Singapore Airlines a380-800 Take Off

[CaptRichardSteiner]

Aeroman, can you give more details of this flight because that captain sound sounds like me! I may be the captain for your flight that day! I work for SIA a380 pilot.

[comsfan09]

what does the 800 in the A380 -800 stand for?

[EmadIV]

This and the 777-300ER are today's quietest planes. Compare it with the dreadful CF6/RB211 powered 747 which really deafens.

[bacalhaucnatas]

Really enjoyed the video. Amazing those huge flaps.

[dooplexa]

Engines are near silent, but those flaps/slats are as loud as heck.

[flarion2345]

ok A380 is awesome! but one thing I was dissapointed was that when you're taking off, its really quiet. One of the main reasons I enjoy flying is hearing the sound of those engines :D

[deadmansvoice]

mwahahha im going to take the A380 for the first time at the end of this month (October), Zurich to Singapore! cant wait they are by far the best airline ive ever taken (best in the world). keep it up :D dont forget to save me a seat when you get your first space ship! this thing is huge!

[Randomness84726]

That thing is as quiet as a 737! It's better then the 747 for sure.

[FistOfUltimatum]

Woah~ I love the spooling.

[ROBANUKA]

i love the ocean

i love the blue blue skyes

[LianzThe1337]

I love how the wings massive size makes it flop around like a piece of paper xD

[mke312]

What a wing! Lol. This is an awesome video! I hope I one day can ride this giant of the sky...

[Fabrice1995]

Awesome video!

Looks like you can also see the 'Wunala Dreaming' in the background!

And if you stop at takeoff and go back to the beginning, you can really see this nice wingflex!

I'll also fly via SYD in summer, but I'll go to Auckland with Qantas! So, i think I'll have to fly 747... :( Would love to fly this quiet bird!

[xdragon9000x]

I AGREE! WITH YOU!

[50RpJ]

singapore a380 kicks qantas a380 in the ass

[LianzThe1337]

Yeah cause singapore was the first airline to get an a380, one of the best airlines in the world, imo :)

[bourneidenty]

hey which row were u seated at? I just booked my seat at row 45!

[lockstocknl]

@my previous comment: nice=niche

[TheAeroman]

Hahaha that's ok :)

[lockstocknl]

Haha 2:35 "ow is it taking off already?!"

cant wait to fly this beast!

[TheAeroman]

@lockstocknl

Yeah that was my older sister saying that lol

The A380 is a great aircraft, but I'm looking forword to the 747-8.

[lockstocknl]

@TheAeroman

Me too, although I probarbly have to morph into a freight container to fly with the 748 :(

[TheAeroman]

Surely some airlines will take the passenger version :P

[lockstocknl]

Currently only Lufthansa unfortunatly. Maybe when it`s flying and some better than expected real world performance comes out. But at the moment the A380 has a substantial CASM advantage.

Lufthansa always has had a very diverse mix of aircraft and is very smart in deploying aircraft in such a way to maximise profit. But don

[TheAeroman]

Well I'd like to see a few more airlines take the 747-8 on board. I'd love to fly them for a living man!

[lockstocknl]

(cont. from previous reply) > But don`t forget it`s pretty certain Lufthansa got a substantial discount on the airframes as they are the launch customer of -8i. These discounts can eleviate the CASM disadvantage for a while and at the same time give Lufthansa even more flexibility.

But Lufthansa`s case is a niche. And IMHO the 747-8i will be a nice aircraft, like the A340-500/600 are today. Serving a few routes were it beats the A380. But the A380 is more efficient on the majority of routes

[TheAeroman]

Yeah only time will tell my friend!!!

[lockstocknl]

Indeed, at least the classical lines of the 747 will grace the skies, even if it is "only" the 747-8F.

In my opinion the 747 is the Porsche 911 of the airliner world. Both have the timeless beauty and lines of a true classic. Where I see the A380 as the new big, efficient family van full with the latest gadgets and technology.

As both an aviation-geek and a gadget-geek, both get my pretty excited :)

[sealalula]

The wing is really huge. I would not be able to see anything If I was seating there

[metalerohead951]

what was that loud sound at 2:26..... is it that thing where the tail scrapes on the concrete?

[sealalula]

No way. It can't be a tailstrike

[hauardel]

when a plane,big like this one, crashes it's become a genocide

[hauardel]

Then isnt a genocide ,its a celebration and we can party

[BrendanIsCool]

werd brah

[TheCARRE74]

Hello!Nice takeoff with SQ!Where you flight to?Nice sunny/cloudy weather when the airplane was up to sky!=)

I hope you be happy for my nice comments to you from me!=)

Give you 5 star for this nice film!=)

Greeting TheCARRE74=)

[powerade159]

was that the seatbelt sign i heard at 2.36? coz that is a bit early for that. sounds like it though

[TheAeroman]

That sound indicates the gear retracting. It is common in Airbus birds.

[powerade159]

ok thanx m8

[TheAeroman]

You're welcome!

[scaremenga]

I can't hear anything. It sounds more like passing wind, rather than four large engines at full throttle! Airbus has come a long way... making the world's largest (commercial) plane that doesn't sound overly loud!

[SonicSpeedy862]

dun u get any headache?

[TheAeroman]

No headaches at all.

[heroknaderi]

i love your video

[TheAeroman]

Thank you :)

[heroknaderi]

nice flight

[flightattendant01]

great video!

but im pretty jealous of you lol

[anzin74]

Pretty? I'm VERY, xD

[abdulsamet95forever]

which airport is that

[MuscLA]

Kingsford-Smith is in Sydney.

[sid77777]

very quiet apart from the flaps! :)

[Drummer1410]

All Airbus' are loud as far as mechanical noise is concerned...flaps and hydraulic pumps can be heard well

[lockstocknl]

Dont forget the famous "barking dog" on the A320 family. Always gets the nervous flyers going haywire :)

But from my experience, and except the barking dog, Airbus is not louder then any other airliner when it comes to mechanical noise. And when it comes to noise during cruise IMHO most Airbusses (esp. the A340) are way quieter then their competitors (the 777 is quite loud in cruise)

[BulgarianInCanada]

Wow what a big wing!

[akuafiqoo]

you must hav a diploma and above 26 years old

[jimmywee94]

hey pal & frenz do you all know what do i need to become a pilot ? can people wearing contact lense be a pilot . and how to be a pilot in singapore ?

thanks

[deswinkat]

Nice plane..very solid texture..

[zackjp]

wow when i went to LA our plane looks like a little regional plane

[primaseason]

wow, even the flaps more noisy than its engines..

[JoeMcNugget37]

big wing

lol

[biggyjurss12]

im amazed i have no idea how they managed to make it so quiet i couldnt even hear the engines powering up.

were yout rying to say that the wings are so large they create that much lift that condensation is created?

ive never heard that theory before.

lol and if i heard the sound those made on a boeing i would shit my pants.

[B787YV]

Very annoying flaps sound, Airbus got to be. I heard that the A380 soon wont fly anymore because airports need to make a special gate for that monster. Also the taxiway is not wide enough

[biggyjurss12]

are you foolish they are all extending and reinforcing there runways

[CaptainFox91]

Its incredible how such huge thing can fly, great Video.

[franzd03]

Jesus Christ, that wing is HUUUGE!!

[emiratescrew]

"""talkative lady""" no offence but it ruined the sound of spooling up of the engines

great plane great video keep it up

[1progressive]

i have that at home

[TheAeroman]

What do you have at home?

[franzd03]

It's a Joke!!! Relax

[Nozferat]

Very nice shallow takeoff...low stress.

[3553]

wow . this is way bigger than i expected

[RobertE02]

Maybe a silly question but why did the member of the cabin crew say "make sure your window shades are up"?...never heard that before. Great vid! Cant believe how quiet it is! :-)

[PrandtlGlawert]

Normative. You´d get astonished if you knew how many things that look REALLY stupid are not so if you think in security terms.

Cheers!!

[sealalula]

Its getting dirty cause it flys everyday and how much dust are there everywhere

[keanzteoh]

hmm. its a new plane and the spoilers are already getting dirty.

[xxxxxironmanxxxxx]

LOLZ.....it was so QUIET!!

[edvigo]

Very nice! Great video! Thank you

[henry160596]

You can hear someone say oh has it taking off already?

[TheAeroman]

Yeah that was my sister lol

Glad you picked that up, proves how quiet the engines really are!

[halogen123]

it's so quiet you can actually hear the announcement echoing!

[slozzie1]

The retraction of the flaps made more noise than the actual take off!

[mitdaphe]

WOW!!! that wing is is MASSIVE!!!

[TheAeroman]

Really? I love the a330 :D

[Elitehero]

airbus a320-100 is best!

[CessnaLegend]

Look at that wing :O
