what is all the fuss is about with this A380? just another jumbo jet imo. its not flying faster, higher or further than any other passenger plane or breaking new ground with cutting edge technology. when did you last heard some1 rave about a ol tanker? big isn't always better. on the other hand Concorde is by far a more impressive plane. it achieve something that deem not possible at its time.
dude at least try to be a little more constructive and imaginative with your criticism. Maybe try to compose a meaningful sentence with more than five words?
a machine is a michine, doesnt matter much who makes it, japanese can make things the same way and with the same materials as germans. It's jsut that japanese have determines that people want affordable cars, while german auto manufacturers who dont have the option of cheap labor, tend to promote the image of german cars being superior because they are expensive. anyways, the a380 is pretty damn sexy. I'll get one after my gulfstream 550.
I'm not German, but everyone in the world knows that German engineers are famour for the quality they deliver. A good example is the car business, where German brands are known for their quality and American brands are known for being crappy.
German cars are not known for having outstanding quality. Its the Japanese that top that catagory, mainly Toyota. And the Airbus 380 is no different, it was plagued with production problems and caused Airbus to lose more money than ever before in 2006.
dude...i aint german..or european for that matter...live in asia...both the cars i own are japanese...toyota n honda...but....GERMAN CARS r THE BEST....GERMAN MACHINERY ROCKS...u cant compare the japanese crap with em
Well I'm sorry to say that, as a passenger, you don't pick out the plane you want to fly with. The airlines do that for you...And since Europe has a large amount of airlines (and American airlines are bankrupt or almost bankrupt), they will prefer Airbus over Boeing. The airlines from the Middle East have also a preference for European products.
Personally, i'd rather fly with the upcoming Boeing 787 Dreamliner. I am not a fan of Airbus, and not a fan of A380 either. I still think Boeing is the best in the aircraft manuf. industry; Boeing 777 being the best aircraft so far.
sick plane...and i agree with bennovitz...you guys sound like a bunch of fags...who cares what country built this plane...your just jealous that the american engineers didnt have the balls to build a full double decker...
are most of you kids commenting around 10 years old? why all the flaming euro vs. us? were all part of the same heritage - old world and new world - we need to stick the fuck together. were democraties. Personally I don't give a f... if it's from france or us - as long as the people building it gets a fair share.
Airbus people are pricks...ever try working with one of their pompous german engineers, they hate Americans. Boeing is now poised to take over a huge market share of commercial airplanes for the nest ten years. Heil hitler to the germans!
ugly ? I don't think so !!! I think you're just ... jealous !!! but don't worry it's normal , you can be ! Airbus is better than boeing for a long time now !! After Concorde, airbus A380 !!! and your boeing 787 will have another ennemy : Airbus A350
You should search a little more before speaking and in this case you will be aware that A350 is no more a concept but a plane which will come on the market in 2012 and millions of compagnies have already ordered it, maybe in europe we are a little bit more aware, it would be probably normal, but the Airbus A350 arrives on the airlines companies soonly (especially on Air France)
Actually it's not French. The Engines are Rolls Royce (British) the wings were built by BAe (British) And the rest of it was built in Spain, Germany and then ASSEMBLED in France.
Actually, all the parts of the nose of the plane are French except the air conditioning which comes from the USA and the cap which is made in Belgium. Some parts of the fuselage, like the wing spar box (where the British wings are connected) are fully made in France. Even the avionics are made by Thales.
Added to that, the engines are not systematically British since the Trent 900 (US engines) are available too. Like in the automotive industry, an aircraft manufacturer is nothing without its subcontractors which are, in the case of the A380, from all over the world : Japan, USA, Switzerland and above all from France (Thales, Safran, and many EADS subsidiaries)...
All in all this plane is not French, British or even European, it's above all a worldwide aircraft. I doubt no Brazilian or Indian engineer has been involved into the project. (No doubt there are more German engineers involved, tho. :D)
Beauty is in the eye of... et cetera. I think the wings of the A380 are such a lovely shape. Minus the wings, reminds me of a killer whale with the tall dorsal fin. Killer Plane! Makes the 747 have no porpoise! *cringe*
lol...amazing feat of engineering? is that why they are late due to poor designs. Is that why customers are buying Boeing planes? heehee, This plane will bankrupt airbus and the a350? another joke....airbus has just sealed Boeings bright future with these ''stunning pieces of engineering'' laughing out loud!!
747 are the best looking jubo jet ever. if only this had the same kind of front as a 747 then it would look nicer, and its tail is so flipping tall. I know this is what makes it fly, if only aerodynamics worked differently.

The a380 just holds more people, which means if there is a plane crash with an a380, more people die. Not very impressive IMO.
