The A380 will never come back, maybe in the future a double decker super jumbo will take to the skies again, with more advance design and two VERY powerful engins, but not the A380. I flew SQ A380 to NRT and back to SIN in a A350, and the level of comfort, and quietness on the A380 is still unmatched, just wish the windows were bigger.
Maybe Rolls Royce, GE or Pratt and Whiteney could buy the Airbus a380 to use to test out their new engines. The Airbus a380 has more space underneath the wing than then Boeing 747 does.
I imagine it would be cost prohibitive to restart production at this point, making the loss per aircraft for Airbus even greater. In the 90s combi aircraft were very common. I flew weekly on Alaska from SJC to SEA late Friday nights, it was always a Super 80 combi with only a net separating the 12 rows of seats from the ULDs. Super cheap around $50 for the one way.
He he, I guess that is ok to presume that you, Dan, have read my little teasing about the reborn Beluga ... and it has fired up your imagination ... 🙂😉
They're stuffing 500 people in a 777. They can fly further, cheaper on 2 engines than the 380 could on 4. The A380 and all other 4 engine planes are dinosaurs. No amount of tinkering will make it more efficient than the 2 engine planes that replaced it.
I still wandering why no retrofitting of current A380s with A380plus’s winglets and approved aerodynamics to improve efficiency of airlines who still operating an A380 ?
Not enough lifetime left on the airframe before the planned phaseout. If you spent a million on a plane, then only if the plane will have enough service time left in your fleet to not only recoup that money, but to generate more money than that. Usually airlines take planes out of service and sell them before a C or D check. Thus the new owner will have to take care of that, if the plane isn't scrapped right away. For example, that we saw news of airlines refurbishing their cabin interiors was unplanned and should have never been done by them, as new planes arriving at the airline would have negated this need. With the delivery delays in the aviation industry however some airlines saw the need to refurbish planes due to customer relations and reputation. It also highlights the expectations of airlines that the planes will stay longer than planned, thus the new cabin interiors will have enough time to recover the expenses.
Maybe large or superlarge aitcraft are only likely for JFK, LHR, CDG, and a few other slot limited airports. I dont hear about enough demand for maybe 20 years then maybe design and build a new something. 😅😊
Airbus should make it because airlines want large amount of seat to apply first class service in the plane and nether 350 or 787 is good option for that b777 is still unavailable and future is uncertain.They should developed it
And it won't turn into a success, no matter how we turn it. Four engine planes are done. It's that simple. The existing planes will stay for a while, mostly due to the delivery issues in the aviation industry. But that's no justification for a new fuel guzzler, especially given the new rules in aviation. Emirates alone isn't cutting it either.
@@jantjarks7946I don't say make it 4 engine with 800 maximum seat aircraft it's should be around maximum 550-600 seat configuration and developed a powerful twin engine for it even b777 have 450+ seat configuration it can be done if wanted with modern efficiency.
That's basically what the A350-2000 discussions are around, increasing the passenger capacity to what the 777 and 777X can offer, if not exceed it. Even that design has to justify its existence. So far no single US airline ordered the 777X, why should it be different for Airbus? The market situation is the same for both. And for Airbus it's a stark reminder of no single sale to US airlines for the A380 too. Risk and costs are immense for such a design.
@@jantjarks7946 US is not the only market in aviation europe and Asia are also there .A350-2000 is already shut down Airbus have already confirmed there will be no other varient of a350 and a350 can't compete with b777X in size Airbus needs a new aircraft .
If they could find a way to DRASTICALLY reduce operating costs, I bet they would look more into it. But until then, no, the A380 is done. The financial aspect worked well for airlines for a bit, but not anymore and it never worked financially for Airbus.
@@sayorancode It would still need 4 of them. to match the power of the 4 engines on the a380 currently, with 2 engines, would need a 50 per cent increase in power from the biggest available now. Perhaps in 10 years an engine might be available that could do it but there isnt one on the drawing board at this time
It's a dead issue. the A350 and 777X (when it does enter service) will take the place of the 380. The issue is dead, let it rest. For those who want to fly on it, go do that and fill you boots and be able to say you flew on an A380. Otherwise, it's a part of history, let's move on. I'm assuming that today was a slow news day...
And yet another A380 video from DJ.
Ok we get it, But this is getting as old as bringing back the 757.
Two extremes - A321 xlr - you and 200 passengers, nine hours, two loos . A380 - 600 passengers arriving with you at the customs arena.
The A380 will never come back, maybe in the future a double decker super jumbo will take to the skies again, with more advance design and two VERY powerful engins, but not the A380. I flew SQ A380 to NRT and back to SIN in a A350, and the level of comfort, and quietness on the A380 is still unmatched, just wish the windows were bigger.
Airbus SHOULD resume A380 production to meet passenger demand.
stop baiting with low quality content
Thanks Dj!!
Maybe Rolls Royce, GE or Pratt and Whiteney could buy the Airbus a380 to use to test out their new engines. The Airbus a380 has more space underneath the wing than then Boeing 747 does.
The A380 might have a chance if they could ever make it twin engine.
Airbus should release A360, a modernized A300B.
Airlines;
A350 + A321XLR = A380
Has an aeroplane ever been put back into production after it's initial run ended?
I imagine it would be cost prohibitive to restart production at this point, making the loss per aircraft for Airbus even greater. In the 90s combi aircraft were very common.

New Concorde v New A380 ? = NO! The world has moved on.
New De Haviland Comet when?

WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO VISIT THIS TOPIC KNOWING THE ANSWERS NO
Why are you even here if you're not interested in the topic? There's the door, bucko.
we love a380
It should have been offered as a Combi from the Rip, BUT again the aircraft is just too big to utilize MANY airports.
if we could 3d print planes than maybe. but if planes cost less than hundreds of millions, than the whole design will change
Airbus should make it because airlines want large amount of seat to apply first class service in the plane and nether 350 or 787 is good option for that b777 is still unavailable and future is uncertain.They should developed it
It wasn't a sales success, so why?
And it won't turn into a success, no matter how we turn it.

As has been mentioned many times, its NOT going to happen

Why do you keep talking about a dead horse?
Bla bla bla... No ody wants it
No it wont
ITS DEAD!
