The 747 has been my favorite airliner for decades. After taking over a dozen flights on the A380 in 3 different classes, the 747 can't hold a candle to it as far a passenger experience goes. Great airliner that I hope will travel on for decades yet to come.
Completely right!!!!😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤
So incredible, Not making a profit and production stopped 2 years ago. The last 747 was made 10 months ago...after a production Ron that started in 1969.
@@raywhitehead730 - The 747 is a much greater success story than the A380. But strictly from a passenger perspective, the A380 is a much better passenger experience.
I'm glad to have been on it
Engineering never ceases to amaze me. I know we have the technical know-how to build such a plane, but how do you even go about planning and designing a behemoth like this? Incredible
It’s the most stable aircraft I have flown on.
I'll add #11...it is a dream to pilot. A neighbor of mine flew MD-11s for UPS from Anchorage to Paris. I asked him if he'd ever piloted an A380. He had, and said it was a really pleasant experience. But he still preferred the MD-11 BECAUSE it was more manual. He felt more in-control of the aircraft.
When did UPS start operating A380s lol
@@tomkandy They didn't. The UPS pilot lived in Las Vegas, NV and had a get-away townhouse down the street from me in Flagstaff, AZ. That's how I knew him. He would commute from Las Vegas to Anchorage, AK, pick up his MD-11 there and fly west, eventually terminating in Paris. He would then commute back to Las Vegas. Somewhere along the way, he managed to pick up an Airbus certification on his own, and managed to get behind the controls of an A380. On another note, he preferred flying at night to limit the amount of solar radiation his body had to deal with. Pilots flying long haul routes during daylight hours can pay a heavy physical price.
Fluttering isn't the right word when it comes to wing flex. Technically it isn't the right word. Wing-flex is correct, flutter isn't, especially when you're talking about lift
Not one of the best - for passengers THE BEST.
Super awesome indeed👍. Hopefully, i will get a chance to fly onboard the A380 in the near future.
Excellent piece!
wooo! and i'm flyin on 4 in december! WHOO
You lucky
I have 4 flights coming up on Emirates via Dubai . First time with Emirates and first time on a 380.
Hope they don't let me down.
Man....the A380 is truly a majestic airliner...
Flew a number of times on the A380 business class and once first class. Absolutely superb aircraft and a brilliant experience. Its the first time I've been on a commercial flight and its truly felt like a futuristic experience - the sheer size of the things is mind blowing and the mini bar is fantastic. Its a shame that there hasn't been more orders for them because they are a superb aircraft. The only negative I can think of is that the landings tend to be a little rough on the upper deck, not too bad but quite shaky 😅
who invented the term superjumbo? i think it is such a cute yet creative term 😍😍
Fun Fact of the day (Tuesday 6th February 2024): the A380 only has reverse thrust on engine 2 and 3 because engine 1 and 4 usually are above the grass next to the runway so if it had reverse thrust on engine 1 and 4 it would blow things on the grass away, e.g. taxiway signs vehicles (even though they wouldn’t be near the runway when a plane is landing) and just anything in general.
10 problems with the Airbus A380.
1) The A380 is only efficient if it is near 100% full. It almost never is.
2) The A380 can only land at a limited number of airports because of its size and weight. (The 747 can land at far more airports).
3) There is no second hand market for the A380.
4) The A380 makes a poor freighter despite its size. The floors are structurally needed, making it difficult and slow to load.
5) The A380 is expensive and difficult to maintain. After a few years there are a LOT of checks and replacements needed.
6) The A380 cost Airbus billions of Euros. It never came close to paying for itself.
7) Most airlines that bought the A380 retired it in less than 10 years.
8) The A380 was very expensive to buy.
9) The A380 is good for a hub and spoke model while the industry is mostly point to point.
10) The A380 entered the market years too late.
It doesn't matter for the passenger.
@@frimmbits It matters for the airline.
Glad you not running an airline.
@@raywhitehead730
Why? Because I pointed out the downsides of the A380? Only people who ignore the downsides of the A380 should run an airline?
Isn't it when boarding while approaching this plane you have the feelings of excitement, happy and proud even your ticket is economy only. For best experience when most passengers are sleeping make a tour from the main level up to the 2nd floor end to end lol.
So slightly larger than the A319 wing span?
The 319 has the same wing span of the 320. They didn't change the wing between the two.
Several of things highlighted are why it didn't well in the market.
Unfortunately, completely inefficient production process and a logistical Desaster. It could be soo much cheaper
It'll never be the icon that the 747 is.
At this point I am a A380 expert. Every 2 weeks we get A380 video from Simply flying
The best aircraft ever built - The Kind of The Skies!!
Hi is this gonna blow up
First comment btw
It's big it's slow it's inefficient and ugly. Yeah, what a great aircraft!
A380 is a bad plane. It is poorly engineered. It should go away.
Compared to which aircraft?
The 777 or the 737 MAX?
