@eaterofclams The 380 is not an airplane every company can afford, or every company can use efficiently, unlike the 320, or more or less the 350. With the current situation in aviation industrie, not a lot of companies which need the 380, can make an order which can make an actual difference on the orders list. Sooner or later 380's will start replacing the 744's. It takes more time than 4 years for a company to break even, or even more - to make profit out of a 10 billion dollar investment.

@ceco150495 Apparently you know more than the rest of the world about A380's including Airbus. Airbus says they need to sell over 500 to break even, but just so you know companies are not in business to break even. they are supposed to turn a profit. The A380 probably will not turn a profit for Airbus

@concorde232

You are truly not very bright. Aircraft designed to satisfy

the same specifications are going to have similarities.

And even the dog knows that a B747 doesn't have "two decks".

That sad excuse of a "skylounge" [original use by AA, complete with a small piano]

does not qualify in any way as having "two passenger decks".

Take your Boeing fanboi blinders off and observe the real world..if only for a day.

@moondog203

...what part of "flight test" escapes you?

[ceco150495]

@cuzildaozild2 Computers, which are controlled by people. And all take-off's and most of the landings are done manually, just like any other airplane. The computers which control the 380 don't differ in any significant way from the computers on the 320/330/340, and all they do is prevent pilot error, aside from the usual autopilot functions.

@prohelipilot1 Wow, I love how people talk shit, they obviously know RATS about. In order for Airbus to break even on the A380 program is to sell 420 380's, because of all the delays in the program. It was initially 270 before all the delays.

@concorde232 You're obviously a moron.. They're not copying it, they're making planes, which can compete with boeing's machines. The two companies have nothing in common.
