Passenger number on that craft will be a maximum of 467 passengers much less then the 550 in the current A380-800. They are now looking into developing an A380-900 starting in 2010 which could carry 650 passengers in standard configuration.

[jasong19711]

Gorgeous aircraft!

[cjracer1000]

who are you

steevie wonder???

ur obvisouly blind

[fizzlemcgee]

phenominal plane great feat of engineering

[sweetboy81]

English please......

[ibsiab12]

This plane is better than the boeing and For the next 100 years it will never crash except retire them.

[Johnzx2]

True ! This is the most technologic advanced and multi-purpose powerfull big aircraft ever made.

[hugo36lflx]

always and always "propaganda comment"..please try to stop chldren attitude "my planes are the ebst"

[virginianboy1012]

i can tell u this thing wont fly for the next 100 years gas prices will get higher and theyll prob end up retiring it in the next 45 years

[cjracer1000]

umm gas is $1.53

[virginianboy1012]

ok?

[whitireia]

@virginianboy1012 if A380 lasts 45 years it will be a huge success. I think it is for the next 20 - 30years.

[virginianboy1012]

@whitireia I hear you. I can see something much bigger coming from airbus in the coming years. ha

[whitireia]

@virginianboy1012 yep they have a planned streched version of A380 the A380-900 which will hold an additional 100 people over the existing model. In an all economy class the A380-900 can accomodate 900+ people. Also Airbus are developing the all new A350 XWB which will complete against 787 and 777 aircraft.

[bericksen]

As an American I feel some kind of patriotic loyalty to Boeing, but I think this plane is pretty cool. Like they say in the video it could make flying pretty cheap when it is full, but that is a lot of people to go down if one crashes. Of course I also hate the name "Airbus" the planes are cool, but there is NOTHING glorious, let alone glorious, about a bus, even an "airBUS"

[joyfulvulture]

"but that is a lot of people to go down if one crashes"

i dont know why people say that about the A380, its just retarded.

if it wasnt for it you would need roughly two planes to carry the same amount of people from point A to point B. twice the flights = twice the crashes... in the end the same amount of people would die you math wiz.

of course a crash of a fully loaded A380 would automatically be the biggest aviation disaster in history though, lol. its gonna happen someday...

[larenegUK]

In my opinion, if only A380s were used (no other aircraft), then there would be less deaths. Because if we take your example where you need twice the number of aircraft, it can be presumed that there would be twice the chance of a crash (not taking into account any problems hydraulic failure might cause - but the larger aircraft like the 747 would suffer from this too).

[Ricardodelamuerte]

interesting point, but 777s are barely filled these days!! boeing hasn't built a passenger 747 in almost 5 years! yes, as a boeing employee I am a little biased, but the reality is that the world doesn't NEED huge passenger planes like this. plus sure it's bigger, but the 747 put the super jumbo jet on the map.. and is a tried and true platform that will continue reliably in service for many decades to come..

[liOVERLOADil]

Thats because of the current hub-and-spoke system: More destinations by way of smaller commuter aircraft and more stops. Its a good system, but only when fuel is cheap. If fuel raises and stays very high, large aircraft like this would very likely make a comeback.
