@mw3assassinator Yes, it's called a velocity minimum un-stick (VMU) test, which lets them know the lowest speed (at a specified weight) at which the airplane will become airborne. The little thing you see dragging and making sparks is a safety feature to help keep the actual airplane body from making contact with the ground.

@oonchee well actually you can see the wings are built closer to the bottom of thye aircraft if you havnt noticed ive been on A380s and you can actually see wen sitting on the wings and wen the wings flap its just because of the landing and the extra weight of those stupid Rolls-Royce Trent 900s they shouldve used the GE Nx-2b

Its to test the absolute minimum airspeed where the plane will lift off. It's called Vmu (Velocity minimum unstick) They need to know that because the minimum speed the pilot is allowed to lift of needs to be a certain margin above that to make sure the thing actually flies if the pilot pulls back on the stick. They test this on all new aircraft by putting a metal strip under the tail and pulling the tail onto the ground. They then record the speed at which the wheels leave the ground.
