  • that bloke on 30 seconds sounds like rich hall.

  • Great Video. Awesome airplane

  • Was the pilot moving the rudders at 0:44-0:47

  • @Mustafacc0 : yes he was

  • the a380 looks like a big ass bird when its spoilers are up and wings are drooped.

  • I like the A380, but the front of it just looks very weird! Oh well, looks don't really matter for me, as long as the plane performs well :)

  • you cant look at that plane and not go. FUCK that is a big ass sob.

  • i demand to see the a380 as the new aerial batmobile painted in black.

  • @praetorian2150 that would be awesome

  • Now that's what I call a big jet.

  • It wobbled a bit on touchdown - or am I just picking holes now?

  • @Badsellcut

    you're picking holes now. Good pilot = Good landing. Go figure.

  • Qantas had 2 sitting at LAX today. A Southwest A320 was taxiing by.....It is HUUUUGE!!! Soooo Beautiful.

  • Now thats a Monster! :]

  • This is one awesome a/c. Would love to fly on one some day.

  • yeahhh very good

  • I see thos every day because im in the flight path of heathrow, i like the plane but it very slow on final.

  • It looks like a big, white, beautiful swan!

  • That Jet flew over my high school about 2 years ago when i was a sophomore at Downey High School! it was loud as hell! I miss DHS.... i hope to see the A380 again sometime soon!

  • usally the a380 isn´t lound it was as loud as a normal pane when I saw it. Maybe a cheap version for the usa xD i´m just saying.

  • @zipking well, when i saw it flying over my school, i saw everything, the 4 fucken turbines, the large wings. and yeah, it was really loud, maybe because it was right about me...idk

  • I love the wing profile of this aircraft. Absolutely huge and graceful for such a massive aircraft!!!!!

  • i was there! they had to shut down a bunch of taxiways. if they didnt have to do that it would be even better, but who cares. its awesome

  • Vive le B-747 et vive l'A380 "merde" quoi on est pas dans le buisness, on est des amateur d'aviation.

  • Ridicule vyrgo94. Je voudrai bien savoir de quel droit il peut juger l'aviation. Et puis franchement, moi j'ai 13 ans, et je me la ramène pas. Et toi, quel age dois-tu pour nous insulter ?

    Enfin quand même, un minimum de repect les gars ( et les meufs si il y en a )

  • Mais laissez Virgo84 tranquille.Voyons cet abrutis est le fils de bush.Ça se respecte ...non lol

  • Je ne pensais pas les américain si jaloux quand même, c'est bien triste pour eux

  • Halalala beaucoup d'américains ne nous prennent pas au sérieux mais ils me font bien rire ! Ils croyaient que Airbus ne marcherait pas et maintenant l'entreprise est devant Boeing et fabrique un avion qui s'il n'a pas encore le succès du 747 commence déjà à creuser sa tombe ! De plus vous les Américains vous avez étés incapables de faire concorde malgré des moyens bien supérieurs aux nôtres c'est bien la votre avantage (un des seul d'ailleurs)

  • c'est tres bien tout ça, maintenant il faut que cet engin tiennes en l'air et ne fasse pas 800 morts à chaque fois.

  • Et si tu fermais ta gueule vyrgo84 ?

    t'as 10 ans ou quoi, a sortir des insultes bidon qui veulent rien dire la plupart du temps

    Tu sais c'est à cause des merdeux dans ton genre que j'aime pas les states, y'a des trucs bien, mais le problème c'est les gens comme toi j'peux pas les voir ça me file la gerbe

    Sinon pour savoir qui est le plus évolué, en aéronautique je sais pas je m'y connais pas assez, mais en auto franchement z'êtes à chier, vos meilleures bagnoles consomment 20L/100km etc

  • Franchement, nous les européens, on est trop fort en aéronautique et en voitures (ex: A380, concorde, Porche, BMW, AUDI, MERCEDES, Ferrari, etc...). Imbattable!

  • non i don't think so!! you're 15 years late in aeronautics!! and your cars sucks!! apart from a few german ones!!so keep dreaming punks!!!

  • When will fly the 787 Nightmareliner?! Hugh? Boeing started to see the advantage of composite materials and when they started to use this...wtf?! They have problems LOOOL. And about cars, chill out man. In EU we don't use trucks just cars that consume like 6-8liters/100km and are the state of the art: VW, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo. I think we can make this cars to use hamburgers and Coke's, but will become like very huge in weight

    LOOOOL

    Love USA and Uncle Sam. Have to love

  • vous etes nuls les europeens, vous ne savez qu'economiser de l'argent pour ne meme pas le depenser, seulement pour le thesuriser! vous n'investissez pas dans la recherche c'est pour cela que vos "cerveaux partent aux etats-unis! lol!

    trop marrant!!

  • C'est toi le nul, et déjà apprend a écrire francais!!! ah ah!! Et les bonne voitures de luxe, elles sortent des states? ah la bonne blague.

  • petit con! une faute de frappe et c'est une faute d'orthographe!?, lol! allez va bouffer de l'aille et n'oublie pas de ne pas te laver les couilles cet hiver!! haha français de merde! allez va sauter la pute qui t'a chié sur terre !branleur!! tu ne sais meme pas ce que signifie "thésauriser" haha!! pathetique...!! LMFAO!!

  • trop forts??? vous les européens??? HHHHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! oui oui avec 15 ans de retard en aviation.. biensur allez à d'autres!! lol! petit con qui pue l'aille!!

  • si on a 15 ans de retard, ca ne se voit pas!!!!!

    t'as quelquechose demieux a proposer?

  • Vaut mieux 15 ans de retard et avoir une A380 qu'une B787 avec 3 ans de retard qui vole toujours pas loul

  • this thing is impressive, i have seen it in frankfurt some years ago

  • not....

  • Airbus has the bigger one.......

  • BECAUSE....UHMMM I DONT KNOW...

  • seriously. this is a very nice landing. But the plane is just too large. wayy too large.

  • and it' s way much noisier than the jumbo!! it looks like it's gonna crash everytime it lands!!i'm never steppin' into it!!!!

  • the only noisy thing about the plane is the flaps,....it is soo quiet compared to the 747

  • indeed, torquemenistan...boeing planes are much noisier than airbus'...even inside...a fact that's disturbing to boeing.

  • I live under Paris-Roissy final approach, and I tell you, it's the only aircraft landing there I don't hear. I'm not pretty disturbed by aircraft reactor sound (happily), but this one is very silent. Only the reverse thrust are noisy.

  • hahaha some retard at 0:30 said it looks like a terdactyl (however you spell it). that looks nothing like a terdactyl.

    i like the dream liner more

  • hahaha... damn dude i didn't even notice! haha, i like how after he says that.. some guys it just like "yah" haha

  • That is a limo in the sky. I could live in one of those. They have EVERYTHING!

  • I don't know about you people but I've never been on a flight and said to myself you know what this fight needs is about 100 people on it.

  • How much better? Airbus set the bar much higher than any previous aircraft. Even if the 747-8 has better range, fuel consumption, load, etc, it will just be an over-sized 747 that copied the A380's model of success.

  • the 747 will likely be easier to produce in larger numbers.

  • Competition is all it is. We all knew it was a matter of time before Boeing had a fight on its hands, and it looks like Airbus is gonna deliver it. A380 has set the bar high, but in all reality, who cares what plane it is. As long as I get to where I want to go safely.

    I personally much prefer the A380 over the 747. Everyone says that Boeing is gonna be better but you just don't know until it happens. Its another version of the 747. I don't think it'll match the A380. We'll just have to see.

  • what a short landing!!! big fat machine

  • wow amazing !

  • That plane sounds....awesome.

  • I love the shape of the wings

  • Even though the wing design is purely functional, it looks damn sexy.

  • wooo this plane are very big !

  • ok that was LOUD!

  • The reverse thrust yes. Otherwise, ai I live just below the final appraoche/departure on Charles-de-Gaulle Airport, I can assure you this aircraft is the most silent passenger aircraft ever made. It's simple, from my room I can hear all aircraft traffic on LFPG, and this aircraft is passing over my garden, I can see it but I almost don't hear it.

  • i wonder if they give blojobs to first class passengers?

  • very large plane

  • It looks nothing like a terodactyl.

  • True. But it does resemble a pterodactyl.Still, it does seem like a psilly comparison. ;-)

  • I'd love to be in that plane !

  • wow thats a huge plan.....lawd have mercy lol thats huge!!!! jeez id love to watch that land in person

  • massive!!!

  • I was there in March 2007. It Rocks. A beautiful island. Expensive tho.

  • Big is an understatement.

  • I've flown in one from Melbourne to LAX. No big deal. Seemed a bit more quiet than the 747-400. You fly in whatever the airline has to offer.

  • Haha i remember this plane. It came in Guadeloupe (f.w.i) in the french west indies about 1 year and half ago or something like that !!

    I like Boeing though that one was...BIG it was incredible =O !!

    It was pretty cool to see it !!

  • Comment removed

  • I was there that day-- aside from the amount of thrust (?) it takes to get off the ground, I wasn't too impressed by it.

    I thought the 777 was better.

    And I wouldn't fly in it...too many people going over too much water!!

  • You'd bee impressed if it were an American plane.

  • Oh lordy lordy, guys what the hell is all this bitchin going on here from both sides of the Antlantic??? Kids...

    The whole idea and concept about the A380 is to cut down on air traffic and pollution! Why fly 3 aircraft from New york to London when you can fly the same amount of people in 1? It has nothing to do with who is better than who. Wake up and smell the coffee.

  • You can't actually fill it up. Wake up. There are heaps of destinations in the world and there is no chance in hell that 800+ people would go from one specific source to one specific destination....it just doesn't happen. The 747 is all that we need.....the 747-8i is perfect. The GEnx engines are much less pollutant than the Engine Alliance GP7200s....and all the space on the 747 is nicely used, unlike the A380 where 20-30% is completely wasted.

  • So why don't they offer business class for all at economy class fares? There are potentially lots of destinations where you can fill this marvelous bird. I believe you'd love this plane if it were made by Boeing.

  • Your assumptions are so dumb. Airlines can't offer business class seats for the cost of economy class seats....dumbass. Business class means getting better food choices, better services, better seats, etc. etc. and all of those means higher costs to operate. Now if what you're going to say next is that airlines should make all seats business class for the cost of business class, then 90% of people would go with a different airline because:

    1.) Economy is expensive enough

    2.) A380=Epic Fail.

  • Reply to jodellstatic: With all due respect to what you are trying to point out about the A380, at present if you know the flight departures from London heathrow there are three 747 departures everyday to new york JFK and two departures everyday to LAX. Why?

    Where is the A380 failing?

    When the 747 first went into production back in the 60's boeing actually was scared and thought it would be a flop and a waste of time and money also because it was so big. Were they wrong????

  • what the fuck are we lookin at here?

  • did'nt a crash happen the day the a380 came to LAX?

  • Just an emergency landing but nothing happened

  • ok.

  • ok. thanks!

  • play FLEETWOOD MAC little lies 1987

  • usa sucks supporting isreal!

  • To ANYBODY who thinks that America sucks or for that matter, American AIRCRAFT, such as the Boeing 747-400:

    YOU ARE THE DUMBEST PEOPLE EVER.

    If it wasn't for William E. Boeing, this A380 would never EXIST. Get it? Possibly even AIRBUS. Because if it wasn't for him, there would be no such thing as pressurized cabins and air transportation.

    Fin

  • The A380 is a real pain in the American ass.

    But I must admit that I like the 747-8I very much.

  • My personal favorite is the 747-300. Next is the 747-400, then the 747-8i. The A380=Epic Fail. Nobody could fill that hunk of junk up.

  • i cant bielive im american becuase were all fat asses but thank god im not and the a380 isnt as loud as most planes right

  • To the poster here below...u're not well informed.That Airbus is NOT French.Many european countries,in different ways,take part in what Airbus does.France,Italy,Germany,Spai­n,UK...

  • Motors are from Daymler group (UK) and lot of manufacturing work is made in germany and spain. But conception, financial and managment are 95% French. Headquarters are in Toulouse (France).

    Add that French state saved Airbus twice and the market stock is part of the CAC40.

    That's why you will find a lot of people considering it's a french company, while ownership is splited along few europeans company (for some owned in part by French also :p).

    Best Regards

  • Motors? "Daymler?" pfff......where did you hear that? Just in case you didn't know, we are talking about AIRCRAFT. Not cars. BTW, it's Daimler, not whatever you spelled it. The ENGINES are from either Engine Alliance or Rolls-Royce. Get your facts straight.

  • I remember that day. I took a trip out to see it. Really misty out. The usual morning "Marine Layer" reared its head.

  • p'tite merde quand c'est Français c'est beaucoup mie que américain. tous les avions américains finissent en morceaux avant d'atterrir à la ferraille sa se casse tout seul les merdes de boeing, le concorde est principalement français. lui il vol! il a juste sufit à ce qu'une poubelle américaine passe et lui foute sa carrière en l'air.

  • je te rappelle aussi que la France avec ariane est le leader mondial de lancement de satellite avec + de 80% des parts. dernièrement la mission rikaine c'est soldé par un échec. alors vous foutez la merde partout, ce que vous faite n'est que mal et vous allez un de ces jour vous faire atomiser quel reve!!

  • lmao it's crap just because it's french?

  • Damn what a typical AMERICAN crap comment!

  • You're a fucking idiot, DraGonFlaMer  =<

  • Oh yeah...and because some stuff is American and just because of that fact..makes it better than ALL the rest thats out there...sure...go fuck yourself.

    I'm not saying American stuff is all bad and I don't hate Americans or any of that (only some arrogant so called patriotic pricks, we got those over here too). But be fair Airbus is a very good competitor. In fact a lot of major US airlines buy Airbuses nowadays ;) Nuff said.

  • haha i bet you are american =) just a dumbass like nearly all of you

  • can you put sombody in your bag then takeof for free lol

  • What is the approximate annual salary of an airbus captain?

  • For a Co-Pilot ~58000 €

    Captain 140000 - 240000 € depends on your flight experience

  • god damn that thing is huge...

  • Have passenger air fleets purchased the A-380s and are they using them? btw are they really safe to fly in since there so big im guessing the pilot would have a hard time landing and taking off

  • The first commercial flight of the A380 was on October 25th 2007 and is operated by Signapore Airlines, Quantas, and Emirates Airlines

  • This is awesome!

  • flying fatty

  • i wouldnt say its ugly but it costs to much

  • Los Angeles is beautiful i love this city

  • luv this big bird :D

  • it's not the first. i witnessed the A380 land at LAX 6 around the last week of January 2007. that thing is massive, you couldn't miss it. i was reading about it, so i knew what it was when i saw it, they hadn't painted it yet, so it still had the A380 on the tail.

  • this us such an ugly bad looking plane.. viva boeing!! viva american aircraft!!

  • can u make 1?

  • too big an heavy its gonna bottom out one day.

  • Size does matter. And this machine is amazing. Then again, remember the Titanic.

  • What happened with the Titanic is a classic example of what happens when an executive interferes with the Captains decisions.

    (+ design flaws in the ship). Ironic, but if the ship had hit the iceberg head on, it would not have sunk.

  • great footage :)

  • i love him. he's the best plane!!

  • That is one heck of an aircraft!  Thanks.

  • an airport is a station or on planes that are part and come from different city!

  • dose that make sence to anyone?

  • wha?

  • i dont get it

  • WHAT AIRPORT IS THAT

  • Airbus Gay380 stinks, Boeing 747-800 will win!

  • jojo.... maybe in your FSimulator will win.

  • Hello I'm French who loves airplanes!

    I live in a city, Langon, where parts of the A380 for several days waiting to Toulouse where they will be assemblés.J 'I was shocked by some comments!

    They speak Tracks are stuck!

    They are not stuck!

    They are welded, tested, test By Force!

    I spend a little Hello to America that I love immensely!

    If a person questions about Airbus, I would be happy to answer qestions! Thank you

  • what is airbuses hq airport?

  • Airbus plane always fall apart because they are glued together. Beoing has a better stategy with smaller and more effcient planes.

  • Do you even watch the news? The airbus A380 is the most efficient super jumbo ever build (20% more efficient than most versions). And Boeing has had many accidents with it`s planes over the last few years. Not to mention that Airbus is also producing new small highly efficient planes for that segment of the market.

  • Airbus has jumped the shark with this plane. It is too big. Boeing planes are built better and their models make better sense in todays market!

  • Airbus have just reached 200 sales for the A380 and are building a new small efficient version like the dreamliner as well. Over the last few years many boeing 737 have come in the news for crashes and accidents. Airbus planes are definitely better for now. Because of the demand they will start developing a 650 seat (900 seat all economy) Airbus A380-900 version in 2012.

  • f uck all of u guys..india will rule da world

    type in search option.......2 Brothers 1 Wife

  • yeah im sure they will. in case you didn't know that's not possible.

  • so freaking huge

  • my uncle saw it fly right over his house just before it landed, then he ran inside to to watch the rest on tv...he said it was about 15 sec difference between the time he saw it and the time it landed :)

  • european power (spain-france-ingland-germany)

  • even more than that, its being produced in seperate parts by companies all over europe

  • you must watch the documentary of this plane

    they made seperate parts in many countries and than they transport this huge pieces with 3-5 km/h to england!

  • Impressive machine!

  • What an awesome plane !!

  • Who said that an aircraft has to look good to complete it's task, the A380 is still an impressive plane.

  • get off these videos with your pathetic patriotic arguements which have no basis fact. aviation doesn't need your petty squabbling over who country makes the best a/c. infact if you could see past your egotistical cranium then you would realise all manufacturers produce good and bad.

    the A380 is an aviation marvel just like the 747 and concorde. it brings new innovation for future travel, thats all that counts. the sooner that is realised, the sooner ur heads will be free from your arses...

  • here here..good answer! Im European and I think good design and engineering is there to be shared by everyone! ;)

  • very nice!

  • those who can do.

    those that can`t make stuff up

  • What are you talking about?!! Boeing is what started it all!! Airbus came in late in the 70's and has done moderately well in business but Boeing beats Airbus by a long shot! PLUS! Boeing is better with the economy by adding winglets to their airplanes, unlike Airbus that uses wingtip fences that eat up fuel. I know that's your opinion about European manufactures but its a fact that Boeing got in the lead for making planes when the 707 was introduced.

  • Even the American air force would rather buy European planes!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You seriously think that's true? Do you even have any proof? I can't believe you have the guts to make an idiot of yourself. Anyways, nOOb, the USAF fighters are composed only of: * F-15A/B/C/D Eagle * F-15E Strike Eagle * F-16C/D Fighting Falcon * F-22A Raptor

    You're such a loser.

  • The US air force recently had a choice between american and European `planes chose the superior European `planes.

  • the F35 JSF is the next gen for air to air combat as well as air to ground.Vertical Take off,landing on carriers and long range missions.get your facts straight.

  • Only a few of the JSFs will be VTOL, and taking off and landing vertically requires so much fuel that it's combat radius will be halved once it gets in the air... The JSF is a great plane, but has had to make major concessions in many areas. Its major positive features also lead to negative ones: maintaining stealth makes sure that it has to carry its weapons internally, so it has a small weapons load compared to conventional fighters, etc.

  • Its major selling point is stealth, something which is only usefull in the opening stages of current wars, once the enemy anti-air and radars have been taken out you're better off with conventional set-ups that can carry more weapons, while requiring less fuel and less maintenance.

  • long range missions? without external fuel tanks? i know they're developing stealthy fueltanks now, but that's still a while off.. as of this moment the JSF has only its internal tanks to rely on, giving it a limited range without aerial refueling.

  • I said long range missions.I didnt specify wether or not it would or would not include Air Refueling or extra tanks.and to your point about the external tanks..why would you put external fuel tanks on a plane now a days?especially when missles and other weapon's systems are getting more advanced and more capable of destruction.

  • I think what he need's to know is that we(USA) have 4100 military planes i'm not talking about civil, which most of them are new built. let's not talk about the old one's we retired them (F-8, F-4, F-14, and soon F-16) only south west airliner has 600 planes, I think the hole Europe including englend and eastern europe don't have that much plane, so don't wory about what they say :)

  • Funny that! couse when they did test flights and dog fights! the Eurofighter out performs the f22a raptor everytime, the eurofigher is more agile and has more moruverbilty than the raptor and climes faster it kills everytime in mock dog fights! even the austrailian goverment is having second thoughts on bying them, go on google and your find it!

  • PROVE IT !!!

  • I don't recall the U.S. Air Force having an A320..

  • They had to choose between European and an American re-fueling fleet and chose the European ones in a fair process as being better suited for their needs,but American politicians now want the contract to go to the American company simply for political reasons.

    Also the American forces could never perfect the vertical take off system so they bought the British harrier, this is just two examples, why would the US air force but a civilian passenger A 320?

  • I think you mean the A330.

  • concorde, now this, europeans build planes america cannot

  • Was Europe able to build the 747? (the largest commercial aircraft for over 30 years until the A380 came along)

  • Europe builds more commercial and military planes than America, and always has.

  • Naaa.. we were too busy designing Concorde at this time. The only reason it was made big was because you lot were so fat. I mean it was the only way of getting 20 Americans across the pond in one go.
