@cgordon6969 i couldn't agree more !!! i took the A380 6 times so far and i'm gonna take it again in 18 days ! i love that plane ! it's an amazing feeling to be in such a giantic airplane ! and this time i'm gonna enjoy a 27hours flight (a straight one with no stops) sadly i wont be able to fly in first class as im no rich and i might get a sore ass but still.. i love A380!!!
I hear that plane is still in Singapore sitting outside with all engine removed, still not yet started repairing, awaiting to be ferried to manufacture in France, should be in service by the end of 2011. :)
I don't think the families of the dead would care much whose "issue" it was if one of these babies goes down because of a "design" issue. You would think that "design issues" would have already been resolved before they put 500 people's lives at risk. Anyone who flies on this monstrosity must have a death wish. Murphy's Law always wins.
@Handiman544 Well pure design failures have brought down two 737´s with 100% fatality rate (almost got third one before Boeing found the problem), some people got sucked out from a 747 after cargo door design error caused it to open and made big hole to fuselage, and also ofc Turkish Airlines DC-10 with 100% fatality rate, and also it was known problem but those idiots in Douglas just wanted to save money and not fix it.
This just to all Boeing fanboys saying how many accidents Airbus has had
it would be interesting to know if this engine problem was caused by a problem in the engine design or the aerodynamical properties of the airplane. an aircraft of this size must present new problems
I live in Batam island, and witnessed this incident at the very sky above my head in that quite morning, yes it was so close to me, and I managed to took some photos, which later on published by some major media. It was a relieve to hear the plane landed safely at Singapore... when I heard the loud bang the plane had thick smoke from its left engine and then started dumping fuel I believe, I wasn't sure the plane will made it or not.
@Pvjinflight Absolutely not false and I did the math myself.
Go find the number of accidents caused by mechanical failures for all Boeing passenger jets since the 707, and the millions of miles flown. Do the same for airbus.
The numbers don't lie. Or, ask any pilot what they'd rather be flying.
@tmoney1876 Well at least from Boeing and Airbus Boeing 707 has worst crash rate per flight hours. And statistic show that there is no big difference beetween Airbus and Boeing model crash rates, some Boeings have higher crash rate than their counterparts and vice versa.
If Airbus has 2x more accidents caused by mechanical failures I would think that their crash rate would be also much worse, but it isnt.
@Pvjinflight There aren't nearly as many airbus planes. Significantly fewer planes means fewer miles flown. If there were as many airbus planes being flown as boeing, the number of crashes would be significantly higher.
Do you not understand the concept of fatal mechanical failures per million miles flown?
Once again, way fewer miles flown by airbus means they have fewer crashes even though their rate is higher.
@tmoney1876 I was talking about per flight hours. Yes more Boeings flying, but also more flighthours where crash rate comes, so your argument doesnt work. And anyway mechanical failure is not number one cause of accidents, its pilot error. And Airbus planes have fly by wire that prevents accidents happening from simple pilot errors like disorientation or pilot just simply stalling/overbanking the plane, pilot error in Boeing can cause plane to crash when in Airbus automated system saves the day.
First off, every pilot that I have talked to with experience prefers Boeing planes over Airbus.
Second, miles flown vs flight hours is not a significant difference. There are way more Boeing jets, so there are way more flight hours (just like there are more miles flown). Numerically, there are more crashes in Boeing jets, but when you control for the number of flight hours (or miles flown), Airbus's rate of mechanical failure (the part that is cause by faulty DESIGNS) is 50% higher
@tmoney1876 You have probably talked only with Boeing pilots.
Your statistic are false and pure american nationalist rubbish. Airbus crash rate to miles flown or whatever is pretty much same that Boeing has, no worse.
@Pvjinflight I couldn't agree more with that comment. It's very true, human error vs. mechanical error is very different and should be taken into account for losses.
@tmoney1876 And overall Airbus crash rate is not higher than Boeing crash rate, if they have 2x worse rate of fatal accidents caused by mechanical failures how they can still have about same crash rate that Boeing has, other than their fly by wire safety system?
Miles/hours flown dont matter when we are talking about crash rate per flight hours/flights. Boeing has more crashes, but they have more flight hours/flights too which compensates it, and vice versa.
As stated in the FARs a failure of a single powerplant shall not effect other systems. The RR engine failure should have been a nonevent, But this design has no seperation of systems. Even the fuel transfer system was knocked out- No ballast no control after c/g limits are lost. cgordon its more than an engine problem.
The engine cover fell off.... you gotta be kidding me!? Way to down play it! the engine exploded and was lucky not to cause far more serious damage to the plane...
that was a problem,after a few years on the line.not months,You coundn't tell if the door was latched, DC 10s had some problems too.added floor vents to keep the floor from collapsing during loss of cargo area pressure
i mean boeing has had its share of problems .. and so will airbus.. lets just face it .. thats what happens when you send a metal can full of pressure thousands of feet in the air with wings. and an engine .. somethings bound to fail.
@hillberg100 Well some people flew out from a 747 in its early years after cargo door opened during flight because of design problem and broke skin of the aircraft, in my opinion thats much worse than problem in engines that are made by Rolls Royce.
This AIRBUS 380 does NOT meet the critreia & standards set in U.S. Federal Air Regulations! And you can thank the receprical agreements, ICAO. And If you think I'm Wrong pick up a copy of the F.A.R.s and read before getting on this beast.
i reckon its a Qantas problem, not a RR problem. even though it is a problem with the engines, its not entirely their fault. the A380's have been in use for how long with them? and its now the engines quitting out. after all, the same problem happened on a 747 a couple days after. i think it's a engineering problem within Qantas themselves, and are following the wrong lead to get new engines. has Singapore Airlines had this problem? i dont think so.
@MajorWales Having read the report on what exactly happened to the engine and the cause, I can say that it definitely wasn't an maintenance problem with Qantas engineers.
A380s have only been in service with Qantas for only a couple years. if that. They're still very new aircraft.
The Stuxnet Worm virus is apparently designed to attack nuclear power plants (specifically in Iran). These huge passenger planes run on computers. Is it possible that jet planes can get viruses too (now or in the future)? Why has the engine problem become an epidemic all of a sudden at Quantas (three planes in one month have been grounded due to engine problems)?
It's strange how Qantas takes their A380 off line. What about all the other A380's in the world. Are we just waiting for a crash? I'm not getting in one to find out. Give me a brand new 747. What..... They don't make them any more, but they have such a good record. OK I'll try an old 747 they are....how old?
Why is it everytime i see posts like these its the Americans who make out they are the best? Bottom line Boeing's are a good plane as well as Airbus. No plane has ever been without its flaw. You can not say that RR is the worse engine manufacture and that EA is better again both have there flaws Bear in mind it was Rolls Royce engines that powered Concorde and that has an perfect safety record (almost). All modern aircraft's are pushed to the limits of technology, it takes issue to rectify flaws
@fitz207 plus you stuff up everything you touch and are ruining the world for everyone else... the US is affecting everyone dude.... sorry, but open your eyes
Wrong. Blaming the US for your country's problems is nonsense. But you never answered the question. "Why do you care what we think of our country? How does that affect you in AUSTRALIA?" Stop worrying about the rest of the world and tell me how the US is "ruining" AUSTRALIA?
@virgineguadalupe not the best, just have a lot more money than other countries, due to the invention of the car and the supposed "first motorized aircraft"
@TheStigP11GT and Americans, who believe their aircraft are the best, they are average, same as all other aircraft companies, even though the majority are in America. i saw a program about RR engines, the Boeing CEO said that they wouldn't be here if RR hadn't been invented. YOU NEED US BRITS TO HELP!!! not many aircraft have been made by us, but when they are, they are very good quality! the Concorde for instance, 14 made, 13 retired. after over 20 years of service ONE crashed unlike the 747.
You know these engine problems could be caused by the simpliest o ring which let's oil through or something like that. That can lead to dramatic events. It is also very simple to repair.
Its not like this is a regular occurance! Its one time in the decades Rolls Royce have been making engines!
Every one forgets that it was the Rotary in the spitfire which won the second world war!
Every one saying "ohh I'm never flying in a Rolls Royce engine aircraft again" Yeah ok then dip shit...you're about to board your plane for holiday....and you ask the flight attendant "what engines does this aircraft run"...I dont fucking think so!
forban was that why it was called mig alley wikipedia sabre could not out turn a mig but they could outdive the mig was far superior in ceiling acceleration and climb imagine if they had half decent pilots
A pencil sharpener or a computer may very well be nade out of outsourced components but those devices when in use do not have 300 or more passengers lives at stake so reliability is not nearly as important. If the maker of this computer built aircraft I would take the train. Toyota is another example of a foreign company that fails when trying to simulate American technology. Ever heard of a Cadillac with a runaway gas pedal? GM introduced computer controlled gas pedal in 92, Corvette in 97
over 150 ,ooo toyotas called back some of which people have died in are people going to stop buying them think not people love slagging europe off as the last person said if we are hated so much stop eating the produce , drinking the produce ,driveing our cars and stop comeing here for your fucking holidays
that boeing love is irrational its like the M-16, disneyland, or big mac everybody in the wolrd knows they are bad quality, american people still love it and try force others to love it too well good luck with that.
just because something is not us made doesent mean its worse its the opposite usually european and japanese products are superior to us made, and if you think different, dont use glock, berettas or benellis and so on weapons, dont eat belgian and swiss chocolate, dont drink french wine or champagne not even french toast, and the list could go on all day long.
@Pocok4 dude what is wrong with you? have you completely lost it? I am on your side. theonecom is not, it (rather than he/she) hates the English. read the comments before you write any-more.
This Aircraft is one big ticking bomb !!! It will go into reckord books for all the wrong reasons. A lot of families will lose their loved ones on this Aircraft,
When Airbus went to put this P.O.S. together with components made in separate countries it was kind of like that song by Johnny Cash. One Piece At A Time. For example the wiring harness didn't fit and it had to be pieced together to make it longer That's what I mean when I say it's a grade B machine. Check facts. This was reported in The Chicago Tribune. My trailers are king because I, like Boeing, am a descendant of Viking ship builders. Show me a trailer nicer than mine anywhere any $.
lots of products in the world, from a pencil sharpener to a space shuttle, are assembled from components built by manufacturers that span domestically and internationally, including the computer you used to type this thoughtless comment.
With your logic, the Boeing 787 also has to be a POS. Wings made by Mitsubishi and Kawasaki (Japan), Fuselage made by Alenia (Italy), engines made by RollsRoyce (Britain). Boeing just assembles the plane.
jacob 1363 you gotta be either afrench canadian that doesnt know if your a french or canadian or an american or your an angry muslim trying to be a candian by settleing there because youve been booted out of everyother country in the world hmm or your just a prick
and the person that said rolls royce were always crap engines, was that why the russians had one in the mig in korea i think that done alright against the sabre
it was more like 10:7 and not because the engines but because de sabres had electronic target acquiring the migs had onlly WWII targeting so the sabres only won because of electronic wichs is true americans are forerunners but not to foget who to thank this like Alan Turing(english), and Neumann János(hungarian) just to name a few.
Rolls Royce engines are crap.. Also the Boeing Dreamliners RR engine burned out.
The airlines should chose Engine Alliance between GE and Pratt Whitney which are far superior to RR..A close friend of mine is working at AIRBUS in France he told me 2 years ago that RR TRENT 900 was a crap..and therefor AIR FRANCE has opted for the American engine.
@Pocok4 the GE -90 is RR's wet dream..118.000 pounds trust..GE is the number one RR the second, in military engines GE number one,Pratt number two Rolls is not even the third !
2. European jetfighters like the Rafale, or the Eurofighter or de JAS39 doesent need that much thrust like de F-22 Craptor because they are much lighter and more agile, and consume less fuel.
AIRBUS=Aircraft Industry Recycling Boeing's Unwanted Scrap. Everyone's picking on Rolls Royce. Every manufacturer needs a way to get rid of its grade B merchandise. That's what a client like Airbus is for. The motors are good enough for who they are for. I'm good with it as long as the top grade motors are set aside for the Boeings. John Travolta once said "If it;s not Boeing I'm not going." I'm with him.
@trailerkingpin What are you on about? Airbus and Rolls Royce produce top grade equipment, 9/10 times on the news when an aircraft has had a problem it's a Boeing. So unless i've mistaken what your saying, neither companies produce 'Grade B' machines. Go sort your facts out before geting an American attitude towards the situation.
Obviously it's early to draw conclusions and you have crashes and accidents with all aircrafts but these damned airbus planes are infamous with instruments malfunctioning, parts falling of, pilots struggling with computers that by the way have the final say over pilots.
I just feel airbus planes just dont come across as safe.
omg and shes put what would happen over the pacific erm the same as any other plane your in shit ,what do you think if it would have been a boeing a giant hand would have caried it to safety
666 sigmah you talk bollocks look up the amount of engine failiures that rr have had then look up the amount makers like pratt and shitney have had ibet i know whos had more,rolls royce have allways made better engines oh and like yours all our toasters come from china same as your stuff xbox made in china iphone made in china your mums dildo made in china
WOW! I just flew from LA to New Zealand on one of these Qantas airbuses. What would've happened to my flight in the middle of the Pacific Ocean thousands of miles away from land? And my boyfriend convinced me Qantas was the safest airline never having a crash. These airbuses are too small in my opinion to be making such long distances flights. So scary.
@virgineguadalupe Well they may have bigger/more engine capacity but the seating space is much smaller than on a 737. It makes for a very uncomfortable long haul esp when you have a 300 lb man sitting next to you half in your space. My United flights to the west coast have been much more spacious and comfortable. I guess all that matters is that you get there safely.
As of May 2010, a total of 303 incidents involving 737s had occurred, including 148 hull-loss accidents resulting in a total of 4,097 fatalities. The 737 has also been in 106 hijackings involving 324 fatalities.
Is that safe in your opinion? and thats only the 737!
@Pocok4 Why don't you speak about the A320 next? And then consider how many times each of those 737's have flown before they crashed. And then compute the crash rate per frame. And then, maybe not get in your car because you have a greater chance of getting in a car crash and dieing than being involved in an emergency situation onboard an aircraft. Bullshit.
@Pocok4 No. Compare the 737NG and 737 Classic to the -NG.
You can't compare two aircraft built two decades after each other. Of course 20-year older airframes will crash more. They're more stressed and most of the carriers operating them are low-cost cut-corner type airlines; they crash more.
A death trap? Fine, I'll give you that. But if you're going to be concerned about safety, don't go in your car because by your arguments getting into a car would equate certain death.
what exactly caused this?

The Stuxnet Worm virus is apparently designed to attack nuclear power plants (specifically in Iran). These huge passenger planes run on computers. Is it possible that jet planes can get viruses too (now or in the future)? Why has the engine problem become an epidemic all of a sudden at Quantas (three planes in one month have been grounded due to engine problems)?

It's strange how Qantas takes their A380 off line. What about all the other A380's in the world. Are we just waiting for a crash? I'm not getting in one to find out. Give me a brand new 747. What..... They don't make them any more, but they have such a good record. OK I'll try an old 747 they are....how old?
Oh my god.

Why is it everytime i see posts like these its the Americans who make out they are the best? Bottom line Boeing's are a good plane as well as Airbus. No plane has ever been without its flaw. You can not say that RR is the worse engine manufacture and that EA is better again both have there flaws Bear in mind it was Rolls Royce engines that powered Concorde and that has an perfect safety record (almost). All modern aircraft's are pushed to the limits of technology, it takes issue to rectify flaws

@TheStigP11GT and Americans, who believe their aircraft are the best, they are average, same as all other aircraft companies, even though the majority are in America. i saw a program about RR engines, the Boeing CEO said that they wouldn't be here if RR hadn't been invented. YOU NEED US BRITS TO HELP!!! not many aircraft have been made by us, but when they are, they are very good quality! the Concorde for instance, 14 made, 13 retired. after over 20 years of service ONE crashed unlike the 747.

A pencil sharpener or a computer may very well be nade out of outsourced components but those devices when in use do not have 300 or more passengers lives at stake so reliability is not nearly as important. If the maker of this computer built aircraft I would take the train. Toyota is another example of a foreign company that fails when trying to simulate American technology. Ever heard of a Cadillac with a runaway gas pedal? GM introduced computer controlled gas pedal in 92, Corvette in 97

When Airbus went to put this P.O.S. together with components made in separate countries it was kind of like that song by Johnny Cash. One Piece At A Time. For example the wiring harness didn't fit and it had to be pieced together to make it longer That's what I mean when I say it's a grade B machine. Check facts. This was reported in The Chicago Tribune. My trailers are king because I, like Boeing, am a descendant of Viking ship builders. Show me a trailer nicer than mine anywhere any $.

Rolls Royce engines are crap.. Also the Boeing Dreamliners RR engine burned out.
The airlines should chose Engine Alliance between GE and Pratt Whitney which are far superior to RR..A close friend of mine is working at AIRBUS in France he told me 2 years ago that RR TRENT 900 was a crap..and therefor AIR FRANCE has opted for the American engine.

1. we dont talked about military engines
2. European jetfighters like the Rafale, or the Eurofighter or de JAS39 doesent need that much thrust like de F-22 Craptor because they are much lighter and more agile, and consume less fuel.

AIRBUS=Aircraft Industry Recycling Boeing's Unwanted Scrap. Everyone's picking on Rolls Royce. Every manufacturer needs a way to get rid of its grade B merchandise. That's what a client like Airbus is for. The motors are good enough for who they are for. I'm good with it as long as the top grade motors are set aside for the Boeings. John Travolta once said "If it;s not Boeing I'm not going." I'm with him.

@trailerkingpin What are you on about? Airbus and Rolls Royce produce top grade equipment, 9/10 times on the news when an aircraft has had a problem it's a Boeing. So unless i've mistaken what your saying, neither companies produce 'Grade B' machines. Go sort your facts out before geting an American attitude towards the situation.

virgineguadalupe 1 year ago
@virgineguadalupe Well they may have bigger/more engine capacity but the seating space is much smaller than on a 737. It makes for a very uncomfortable long haul esp when you have a 300 lb man sitting next to you half in your space. My United flights to the west coast have been much more spacious and comfortable. I guess all that matters is that you get there safely.

As of May 2010, a total of 303 incidents involving 737s had occurred, including 148 hull-loss accidents resulting in a total of 4,097 fatalities. The 737 has also been in 106 hijackings involving 324 fatalities.
Is that safe in your opinion? and thats only the 737!
Pocok4 1 year ago
@Pocok4 Why don't you speak about the A320 next? And then consider how many times each of those 737's have flown before they crashed. And then compute the crash rate per frame. And then, maybe not get in your car because you have a greater chance of getting in a car crash and dieing than being involved in an emergency situation onboard an aircraft. Bullshit.
scaremenga 1 year ago
@scaremenga
For the entire A320 family there have been 17 Hull-loss Accidents with a total of 795 fatalities as of July 2010
its a little bit safe than the 737, Do the math!
A320 first flight was 1987, 737 was 1967 so 737 is maybe twice as old and had almost 9 times more hull loss accident.
sorry but its still a death trap compared to any other aircraft in the world.
Pocok4 1 year ago
@Pocok4 No. Compare the 737NG and 737 Classic to the -NG.
You can't compare two aircraft built two decades after each other. Of course 20-year older airframes will crash more. They're more stressed and most of the carriers operating them are low-cost cut-corner type airlines; they crash more.
A death trap? Fine, I'll give you that. But if you're going to be concerned about safety, don't go in your car because by your arguments getting into a car would equate certain death.
