Airbus A380 Production Problems, Part 1

[How5by5]

Don't fly an Airbus with miles on it will take your life...Not tested like Boeing Jets.

@How5by5 jealous yank

@How5by5 Relatives of passengers who when two B737´s crashed because of design error before it was found, and relatives of passengers who were blown out from plane after small electrical failure opened Boeing 747´s cargo door wouldnt agree with you. I can see three fatal accidents that have been caused by Boeing design errors, and 0 Airbus fault accidents. Also pretty much every year more people have died in Boeing planes.

a380 sucks

Thanks for sharing this very interesting Vids.

But the Wiring wasn't poorly designed, the problem was the use of CATIA 4.5 and CATIA 5 to design it. Also the fact no other plane has so many wires didn't help either.

Catia is the standard. And the fact that they dont tie any of the wires down in any of their planes makes for a very loud ride. Poorly built airplanes = airbus

What a load of crap. This problem did ONLY affect the A380 which now is setting records in dispatch reliability and efficiency. Don't make me start talking about the shortage of fasteners in the 787 or the joke rollout of a empty plastic can.(787) They had to buy temporary fasteners in a local store!!

and redesign the Wingbox something unpardonable for such a company. So don't come ignorant saying what is poorly built or not.

[Spywell]

A composite airplane will set way more records than any airplane ever built. Why would you buy into an excessively large airplane that won't even land on half of the runways in the united states. How much more money will taxpayers have to pay for some dumbasses mistake. Where does all the money go? not back into the taxpayers pockets. The only records airbuss will brake is the recall/problem records.

[techdefined]

The A380 has as much composite per mass as the 787. Its clear you have no clue how aviation works. Ask your dumb question Tim Clark CEO of Emirates which has bought 58 A380. As a reminder Airbus has a better safety record then Boeing so be careful what crap you write or your credibility will gone. Besides the A380 can land everywhere a 747 can and needs even less runway so again you are plain wrong.

Well some of the money from tax payers end up going to dieing airlines anyways. For example United Airlines. So why not invest in something that will end up making a profit?

[sleeevy]

But I congratulate SIA and Airbus on this amazing achievement!

Ugh! Why does everyone think that the Economy Class is your average Y class just from seeing it! People who have traveled in it have said its great because of an LCD in Y and a new kind of mechanism which makes knee room plentiful when the seat in front is reclined. It also has many other touches and service improvements which makes this one of if not the best economy class product.
