Airbus A380 in EHM fleet?
EHM-1617 Iain:
Yes, I believe I saw the same documentary Robert. I don't know why this is happening, but I hope for Airbus' sake that it won't need 10 miles - that could be devastating.
EHM-1651 Christian:
Well I don't think Airbus would try to place false info for an marketing trick, it would sertainly have an impact on their reputation so i think what they say are after the result of the modeltesting that was shown in the program.
Is true and it will certainly be tested in the flightcertification program.
Anyone know the sepration for the AN-225 wich are in the same size, and have no winglets to reduse the vortex?
Airbus has also been coordinating the "AWIATOR” programme
This programme is about reducing vortex among other things
See link:
http://www.airbus.com/en/presscentre/pressreleases/pressreleases_items/08_29_03_AWIATOR.html] Some info on AWIATOR
But if the wake vortex is going to be a problem for the A380 it must also become a problem for the new 747 version to when it having it's weight increase??
In the end of the day of the day this won't be such a big problem as it seems as the A380 won't be flying in and out of airports every 5min.
And a problem is there to be solved........
A little of topic but anyway.
Many other places espacially in the Us it seems the be very important to be very happy with everything Boeing does and whatever Airbus does it's just crap???
But anyhow none had faith in the first 747's either but they have been here for a long time no so lets wait an see:P:P
EHM-1821 Javier:
I've just checked out the 225 but it said this: The wing is clean, having no fences and no vortex generators. Can that be possible?
