Airbus A380 - London's Heathrow First Landing

[bradmedicus]

The 747 may be a little long in the tooth but, it's a far more graceful beauty than this Airbus.

[purpleblue17]

wooooowww..... ini lama sekalii!!!!!!! waktu aku kls 5sd semester 2. 2 bulan sebelum naik ke kelas 6sd.

[lauriersroses333]

awesome plane,big,comfy,quite,even the air u breath in the cabine is PURE! i have flewn this a380 twice.with emirates from london to dubai! ppl who talk shit about this plane are just jealous or they never puttd their ass on a airbus befor :)

[Notorius4]

compare a normal aircraft to the Airbus A380,compare the interior and exterior, trust me you would go maaddd, ive been in the Airbus Aw30 trust me its amazing !!!

[merkenstein]

Schwozznegga. Hahahahahaha!!! Schwozzneggaah. Haaarrrrgggghhh!!!

Yes - 747 is also an old rummage - but more clever than Arnie.

A380 is Einstein!

[HaideryJatt]

Airbus is like a lazy fat ass lad and 747 is like a muscular Arnold Schewazngr. xD

[deathmus30]

i think i ve become ill if i was in that plane

[MaxPayne19146]

So this plane is gona carry some ppl and some milk cans?

[MyTopFun]

Good landing, a little far from the treshhold tho :)

[ChrisBard]

OMG shhite landing! ^^

[wolvesrock002]

Wobble:)

[brasildude1]

thumbs up if all I understood is when they said "eva mendes" at around 0:59 Lmfao random?

[shangooli1]

hard

[TheAvigdor]

very very nice



[rolfsandsyrup]

i do say, any landing you walk away froms a good landing =)

[osama1278]

Now that's an ugly plane.

[MeFFF]

@osama1278

Well, name a big plane that isn´t ugly....... ^^

[osama1278]

@MeFFF C5 Galaxy

[ManiacalMarlboroMan]

a380 sucks how many emergency landings have you seen of a380 since it started?

If its not boeing in not going!

[McLarenMercedes]

@ManiacalMarlboroMan

I can think of ONE. That was the faulty Rolls Royce engine.

You must be a troll. Not a very good one though, because good trolls aren't so easily spotted.

[ManiacalMarlboroMan]

@McLarenMercedes Im wasnt even fukin trolling.

[jNS278]

@ all a380 haters!: Envy is the highest form of recognition ;)

[kittyburger000]

Lol i like how suddenly all the people on this video know how to land a plane properly...

[klaprat]

@sfgiantsPOSEY28 ...-.-

[PaJ2k10]

the first class looks terrible :P

[Ibran8787]

what a wing span

[ThatKidKnows]

@chanctonbury63 they r not propane tanks. They hold water as ballast, to balance the aircraft, and simulate it being fully loaded! :)

[klaprat]

ouhhhh bad landing:D:D:D:D xD

[sfgiantsPOSEY28]

@klaprat ohh we would like 2 see you try!!!

[NOG1997]

what i hate of A380 is the joystick or whatever it has to control the aircraft because is on the left and im right handed.

[dutchbhproduction]

@NOG1997 you know you can sit on the other seat aswell right ? it doesnt bite.

[NOG1997]

@dutchbhproduction yes but they give you more money for sitting on the right sit.

[Phil1480]

looks a little bit like an rc jet

[sukiesoya]

this is flight sim

[mylife1221]

@sukiesoya Really? It's real. Look more closely.

[NA734]

Thats a frankly crappy landing. But considering the size of this aircraft, the pilots didn't do all that bad after all did they?

[ilovesudan]

that was a scary landing

[Nitroboss2007]

this plane is so fuckin ugly!!!! everything is oversized ....

[chanctonbury63]

So what are the propane tanks for??

[Y0UMADAFAKA]

@chanctonbury63

The propane tanks are there for the convenience of terrorists

[drmoda89]

wow it's so big

[pcadam1]

This pilot should be able to land this easy not crappy.. they are skilled to fly them nice and not shit...

[SodomGomorrahWaDC]

ASA BUTTERFIELD

[jeffly1500]

For all the stupid people who say its a shit landing... you dont know nothing about aviation. Its a good landing ;)

[drumbum109]

@jeffly1500 it is such a good landing with such a big plane so ye all the people saying that it is just shit u r a fuck

[ManiacalMarlboroMan]

@jeffly1500 Well u think u seem to know alot. And tht landing wasnt very good it was hard and landed lop sided.

[jeffly1500]

@ManiacalMarlboroMan

It was, why? Crosswind landing, big plane = hard to land. The pilots did a great job.

[ManiacalMarlboroMan]

@jeffly1500 What do u mean by hard to land? Ur saying as if the pilots have to carry it to the ground.

[shredizzle]

Was the pilot drunk?

[ThaoDan]

R they learning how to fly?

[iLoveBlocPartyJK]

its funny how americans feel so treatened by this plane, makes you like it even more :)

[MonacoBlast]

@iLoveBlocPartyJK Whatchyu Talkin' bout Wilis?

[TruyC]

@iLoveBlocPartyJK Just like the Concorde, Americans hated it too, just because it was European. Just because Europe had an supersonic passenger plane, they wanted one too, but failed in creating one because they where too ambitious and (ofcourse) wanted it to be bigger and faster.

[flight110]

@iLoveBlocPartyJK I dont know a single person here (in America) that hates the A380. Granted most have never even heard of it, but everyone thats into aviation and has heard of it thinks its a really cool aircraft.

[AustrianAtheist]

I totally agree! Europe buys tons of F16, but when the US thinks about buying one European tanker...there is panic^^ It is always funny, how Europe is perceived as an economic threat, while 20% of US imports come from China^^

[MrGrassam]

@iLoveBlocPartyJK Threatened is not the right word. Disgusted maybe

[KCBOYZ1307]

@iLoveBlocPartyJK FU

[davetileguy]

@iLoveBlocPartyJK Boeing for100 yrs has been a profitable company,it's not propped up by the Gov. Boeing built the Bombers saved chickenshit France . Built parts of the Space Shuttle,satellites,rockets,cru­ise missiles,hydrofoil ferries,frigates,Helicopters,

V-22 osprey,AWACS radar defense,GPS satellites,F-22 raptor,International space station,Ground mobile radios,Air tankers,B-52,B1 lancer,C-17,c,130,F-15,F-18AND AIR FORCE ONE! Airbus is a jr baby that makes a couple airliners. LMFAO!!

[Destro7000]

that thing looks like it's going to break

[silverboots000]

this landing was intentional to show how well the plane can handle situations in the crowdest of airports

[phasilian]

@silverboots000 Would be a bit scary if the landing was not intentional don't you think? Trying to stay cruising at 40.000ft but the bird landed instead. lol

[mmcclain88]

imagine having one of these as a private jet

[karbengo]

@mmcclain88 I heard an emirate Billionary already purchased one of these as his private jet.

[TailsProduktions]

give the pilot a break,its the first time that bird touched down on Heatrow,and i think there where no passengers aboard,so maybe its also testing its systems.

[seeyousaturday]

damn. my grandma can land better than that

[bulbadox]

pilot has gas problems.

[rusox32]

strong landing

[kenmilsom]

Nice

[bragsol]

0:50 Look at the small shit plane in relation to that big A380

Hehe

[starlionblue]

@bragsol I'd love to see the look on the air traffic controller's face if the small plane's pilot argues "I've got the right of way! Let me through!"

[Freiheitvlc]

I always was told that the bussiest airport of europe is Frankfurt am Main....

[dantiri]

Airbus are doing today what Boeing did in the sixties. It took them 40 years to make something bigger. That's not innovating. In my opinion Boing are still far ahead, I mean, look at what they're doing with the 787, now that's innovation.

[omgallusuck]

@dantiri have u heard of the a370 its also an innovative plane, the airbus version of the b 787

[ronny4ever123]

terrible landing + terrible, ugly plane= WTF! long live the 747, queen of the skies!!!!

[emptyangel]

It's nice to have the pleasure of flying on one!

[salvatorearcilesi]

kauf ich mir.....für den urlaub

[coashddjj2]

Wow, I knew this thing was big, but parked up at a terminal, I get the full picture now. That thing is huge.

[applefox77]

The first thing I though was wow what a shitty landing. haha Glad to see everyone else agrees. I still favor the Boeing 787. The Boeing 787 is a beautiful aircraft inside and out. This airbus seams like a good plane but is obviously hard to land and the fuel used in that thing my god talk about a metric shit ton lol also it is ugly as hell on the outside. The inside looks beautiful however.

[dsequens]

Naisi, you say there has never been a plane crash resulting from computer failure? Please keep in mind Air France 296 26th June 88 that crashed due to a software issue before you make statements like that. Never say Never

[slaneyboi]

No man if the computer fails there is always two skilled pilots in the cockpit, and there are 4 backup computers in a normal civil aircraft.

[ShadowRSonic]

I like my whale D:

[SYLMARFB12]

THAT WAS A PRETTY BAD LANDING

[ronny4ever123]

@fachy1981 other way around mate. :P

[fachy1981]

@ronny4ever123 747-8 is a cheap and boring replacement for the classic 747-400 series in my mind's eye. Boeing did not want to invest in an all new 747 replacement as it was seen too risky a business venture. I applaud Airbus once again for taking the risk and pushing the envelope in terms of innovation and design. I think Airbus have pushed aviation 20 years into the future whereas Boeing is still tinkering with a 1960's old rusted antique 747 design.

[ronny4ever123]

@fachy1981 the 747 has already benn an enormous success. why risk making an entirely new plane of it might not be succesful or worse, not even a very safe plane. You saw that landing. like a said before in another comment I made, bigger and newer is not always better.

[youngfart40]

@fachy1981 Ha ha your funny you should go into comedy. 380? innovation? What is so innovative about it? Nothing. It is just a huge plane, thats all. Its basically a 340 with 2 decks, thats it. Do you want innovation? try the 787, that is a truly new and unique design that will take aviation to a new era. You, my fiend sounds like you know nothing about airplanes.

[omgallusuck]

@fachy1981 true i mean airbus has already adapted fly by wire instead of heavy hydraulic planes

[lisdoddestraat]

airbus a380 is good, but i think the boeing 747-8i will be beter... and i like the 747 more than the a380 the 747 is much more a queen and always will be the queen of the skyes

[ozzuBuzzo]

WOW lol the A380 Likes Hard landings. But yeah Great Aircraft.

[RSultimecia102]

the only reason the A380 can fly is because of its winglets as its something to do with aerodynamics

[cas111498]

is that one of them chemtrail planes?

[GLADIETOR]

i have 5 of those

[qadsawe88]

smell my ass with deep breath when i`m start farting

[GLADIETOR]

shut up

idiot....

[qadsawe88]

i think u need more farts

[rx7monster]

lol

[Donfilomeno]

amazing giant.

[fachy1981]

Boeing 747 is out. This aircraft is going to beat the fuck out of Boeing. Good work France and Great Britain. Just like General Motors got bashed by the Japanese, Boeing will also be bashed by the British and French. Obama should throw thr 747 in the garbage or give it free to a homeless person on the road as a free house the Air Force One. Obama should get the A380 and travel the world in class.

[ozzuBuzzo]

@fachy1981 The Boeing is American so USA would probz want an American Craft.

[Nortone123]

Little wobbly eh?

[kaferere]

A laptop keyboard and a gaming joystick. Just what I want to think about when I'm 20 miles up over the Atlantic ocean in mid-winter. People's lives in the hands of software developers? F**K THAT! Windows crashing is one thing, blue screen of death on an aeroplane is another. I think it's insane.

[naisi]

Luckily, these planes are developed by people with a lot more capacity on their brains than you feature. People who tend to think that software that reacts to human interference is the safest way to fly a plane. And one would believe that they are right when considered that 90% of all plane crashes result from human failure. There has never been and will never be a plane crash resulting from computer failure if the computer has been rightly adjusted by the pilot.

[kaferere]

@naisi, The clue is in your last sentence "if the computer has been rightly adjusted by the pilot" Given that most pilots are chronic alcoholics, I don't have any faith in their ability to walk in a straight line let alone input the correct data. There is nothing and I mean NOTHING that you could teach me about computers, It's part of my business and the failure rate is catostrophic which is the reason why pilots hate new planes. If you were panicked would you rather input data or pull a stick?

[naisi]

Please go play elsewhere, kid. This is simply childish, pilots are no more alcoholics than any other occupational group.

Pilots who fly large computerized jets are highly trained professionals, as is anyone who designs such an aircraft.

A plane has multiple systems for each purpose, the failure of one is in no way an issue for the passengers security.

The probability of a multiple system failure is lower than zero. One in two million flights crashes, this rate is this low for a reason.

[kaferere]

@naisi Maybe if you had mixed with Lufthansa/BA/Al Italia aircrews at their turnaround points in the Middle East and attended their famous "barbecues" like I did for years, and watched the captains checking out of the hotel 2 hours after passing out in a pool of their own vomit barely able to stand, maybe then you'd change your mind. I was very comfortable flying round the world for years until I started mixing with cabin crew. One long party. There's only one kid here and I'm afraid it's you.

[Cyberwwwizard]

Shit landing, get rid of that pilot

[14CPO]

imagine how long it takes everybody to deplane form that thing. Deplaning a 777 fully loaded can be a nightmare, imagine what this must be like. Is there a limit ot how bigger we can make aircraft. IF we could make a runway 10 times wider than we currently have and make engines 10 times the size of what we have would they still fly at subsonic speeds if given large enough wings. Why not make an aircraft 5 times the size of the a380. would it be possible with the right engines?

[naisi]

Technically there is now limit on how far we can go, if equipped with large enough wings and engines literally anything can fly.

Planes however are limited to a 80 by 80 meter box, larger aircraft cannot be handled by airports. The A 380 only fits in this limit because it has wingtip fences, otherwise its wings would be too long.

But theoretically, if we would redesign our airports, we could make planes may times as big.

The main problem is there will be no demand for it.

[JJMac2k9]

lmao, everyone who says this was a bad landing, do you wanna try landing that beast? for its size and weight, thats actually a very good landing.

[sonicfan7]

Infact the plane performs excellent in crosswinds. However poor to ok in windsheers. He did a manual landing though, should have used the autoland though.

[jancoetzer12]

MSSAVE rudder! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[whitireia]

Just a typical crosswind landing. The pilot had to stay awake for this landing - it was probably auto landing for the most part.

[naisi]

This was a fully manual landing.

[delcob]

big ass plane C saw landings......must b the wind

[gsmustea]

wtf this is beyond huge

[meganalo]

I love everyone saying it was a bad landing. Did you notice the size of the plane?? You think it's gonna glide down gently like a bird or something? LOL!

[oneeyelucky]

Was that an hard landing or am I sleepy?

[FlightXSimulator]

What the hell? could it get any worse?

[hefaine]

very bad landing!!

[RFTAEC100]

I think Airbus is exagerating a bit their plane size, this shows how bad the plane performs with a crosswind and I bet this isin't a pilot with 4,000 hrs on turbines, it has to be a veteran pilot to keep this plane in one piece in this landing, lots of ruder to control it, lots of ailarons to keep it leveled, too heavy and the wings can give you a heart atack if you're seating on the window next to them... I wouldn't fly in it, not even for free

[sailesh2001]

look at the ruddder holy shit. controlling thats a handfull

[serratealldemoncrats]

No, it's the french pilots.

[kentFuckas]

@serratealldemoncrats no they are talking in german

[fordxbgtfalcon]

@sailesh2001 the pilots don't do much more than push buttons anymore on these planes, it's mostly computer controlled.

[v5a270]

Shit landing, but good plane

[overclockerfx]

what do you mean shit landing? it was just some crosswind well handled by the pilot ;D

[fatei]

i'd like to see you do better

[v5a270]

i'd like to see YOU do better

[razanet16]

@v5a270 dont call this landing shit this is a very heavy thing dude enough to land like this but yu r right it should have smooth landing ...

[MrLeb0neze]

@v5a270 i know bro

[StarPilot380]

@v5a270 that´s right! :)

[NTBushPilot]

@v5a270 Whats the link to the video where you did it better?

[xerocytesteve]

@v5a270

ANY landing is a GOOD landing :)

[kdmirza64]

@v5a270 I AGREE WITH YOU.

[Skatmanhomer]

they speak german =)

[mrazneelafifi]

too many IRS

[Shreytherockstar1]

not a very good landing.!!

[Justyman87]

It really wasn't... it was yea... pretty bad

[GucciNice]

Damn, it's big..

[P999FFB]

Corr looked abit dodgy!!!!

[fspilot96]

ouch

[phidelt08]

how ugly

[nathanwalker12345678]

if anyone knows will you please message me . Thanks

[nathanwalker12345678]

hey does anyone know where to get the latest flight simulator?? i only have the 2004 version

[sseaheroo]

A little bit hard landing

[cam9408]

no the a380 is too oversized! than the 747! if it an't boeing i an't going lol =]

[COZAM007]

this makes the 747 look like an ant

[ChargerMan1000]

BIG airplane

[DunderMifflinpeople]

they went downn pretty hard on the front gear

[m4ace]

That plane is a Fat Ass when compared to the new 747-8. Boeing's #1!

[movieman162]

Boeing are shit.

[Dawee2000]

Airbus : Boing - 1 : 0

[bajesus666]

spelling-0 your fail-1, and boeing has a better history of aviation, and the largest fleet of aircraft used in every country

[Treetop64]

Shaky landing... 0.0

[EftelFan]

I'd love to see you landing that great airplane!

[Bosniansupamanxx]

@ContinentalAir123 so its 100 yards wide???

[LufthansaA343]

@ContinentalAir123

I don't know where you got that from, but the a380 has a wingspan of about 80 meters. A football field in the NFL is 110 meters. The Hughes H-4 Spruce Goose has a wingspan of 98 meters, which is the longest in the world. Than its the AN-225 Mriya with 89 meters. After that its the a380 800.

[JADAKIZZGURL]

damn that thing is huuuuuuuuuuuge

[carranzapz]

i know ; )

[youngfart40]

that looked like the landings I do On Flight sim;D

[TheHasanJamil]

A stretched version of A380 would be nice.

[mk2389]

you must be retarded if you don't know what crosswinds are.

[mk2389]

whoops meant that for DirectFilms

[DirectFilms]

That landing was really shaky. Boeing 747 is better! Go Boeing!

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have some question about psychology:

*Why do we love flying and enjoy being in the sky?

*why do we want to design and build new aeroplanes?

Besides, Why do we relate freedom and success with flying?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!!

[omnidroid70]

It's too big! When it landed the wings bent and flopped around

[haloist1]

most big planes do that. When a plane lands it is like when u slam ur hand dowwn on a table ur arm wiggles.

[mikail511]

is it just me or was that landing not as smooth as the other ones i've seen....

[karin544]

i know is true...

[futurepilot2394]

THAT WAS AN UGLY LANDING

[Leviathan2k]

Crosswind. There is an approach video of that landing around, there you can see clearly it's flying sideways. And that would be one of the first crosswind landings done on the A380, no wonder it was a little choppy.

[KustomCompBuilder]

i dont think theres wind..the heli is preety steady

[maz9300]

erm..in the description it says busiest airport in europe. i thought it was the bisiest in the world?
