Airbus A380

[Proof!]

A380 is the biggest service plane and it will be in full service by 2007 hopefully

Plus many other tests are going on the plane aswell.

Looks very swanky as long as it is safe thats all at that matters.

im sure it'll be safe.

there's a program on discovery or discovery wings every so often at about 9pm

[Rock:Dude]

Of course it will be safe, you dont know how many tests this thing will have been put through. Theyll probably have made sure that it can fly through a flying fireball while carrying twice as many passengers as it is meant to hold while trying to a loop de loop.

Also, concorde was safe. Did anyone notice it was the french one that crashed though.

Bigger plane = more seats = more money = less legroom.

Thats all i can think of atm. Ill edit if i can criticise it some more!

I like the A380, I just cant help thinking... it would be the target for terrorist attacks !

I think it's ok. I think you would have to travel business or first class to actually feel the luxury of the aircraft, other than that it's just like being on any other aircraft in economy.

I was watching some Youtube video's about it and apparently it has less emissions and fuel take or something so hopefully it'll be better for the enviroment.

Meh, just realised the guy above me bumped the thread :@

Well since its already bumped. Anyway the maiden flight was last week 25 Oct with Singapore Airlines DA BEST! I guess it will be a success, as in the 1970s, fuel economy was not that important, for the Boeing 747. Now, with the demand for fuel economy and technology, it is much safer/less fuel than Boeing 747 so yh I guess it is.
