What a wrong title. The A380, like the 320, 330, 340 and 350, are designed not to stall. Pilots are properly trained on flight control laws, and handling at low speeds with the proper levels of automation, allowing the airplane to fly without the risk of stalling. This aircraft is not flying slower than at least 1.3 times the stall speed, which is a safe speed for these air-show maneuvers. Please do not misinform people.

The BA 777 at the end had a spoiler PCU leaking in the video...hence the HYD stained outboard flaps

[@ghostrider-be9ek]

and this leak affects ALL of the spoilers?

[@RonaldPottol]

Needs whatever is leaking to be fixed, and then a wash.

[@StephenKarl_Integral]

@@ghostrider-be9ek No but the fluid behaves more like gas, ie spreads everywhere around on any horizontal flat surface, since the flaps are also rubbed upon retraction/extraction. Then, when washed by the wind while the aircraft gains speed, it further spreads backward. After some time dust and thin particles in the air, especially not fully burnt organic particles upon startup concentrating around the wings will stick to the fluid. This makes the "contaminated" flaps (and other surfaces) look dirty and filthy very quick, like a whole mess occurred. The culprit? Yeah, the tiny leak was the source, but the number of days since the last wash are the ones to blame. Not saying a leak can be left unfixed, just scaling down the gravity, some spillage which is a small percent not enough to be a safety issue can make that entire wing black, if ground crew tells you you can still fly and gives you 30 more cycles before an unavoidable ground repair (preferably at one maintenence center of the company), check the last time the plane was washed if you don't feel at ease.. 😊

[@StephenKarl_Integral]

​​@@deeptanshubhowmik5073 some hints : listen to the engines spooling, that's not a take off roar, that's maintaining a fixed speed, meaning it's a flyby/low pass airstunt, not a take off. The A380 is big, very big. Don't be fooled by its seemingly lazy/slow attitude. I bet, if one applies motion photogrammetry, the resulting speed would be around 120kts. Yes, that's below the usual 140kts of a similar airliner on short final, but that A380 has no passengers, no cargo nor luggages, probably only 3 pilots onboard and around 5% fuel. In that case, its stalling speed wouldn't be around 112kts, it would be around 96kts. Also, just an hypothesis on my part, but you only performs a low speed low altitude stunt when you're facing the wind, as a rule. I don't know if everyone follows, but any pilot is well aware why he/she should; assuming it's the case and considering the weather, a photometry computation with ponderation (after eliminating perspective scalings) would increase the A380 airspeed by 10 or 20 kts... Stall speed is still very very far away. 👌

Clickbait. In this airshow, the Malaysian A380 were waaaayyy above the stalling speed, comparing its motion to the background cloudy sky. Around 114-121kts. But in an airshow, the A380 is empty, no cargo, a crew of 3 and approx 5% fuel, its stall speed is around 91kts (stall warning initiating around 100kts in that configuration). Plus, but we don't know for sure, assuming you can present the stunt in a steady 25kts headwind, you can make people believe an A380 can levitate magically........ 🙃 So, clickbait, but it's okay, 3 min of aviation, we forgive 😊

[@teksanemre]

A380 has alfa prot. So in normal law condition ( not alternate or direct law) stall is impossible even if pilot wants

[@danstinson7687]

When a plane is flying slow like that A 380 does it automatically go in the nose up configuration due to speed or are there control inputs tha make the plane fly like that?

[@StephenKarl_Integral]

You must do one input or the other. Ie, in loose configuration (no manual inputs and no autopilot), a plane this class loosing speed is *designed* to naturally nose dive. Well, "designed" is a big word, rather "you'll have to try hard" or "design the plane very different" to make the aircraft behave otherwise. The main wings... lift the entire plane, they must be put somewhere in the middle (longitudinal axis). You can't put them in the back unless you have very heavy things like engines behind them to even weights. You can't put them in front unless you have very heavy things like... engines in front to even weights. The horizontal stabilizers plays almost no role in lifting purpose. They are there to control pitch (attitude) and stabilize flight (hence why they are called horizontal and vertical stabilizers). If the plane loses speed without changing pitch, slowly, the angle of attack increases, ie the airflow hit the plane from an increased angle from below. This just virtually increases lift on main wings, which changes (almost) nothing on the aircraft attitude, but now the horizontal stabilizers starts to generate lift, and they are in the back... what happens is, they naturally lift the back of the plane which creates a nose down behavior, and the plane pitches down naturally (and loses even more altitude) To maintain the same altitude, you either had to gradually pull the yoke to increase lift from main wings while continually negating lift on horizontal stabilizers (beware, without speed maintain/increase, you'll stall shortly), or input the necessary autopilot modes and controls to maintain altitude (and preferably also the speed by letting the computer add slightly more thrust when required). The aircraft computers do the job of pulling the yoke and advancing the throttle at your place (and it generally does the job better than anyone of us nowadays), like a robot. That's why I said you must input the controls to produce a sustained nose up attitude, or configure autopilot to make said inputs at your place. Both cases are likely intentional, meaning what you see is something planned. Just for the context in case you missed, it's a Farnborough Airshow, in UK, the low pass part, at low speed. Plane is empty. Hope that helps.

[@jean-baptiste6479]

One rule of thumb to have an idea of an aircraft speed: The A/C length is 80meters. If the A/C takes 1 second to pass behind a pole (or any fixed point is the background) its speed has to be 80 meters per second. This is 288 km/h.

How do people on the ground judge the air speed of a jet and its angle of attack? I watched first clip and wonder how it can be determined it was close to a stall.

0:08 - Close to stall speed, yes, as close as the envelope protection functionality of Airbus FBW system will allow. there a sea of difference between that and "almost stalls". 1:30 - Ugh, tires didn't like that. But the pilot's got to do what pilot's got to do.

Where's the near stall? Looks like well within the envelop to me.

[@genesisat63krolls]

imagine it actually stalled and one of the biggest moments happen in history

If someone beats the living sh*t out of you because of your clickbaits on please get a good lawyer and take it to court.

That old "needs wash" jet, stuck the landing like a dirty pro!
