Airbus A380 crosswind start & landing

[mimdotcc]

Strangely, this sounds like a mixture of Swedish and Japanese.

[jaa93997]

damn that is a big aircraft

If you have evidence that any state's money is going to Boeing give it to the Feds. That is illegal. And tj

[zarniwoop42]

Helsinki5898... Neither builder whould go out of business. Neither government would allow that to happen. Both are such a huge part of their military they would be bailed out. Actually Airbus is subsidized by the various governments already. That's a part of the stink over the next air tanker. It's unfair to Boeing to go alone against them.

[blablubb12345]

@zarniwoop42

Boeing "going alone against them" LOL, like the 5-6 billion dollars paid for the 787 development by Italy, Japan and various US states? Accusing Airbus to be subsidized is just one side of the medal. Obviously, the other side is not that popular in the US. Don't just believe what Boeing PR tells you.

Miss901 What for language using you are??

Couldn't help doing that.

WOW!! What a job. The pilot must of had a lot of fun sliding it right in there like that.

[kill10003]

omg the scale of a airbus A380 is epic massive.

[miss901]

what for languange is this?

[a6km]

that blue plane looks like a toy compare to the size of that airbus

[crktp7]

wow look at 0:24 it looks like older brother and younger brother lol that a380 is huge!!!

[TheDylanAwesome]

at 0:08, dosent it look ike its flyin sideways?

[royalarctic]

beautiful machine

[FlightSimGuy9782]

Sideslip technique

[jolazzzang]

fallegur

[Gigi086]

the landing looks so smooth.

[jewelshare]

The pilot in this A380 used the "De-Crab" method, maybe he/she should have tried the "sideslip" method so that it will be a 2-in1 test: Crosswind Take-off/Landing and a Wing strike. They even have the tail strike, so why not wing strike? So that when and A380 experience a wing strike, we will know if the A380 will pass on a wing strike or not. Just for the comfort of the public of course.

In this video the A380 is so quiet! I only hear the rustle of the winds blowing the camera!

[Caboclo999]

The Fly-by-Wire system of the A380 does hardly allow the sideslip method. FCOM recommends not to use the rudder pedals during crosswind approach until the very last moment. - All other Airbus type surely allow sideslip, since their rudder is NOT controlled by FBW.

The A380 has a new FBW ground mode for roll control: Stick neutral = wings leveled.

After all, the A380 seems to be much more capeable of handling crosswinds than any other big jet, though the procedures look far less spectecular.

[jewelshare]

How true^^

[superherongpogi]

Where did you get that, from Wikipedia?

[faggio0622]

what are the differences between the two methods?

[PurpleKusher]

human wonder

[tobiv3i]

fuck....is das ding riesig =O

[DMSNT]

In the event of a deathstick landing you're better of in a Boeing:

"Pearson needed to lose altitude fast. The only way was to sideslip the giant aircraft on the final approach so it would touch down close enough to the beginning of the runway that it wouldn't run out of tarmac. This manoeuvre was unprecedented.Fortunately, it worked, and flight 143 touched down safely."

[DMSNT]

But Pearson is relieved that he wasn't flying

an Airbus. "You can't sideslip an Airbus aircraft, the computers won't let you," he says. "Boeing aircraft are capable because they're a hydraulic controlled aircraft and you can cross control."

[rva1945]

I guess all aircraft have cross-controls (rudder opposite to ailerons) capabilities, otherwise they can't land in strong crosswinds.

[bonjour82]

I think that might be true with commercial aircraft. However, I do not have the background or knowledge of commercial aircraft. I worked on F-16 aircraft and other light aircraft for about 7 years. Neither of the aircraft I maintained had a rudder-aileron interconnect. The fly-by-wire system would compute algorithm based on a number of in-flight inputs to the flight control computer and the landing configuration. It relieves a lot of the multitasking associated with a crosswind landing.

[ChrizRockster]

Airbus computers are very "thoughtful" including doubling elevator deflection when both pilots pull on the stick and only half-deflection when a single pilot pulls on the stick.

[helsinki5898]

Both Boeing and Airbus do very well in different aspects of the industry. Otherwise, one or the other would be out of business and in financial ruin. Think about it.

The whole "Europeans are better than Americans" or vice versa is merely pride and stupidity.

[joerisoldier]

@helsinki5898 dude, they are in a airplane war, airbus makes a plane, boeing makes a plane, boeing makes a plane, airbus makes a plane.

[neerajguy2001]

I am wondering why hasn't anyone coined the term "Flying coffins" for boeing 737s. There have been so many accidents involving 737s. The dual servo valve failure and engine flame out in storms are well known to the world. Frankly speaking if I have to travel in 737 I'll think twice.

[lonesouluk]

"There have been 130 737 hull-losses, including 4 hijackings/bombings and 7 ground accidents. This may sound high but remember that over 5000 737's have been built since 1967. This gives a 2.5% accident rate or approx 3 per year or one every 2.5 million flight hours. Furthermore, over 40% of occupants survive fatal 737 accidents. "

think before you wonder or even do some research/google

[ChaoticGenius1982]

it´s no secret that european engineers much better than the american ones. not only in building planes. take also a look at automobiles and compare companies like chrysler, GM with Mercedes, BMW and so on

[bento9804]

the an-225 isn't a commercial airliner is it, its obvious your biased for boeing, but give respect where it is due

[mistahmiles]

actually i'm not biased to boeing. it's just too hard to formulate an argument for airbus being better than boeing.

[DM3Driver]

About European constuction: as of last tally I heard the Boeing was in the lead as far as orders are concerned. Also, how many delays must your precious baby go through in order to even be thought of as competition against the 787?? LOL.

[mistahmiles]

Excellent point. Allow us to berate Prantlglauer.

[Prandtlglauer]

Look between 00:48 and 00:54 and see how the left wing is flexing YEAH DUDE!!!!! When us European engineers start designing a plane like this, no Boeing can beat us. Could you calculate the charges on the landing gear and the wings? Start, think of it and later you´ll tell me...

[mistahmiles]

How is a flexible wing good? All airplanes of every size have flexible wings, you moron. I have nothing in particular against Airbuses, but I think that a flexible wing and the ability to make a decent crosswind landing is no sign of truly professional construction.

[Prandtlglauer]

What i try to make people see is the great ammount&size of the loads suffered by wings and landing gear. The greater the plane is, the harder the charges in those parts of the body&wheel structures, and of course u will need more time and more engineers working on it. That is obvious.

Of course a crosswind landing is not representative, and the plane could be a waste as long as it has pilots with enough skills...

Next time u want 2 insult someone please save it for yourself. Thanks!!!

[mistahmiles]

A few points on airbus:

1. They're going into bankruptcy

2. The A380 is suffering major production delays

3. Airbus in general has way fewer customers than Boeing

It's obvious that Boeing is better and more reliable. Pwned!

[neelradhakrishnan]

And Boeing make cool stuff: ABL; Apache; F-15, etc.

[bento9804]

dam, the a380 made that 737 look like a fucking toy

[mistahmiles]

take a look at the anotov an-225. makes the a380 look like a "fucking toy."

[Tommyr]

Those pilots have HUGE testicals!

[haggis]

wow! no side slipping these planes in eh? amazing

[cdcruce]

incredible flying
