why they dont make airbus a400 4 decks high and a390 2 and a half decks high
-
@jsaiso1 true it wouldn't move an inch
-
@iflagwweflaggersv2 i apologize...you're right and not the popular mechanics guy. he must be just too overwhelmed and excited he forgot to do the math. 80,000 lbs will not even take this thing off the ground.
-
@jsaiso1 are you talking bout me or him??
-
@iflagwweflaggersv2 he is right...the engine was actually rated at 81,500 lbs of trust...
-
they dont use Rr anymore cuz they blew up 1 time on them
-
they dont use RR engine anymore
-
Dude he is wrong about those engines. Its not 80,000lbs combined, its 80,000lbs a piece that makes 320,000lbs of thrust

the airbus a380 is by no means the limit. they could make planes as large as airports could support and factories and transportation capable of handling increased size. I think we will se aircraft in the future with 10 or maybe even 20 engines and perhaps more wings. however i think the answer is making flying like the family car availible for everybody. oneday everybody will have there own planes and we won't need pilots to take us on holiday anymore.

@1982FMJ I have to say I have only seen videos on this but given Airbus are as much a political as a commercial consortium, logistics will always be a nightmare. It makes absolutely no sense business wise but everyone wants a slice of the cake don't they. Positioning Toulouse as the final assembly point seems ridiculous to me but then Joe Public has no sway in these matters.

how can it possibly be a waste of money? it is a marvel of modern engineering and the future of international air travel...... and contrary to popular opinion it is more fuel efficient per passenger than boeing. well done to airbus on a fantastic aircraft

well i should imagine Airbus did their research before pumping $15 billion into the project and they only need to sell 250 to breakeven. To date they have sold 200 with 15 in operation. They also just took orders at Paris Airfshow for 127 aircraft worth $12.9 billion. Travel on the A380 will be cheaper for passengers and cleaner for the environment. They have aced it with this plane and good luck to them. It took guts and i wish them continued success.
