Boeing had its first order from ANA for 50 7E7's this week! I like the new 7E7's and think it will bring Boeing back on top again! I can't wait to see one in real life. Deliveries are suppose to start in 2008.

I always found it weird for an airline to order aircraft that doesn't even exist yet. This is after all a billion dollar purchase, and NO refunds :P

I don't think Boeing is going to make it on top
again. Airbus is coming out with the A380 in
2006 and already has quite a few orders.

Ciao ciao!

The A380 isn't really a competitor to the 7E7, but if I have to believe Airbus the A330 series comes close. I don't buy that, though. The A330 is much older and no matter how much I love that plane,  it just won't be as advanced as the 7E7.. now this is the part where the names A350 and A360 can come in handy :]

I didn't mean to put the B7E7 and the
A380 on the same level. They clearly are
completely different planes. But in terms
of prestige and sales I bet on Airbus.

Ciao ciao!

Do you guys think Boeing is going to make the deadline? How many years did it take for B777 to get from the design phase to first delivery? And how much time will it still take for A380 to be delivered?

Well I know that the A380 has most of its parts like wings and fusealarge (sorry if spelt wrong). There now shipping them to be put together.
There could, not saying they will, have a test flight right at the end of this year or before the new FS come out.

If I remember correctly, the A380 should first
fly sometime in 2006, while the first orders
should be delivered sometime in 2007.

Ciao ciao!

If I'm not mistaking, Lufthansa is already building new hangars in Frankfurt for the A380...

Quite a number of International Airports are also currently undergoing modifications (widening of taxiways, adding of more aerobridges etc) to allow the A380 to operate from the airport

Oh thats good, I hope Manchester (EGCC) does some mods to the airport. So I could see one.

Is it true that each wing is 45m long?

The wingspan of the A380 is around 80m so each wing should be around 40m long.....or are you talking about the slant length?

From the Aurbus site:

The first A380 wing, a starboard wing for static tests, left Airbus’ factory in Broughton, North Wales on 5 April 2004 on the first leg of its journey to France. Hundreds of Airbus employees watched as the huge wing, measuring over 45 metres along its leading edge, was driven out of the dispatch area and off on the start of its journey to Toulouse.

And at another part of the site:

After being removed from its jig, the first A380 wing, a port wing for MSN001, the first flight test aircraft, was manoeuvred through 90 degrees to be laid in a horizontal position for the first time.

At this stage, this wing weighs around 30 tonnes - including flight test instrumentation. It measures over 36 metres along its leading edge, is 11 metres wide and nearly three metres deep at the root-end (where it attaches to the fuselage).


Seems like they don't know it themselves :o

You are probably right Lim, I remember the
1 year distance, but I wasn't sure about the
first flight. Good news. Less to wait.

I think the wing is really half the distance of the wingspan when it is off the plane. But after assembly, some areas are hidden in the fuselage, so probably the visible part is only 36 metres out of the total 45. Maybe ... :%

if that's true it's a little surprising........9m of each wing hidden in the plane body (fuselage?).......
