Well I dont think it needs that shorter runway. Because I landed at Kai Tak in a 747 and stopped in about 1/6 of te runway.

at first a while back i thought it would definitly win the skies the a380 but now i am not so certain i believe that all this fantasy of spacious bars etc is rubbish airlines want money so it will be a 900 seat all economy layout also i believe its usefullness only lies in long trips between major airports. Most airports wont provide for it. In conclusion i think we will  be seeing newer versions of the 747 for many years to come :) yay GO BOEING

Newer Versions of the 747 defiinately are planned.
I read something about a stretched version, on what Boeing wants to test first building - sections for 7E7.

You´re right, the luxury - versions with bars and sofas and so on would be really rare in the skies.

But versions with less first - class, some business - class and many economy - class seats will compete with 747 in the future.

Yep, yesterday saw in the newspapers some digital photos of the supposed interior first class design and thought that it was all rubbish, I mean, the bar and all that... Never happens, when the 747 first came out there were photos of grand pianos and people playing them along with a bar and a cocktail service:s haven't seen that anymore, but then thats maybe just me. :] Alex, you are 100% correct in my opinion, companies will go for the most economical designs they can figure out, and maybe some luxuries will be included for the first years but that is sure to dimish.

This is not to say that on EHM 747's there is no grand piano along with in-flight live entertainment. ;D;D;D

It´s true,  that it´s just an illusion that there would fly first class hotels through the sky, but in this times, you need somethig to get the people wondering about. If Airbus just announced "We´ve developed the biggest and most economical aircraft ever" no one would have had taken care about.

But if anyone is talking about the aircraft, and every newspaper and tv - news is full of it, it is an inducement for airlines to buy it and to provide passengers with that plane (not with that interiour, most passengers can´t afford).

In my oppinion, all that pics of the super-luxuy-bird were just an advertising strategy of Aribus.

Well I can see why it sold, Emirates were convinced by it and i'm sure there are many people willing to fly that way, plus, I'm sure that most of the planes seating configuration will be economy class anyway.

Personaly i love the fact of the A380

Does anyone know of an A380F coming out?

..on the subject of luxury, i think there will be very very few luxury models, and like what was said before, the 900-seater versions (does it really seat 900!?) will be the most popular options, with so many low cost carriers and the current low fares craze i think people will look for the cheaper tickets..

also, there have been luxury liners before but they have never been popular!.. i dont think any trip on a jet aircraft is long enough to need that kind of entertainment.. just give me my own lcd screen, nose camera and the cockpit radio on my headphones and ill be happy for 14 hours!! (thank you united airways!)

one new dedication for the luxury - liners I can imagine is to replace the very exclusive concorde - schedules.

The size of the A380 is obviously incredible. How will it compare against the largest at the moment, the AN225. i know ones cargo and the other is for both but can they be compared each other. I saw a picture on a.net a few days of ago of a Polet Cargo An124 carrying the new A380 engines and the engine size is massive compared to the Antonov but what about length and weight.

Another player on the playground for the cup of largest bird.

It is the Boeing 797 concept plane! Now available for FS2004.


It have a 2-4-4-2 seat config on the first floor (3-4-3 for B7474 !!!) and a sleeping/resting cabin on the upper floor, that is why there are not windows there, like the Airbus-380 have. The nose gear is a double-double config, which means 4 wheels total. It is really, really big!  ;)

I have found out that the take off distance for all series A380 have 10600 ft. as the takeoff roll. (but I don't know if it's right). How does this compare to the 747-400?

The 747 - 400 would need about 10800 to 10900 ft to get off

I can´t wait to see the A 380 on air..............

Great test flight wasn't it?

Go here and click on watch the flight for the BBC news article.

Perhaps we should add an 8th A380 exclusive class which requires 200 or 250 hours specifically for the super jumbo (assuming that EHM buy one)?! (That's only semi-serious, but maybe it's an idea. Opinions and comments please)
