First, twin engines are not necessarily more efficient than quad engines. In fact the most efficient engines are that with high bypass ratio, which have higher diameters with for same thust. So instead of huge inefficient superfans to enable twin engine, you should rather think about 4 superefficient quad engines like the RC trent1000, together with a weight and fuel tank reduction. The only issue that you have to come over is the high maintainance, but I really believe that a substantial improvement there in the next few years is realistic. Thereafter refit the existing A380 and afterwards starting to build new planes again.
And which imaginary engine is going to power your fantasy. You need 360,000 lbs of thrust. The most powerful engine the GE 9X achieves 135,000 lbs thrust?
Globalization was promising a great future in the '90s. I think, Europeans were anticipating an uplift in per capita income especially for China and India (over 3 billion people in total). That would trigger a sizable increase in Intercontinental Travel which A380 is built for. That would require dozens of A380s in service, which did not realize. Another factor, security measures imposed by the US has destroyed the airlines, air travel became a torture. Tighter visa requirements, the pandemic also added to reduction in number of passengers in Intercontinental Travel. A380 is a technological marvel and will come back in an Improved more efficient version. Salute to those Engineers, Policy Makers, Managers and Bean Counters who created the A380
The airbus market was thought on a hub to hub model (people would take to or three plans to get to there destination, one of these plans would be a a380 between two hub, ie a huge airport) this model happened to be false, airport companies preferred to use direct long range airplane to do that. The other problem is that a380 is very large, long and have two floors, it required lot of changes in airports, not done everywhere
@@nicobzz1 I gather you don't have an engineering background, or knowledge of tourism, transportation, economics. You don't travel across the oceans often. I can not argue w you
Are Airbus going to re-start manufacturing the A380, I thought Airbus had discontinued doing so. Or will existing aircraft be changed to having 2 engines? I can understand why the airlines might want a 2 engined aircraft, as a passenger the appeal of having 4 engines makes the A380 very attractive. Also, @ 5.17, I didn't realise the A380 flew to this airport (I read the local writing)!
How about a compromise: slightly smaller plane with…..three engines? Ooops, that would be DC-10 from bygone era. Just dust off the blueprints and get to work! And do not forget to redesign cargo door…
Jet engines are getting more powerful and a high bypass engine is under development. Twin engined planes have replaced four-engined planes on many routes. A two engined A380 is understandable provided it meets all safely requirements and can fly safely on one engine.
Not going to happen - ever. The airframe and wings aren't designed for Twin engines Besides, the production line was dismantled and building now houses a third A321 assembly line
Not a big fan of long range two engined aircraft,they might be capable of flying on one engine but they can’t fly on no engine’s should the second engine fail, two engine jets seem reliable but this is going to happen sooner or later over a vast ocean,it’s inevitable because the other engine would have to work at full capacity to maintain flight,the margin for error is ultimately on the side of the four engined aircraft. If people want to fly these distances then they will have to pay for the fuel not with lives.
None of that, you're implying that Airbus is going to launch an A380 with two engines???? It is time to wake up from your dream, this is not yet technically possible and completely untrue.
The switch to two engines had nothing to do with carbon footprint prints or sustainability or what ever other bollocks people spout BUT solely with cheaper running costs which means each flight generates more revenue for the airline! The carbon footprint print bs is used as nothing more than climate propoganda 😂😂
This aircraft sole change will be to retract two engines out of the four. This change will not make any difference on any airport taxiways nor runways as it will have about the same weight. At the gate, it will also be the very same as the wings won't change in size. So there are a lot of misinformation in this video clip most probably because the people who created it does not have a broad knowledge of "airline operations" beside their schedules and type of aircraft any airline has. This is an excellent news as the 777x promising up to 427 passengers and the A-350 with a maximum of 460 passengers are a long way from competing with the A-380. I wonder which engines Airbus as in mind to lift off that aircraft. If they have chosen the GE90-115B that's available in the Boeing 777 and is the current most powerful mass produced engine with 115,300 pounds of thrust but has been one of the central problem for the 777x program . Rolls-Royce has run its UltraFan engine at maximum power at its Testbed 80 facility in Derby, UK with a 110,000 pound thrust achieved October 30, 2024.

It will never reenter production in any shape or form.
it wasnt a technical marvel, its design is actually highly flawed with its usefullness extremely limited due to the lack of cargo ability

@@HT-zx8dn no I don't have what you say, it's what other media say, if they say false so what I said is false but it seems to me consistent
they not getting that massive ahh plane off the ground with 2 engines 💀
A four-engined plane is far more luxurious. Why not switch off two?
It would defeat the purpose. The 2 switched off engines are just dead weight and adds drag
Ha not even making them anymore….mmmm i wonder what happens with an engine failure on one engine…..total bs

It landed at my local airport this morning.
The A380 actually needs two more engines NOT reducing two more engines.

Doubling the thrust of Trent 900 does not exist. This video should have mentioned it.
It go fast, it go best because shiney pictures so cool. We like shiney so it must be true yay!
The new allucinationAiTurboFunAi engine will power this dream 😅

There is no engine being manufactured at this time that can handle this aircraft with the required thrust available ...
@@jteamaz Give it time. Engines are getting more powerful and fuel efficient.
Possibly, maybe ... but the caption says "FINALLY" here ... not even remotely true.
Reducing cost at the detriment of customers' lives

tbh this is the 2nd most clickbait video on earth
Sources? Everything I can find says Airbus is not making any more A380's of any kind, let alone a new 2 engine variant.
Wow bro
Fake
Not going to happen - ever. The airframe and wings aren't designed for Twin engines

Agree totally.
Adding economy at the expense of safety.

Hello this is just BS!!
Bad idea in my opinion.
This aircraft sole change will be to retract two engines out of the four. This change will not make any difference on any airport taxiways nor runways as it will have about the same weight. At the gate, it will also be the very same as the wings won't change in size.

Just won’t happen, not capable
Totally fake. The engines required to allow the a380 to fly as a 2 engined aircraft do not exist and may never exist. Total clickbait.
Use the Boeing 777's engine
Can't
Reported
Why this type of BS ?
Total Rubbish. No two Engines today have enough power to lift off a A380. Click Bait ..
This is BS.
Please stop this nonsense
So it is not finally here! Get a grip and start telling us the truth!
Simply ,FAKE!
It will never happen
What the heck
Enormous annoying fake.
Why RUclips allows this kind of Stupid stuffs to be shown?
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
