Hi folks!

Yesterday I found the first pics of the new A 380 in the internet.

Here at the pushback from the hangar in Toulouse:

And two in front of the hangar with demounted engines:

looking really impressive, especially the first one.

:]

I hope they did, that is a wonderful a/c.

Well ... we didnt got it, because (and only because of that) we didnt got 2.50000 million dolars to buy it...

But we already managing it .. Tim, can you give us a help ?

Thanks!

EHM-1358 Tim · « **Reply #4 on:** January 15, 2005, 10:01:37 am »

What kind of help?

:)

When will it fly officially? Perhaps for that time we can order some

EHM-1358 Tim · « **Reply #6 on:** January 15, 2005, 12:22:12 pm »

I think it will fly this year.

EHM-1539 Pierre · « **Reply #7 on:** January 15, 2005, 01:14:26 pm »

Should begin tests soon, and begin operational airline flight in 2008.
For modelling, have some cross section blueprints of it, so message me if you are interrested.

Anyone know about Boeing's new a/c? I havent heard much about it in a while, maybe they canceled the project... I think it was the 7E7.

EHM-1358 Tim · « **Reply #9 on:** January 15, 2005, 01:20:23 pm »

THe 7E7 is still going strong, but I dont think its anyway near compleation so it will not be in the press.

a380 seems to have come so quickly!!

i remember seing it on discovery wings as just a "look into the future" at the end of a program.. before it even had a name!

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/adamdivin/Aero/A380%203.JPG

really is a giant!!

edit: just seen on the airbus website.. official unveiling is in 2 days 8 hours and 43 minuets

I´ve heard something about first test - flights in march

I recall that it goes into service at 2006, not sure if they've pushed it back or not though

Want some better pictures?? Check Airliners.net

Example: A380

EHM-0948 Bruno · « **Reply #14 on:** January 17, 2005, 11:33:52 am »

Pedrosa, nice photo out there...

Definately it is a big airplane. Let's see if it turns correctly to approach Madeira or Kai Tak

.

The engines are very very big too .... my god, it surely will make sound noise when taking off

EHM-1001 Robert · « **Reply #15 on:** January 17, 2005, 12:15:44 pm »

I am sure the RR Trent-900 engines will be as silent as economical. I have heard somewhere that flying on the A380 is much more economic than driving as many diesel cars as passengers on board. It uses much less fuel on the same distance and divided by same number of passengers as an economic diesel car.

Good job Airbus! Wish my company worked for them

EHM-1001 Robert · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2005, 12:19:40 pm »

Oh...and I also red that Airbus will release the A350-800 which is a further interior design of A330-300 (same in EHM fleet) as a competitor for Boeing 7E7. What I do not understand is why they do not build a new plane from those many elements they have...coz they have so much like in a LEGO toy. And why they start the new plane from the 800 variant?

EHM-1524 Alex · « **Reply #17 on:** January 17, 2005, 05:50:46 pm »

i must say from the front it just doesnt look like it's meant to fly it so, fat, i love the new 7e7 and hope for boeing's sakes it works

EHM-0744 Alex · « **Reply #18 on:** January 18, 2005, 07:43:51 pm »

Today the P.M's of ENG FRA GER & SPA are meeting to oversee the "launch", of the A380, should be in the news!:) First time I saw that I didnt think it could fly either Alex;)

EHM-1358 Tim · « **Reply #19 on:** January 18, 2005, 07:48:45 pm »

I hope when its in servise it comes to Manchester. But I think it will cos theres lots of cool a/c that go there. But then I noramly see a/c come from the west and south-west.

EHM-1365 Benjamin · « **Reply #20 on:** January 18, 2005, 08:48:47 pm »

Will it be able to land at Manchester? Looks like it would need the M1 to be able to stop

:%

Anyway, it has been designed to serve only major airports, so in the UK, probably only Heathrow will take it....life is harsh isnt it

EHM-1358 Tim · « **Reply #21 on:** January 19, 2005, 07:51:38 am »

Yes...

lol :]

EHM-1507 Manuel · « **Reply #22 on:** January 19, 2005, 04:49:56 pm »

For my part I´m glad that EDDM is ready for A380.
I hope, it really will be serviced with it.
I expect there some really nice photos to take.....

EHM-1524 Alex · « **Reply #23 on:** January 19, 2005, 05:10:08 pm »

I think it will be at a minimal amount of airports because runways need to be improved for it to opperate

EHM-1507 Manuel · « **Reply #24 on:** January 19, 2005, 07:11:43 pm »

Jes, I agree, there would be just one or two airports in each european country which can be operated with A380.
And until it would be established in amounts close to the 747 it would last some time, too, so that it would be very hard for one to take some good photos of that fat duck for a long time
