[mellotrongirl]

Indeed, the livery looks first-gen. I bet there was a good crowd of planespotters, media, airline personnel, etc.

[Quy4life]

when will Beoing make a superjumbo 747 the size of a380?

[Tommiclio]

@Quy4life It won't now. Took 20 years for Airbus to conceive the A380.....Boeing already have market power with the 747, no need to spend billions more just for a few extra seats, not economical.

[CheaterNLaw]

@Quy4life never

[m7floyd]

very ugly plane. Boeing should have designed it.

[rhs2000vtec]

then it wouldnt be the same design... it is rather fat...

[350zvince]

the paint job makes it kinda old

[Gold3010]

Fantastic landing!! Fantastic plane!!!

[nomorenoless1]

i mean flaps.. :P

[nomorenoless1]

wow

a very nice landing and very huge flexes

[fernousdu972]

wow smooth landing ! very nice video !

[luv4knowledge]

damn the wings are actually flapping a bit....ah the limitations of physics!!

[jlebesis]

How's that a limitation? They are supposed to flex!!!

[japankorea99]

boeing 747 is special for its long range ability

airbus 380 is special for it capacity

both are good planes

[garlex134]

you are corrrrrect!

[FS2004looney]

yeah but the a380 is ultra long range and has huge capacity!

[Tommiclio]

@japankorea99 Both have the same range i think you will find, with in a few miles any way, the "dream liner" will have a good range, as does the 777.

[CheaterNLaw]

@japankorea99 a380 has both greater range and greater capacity. a380 can fly 15,000 kilometers without refueling(vs 13,000 for 747)

[aznturtle1]

alot of a380 vids i see only engine 2 and 3 use reverse thrust y not all?

[emptyangel]

Because the A380 has only 2 engines that are fitted with reverse thrusters.

[emptyangel]

Youtube is being crazy with comment replies.

[siaInternational]

perfect landing and video angle view! Thanks!

[julytien]

what the the hell is the atc talking about

[ap1190]

The controller is telling the helicopters that are filming this where to go.

[blueskyhelicopters]

That is indeed correct! That's my voice you can hear in Zulu Mike Foxtrot (Blue Sky Helicopters). I was flying the photographer that was working for Singapore Airlines. The other "in company" helicopter with me had our other client, The Sydney Morning Herald" - And lastly VH-SEV was shooting the video!

[AntwonlineFilms]

lol, who said this was SIM HAHAHA !!...its very big huh?? nice vid,

[flysingapore130]

that's not a simulator you mofo!!!! are you blind look at it!!!

[Ch3sh1re]

Its not the real thing... this one is a simulator...urgghh!

[kalim11]

LOL

[argunuysal]

great..................

[tsubasapt]

I really don't care what you anti-airbus americans say but this plane is simply BEAUTIFUL... A380 as King and B747 as Queen of skies

[BoomerNavy70]

We are not anti Airbus we just know that Boeing builds a better aircraft.

[chenoir]

How could you know it? Test shows that A380 is a top quality aircraft. And it's the quietest airlines jet aircraft ever made, and THAT's a great thing for people living near an airport. It's also more fuel-efficient than a 747, allows better interior amenagement.

[jimdep333]

Only time will tell. The 747 has 40+ years of great history. One flight does not make a great plane!!!!!!

[barneyffc]

The start of Airbus reputation was built on the success it had with the A300 in getting a US airline to make big orders, and from there its continued to grow, and has a healthy rivalry with Boeing. I don't think it's about who makes better planes. Boeing and Airbus have different Markets. Planes like the 747 A380 737 A320 787 A350. 777 A340. Everyone of these planes are great. They serve different purposes, and customers, and is good competition.

[jimdep333]

It hasn't proven anything yet. How can you name it the King after a handful of flights?

[emptyangel]

Because it's the largest passenger airliner in the world?

[emptyangel]

I didn't say anything about the 747 not being a great plane. Just stating the facts.

Way to spam and be an ass.

[polak4lyf]

no reverse thrust?

[airmoune]

Yes, look at engine #2...

[DudrickStudios]

its just no applied on evey engine

[chenoir]

Yeah, only to 2 of the 4 engines. It's sufficient enough to slow this aircraft to the taxiing speed

[sohailyaqub]

smooth... i wish they'd built more of them as soon as possible....

[kevr83]

Perfect landing.

[jamesbondy07]

Absolutely awesome. Why can't Airbus produce them more quickly.

[Nils163]

Great Aircraft! Nice landing!

[kasztan110]

This machine is so huge !!! Wings are much wider than runway.
