Did the DREAMLINER 787 Perth to Heathrow non stop via Qantas in 2018. At the time we held the record (on the way home ) in 15 hours or there abouts, it may have been surpassed, this aircraft was amazing. My mother and I flew cattle class and I’m 6”3 and still made it over no problem. Awesome aircraft!
A plane before it’s time but also superseded by newer materials and construction methods. With airports being squeezed for space and slots, the A380 or a modern equivalent may have its time again. New engine designs for efficiency and noise may yet make it possible to design it as a 2 engine aircraft. The double decker approach throughout the plane gives much more space for even economy class. And we await the review by the US aviation safety people on seat size. If the case is well made for wider seats and more leg room in economy on the grounds of safety, then many of the current planes will fail.
Is this video about the Airbus A380 or an advertisement of how Boeing test their planes and lets pilots know what to do if things go wrong. Airlines have grounded 70% of their A380s because of the high cost to operate & maintain. These idle A380s are being cannibalized for expensive parts. To Bad they don’t build them anymore and took a huge loss while they were in production. Bad call by Airbus. I guess there trying to say that Boeing is a better plane than any Airbus plane.
For god’s sake, this is another video where no shot is allowed to be on screen for more than 1 second. You are determined not to let the viewer see anything. I find it unwatchable!
