Does It Have Airbags?

The Airbus A380 may be the biggest passenger plane ever built, but if you put passenger seats in the Antonov An-225 Russia would beat everyone and not europe... GO RUSSIA!!! :D

@korglove Boeing was born in Detroit, Michigan to a wealthy German mining engineer named Wilhelm Böing. Look it was a "German". óóóóóoó

@SimHarrison I replied to you but when I mentions the cracks in the wings you ignore that and how the Australian Board of Flight Engineers want to ground the A380 to make sure its safe. I mention the Comet Disaster caused by cracks in the Aluminum skin and you ignore that. I point the exploding RR Trent engines that have not been repaired and you reply to that. You claim to be an idiot and now uninterested but you do not ignore the micro-fractures on an the A380 wing cuz its sure way to people!

@LottoWinner999 judging by your attitude, your complete overlooking of my argument and the amount of true facts in your comments i can already see that it's pointless trying to argue with you. no matter what anyone tries you would still yell non-facts in everybody's faces. i can see why everybody hates you. it's like talking to a wall, i'm an idiot for dragging this on with you as long as i have. don't bother trying to argue with me in the future, i'm not interested.

@SimHarrison BTW its the Australian Flight Engineers that are demanding the A380 nbe grounded for extensive testing so the plane can be proven safe to fly. Also Quantas is pissed because the A380 is a lemon and has them losses and headaches and I'll bet they wish they ordered the Boeing 747-8I! The A380 is White Elephant with 18 billions Euros in debt + in 10 years only 68 are in service + they have to build 500 to break even. Airbus can only build 2 per-month this plane will be cancelled!

@SimHarrison This is a new plane that is underpowered with exploding RR Trent Engines + is still having problems. I've heard some cracks are two inches, but its the little micro-fractures that are dangerous. This is a crock of shit + A380 is suppose to be State of the Art. On youtube Google De Havilland Comet disastera + see how Micro-Fractures caused 3 BOAC Comet mid-air de-compressive explosions. Airbus is in financial trouble + cutting corners + A330 has fractures with unexplained crashes.
