The truth about the Airbus A380: Things you didn't know about world's first 'superjumbo'

提交时间:
 
When it flew to Australia on its world-first commercial flight – 10 years ago this October – the Airbus A380 was billed as "the largest, quietest, greenest, most fuel-efficient per passenger" aircraft that had ever flown. It was capable of taking more passengers than any commercial plane before it (though licensed to take 843, commercial airlines usually settle for between 370 and 500). It could take off with the largest payload (passengers and luggage) of 63 tonnes and fly a longer… (www.msn.com) 更多...

Dirty cabin air causes nightmares? Huh, guess i learned something today. Maybe I should change the cabin filter on my car. Could be why I'm grumpy and irritable every time I drive to work.

This may be blasphemy, but the Airbus 380 never stirred my emotions in any way. It is just an oversized people mover.

waaaay off topic comment.

flightaware used to have a humorous section of photographs.
i can't find it any longer.
what i am looking for is the photograph of the flight deck of the a380, with the text, "still not as complicated as a woman" superimposed on the photo.
links appreciated.

Boeing was right that passenger preference would drive better economics for direct international flights, as well as more frequent international flights, on 777/787 rather than less frequent hub to hub flights on the 380.

I agree. B747 is a sexy airplane, A380 reminds me of a beluga whale.

"I felt more in control of a Boeing. It was more satisfying as a pilot, more hands-on. The A380 is more technologically advanced, far more spacious and quiet than the 747. I'd prefer to fly the 747-400, but I'd prefer to be working on the A380."

I get a dig at my head. What is this??? All known facts with unknown titles. Most of us are familiar with the A380s. But msn assumes we don't know anything.

Never mind that they are routinely reducing production and have conceded that they will "never" recover the the original tax payer dollars. Tim Clark will determine the fate, not AB.

Perhaps MSN would be more accurate with the headline reading "Things We didn't know".

What do we expect from MSN? May as well get our news from the lunatics on Huffington Post.
