A380 Creates Exploding Condensation

[@Real3PO]

That Lufthansa A380 landing has got to be one of the most beautiful aviation shots I've ever seen.

[@Pro_PandasRoblox]

auto landing or crazy good piloting lol

[@wernerschulte6245]

Agreed ! The landing is like a study of air flow physics, too.

[@Gondorff273]

It will become No. 1 in "Flying-Instruction-Advisery-Tape" in future ... Chapter X "How to safe rubber and prevent extreme landing forces on gears" ... 😂😂😂

[@KingInTheSoutha]

That first A380 was buttery smooth on landing!

[@Milesco]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't get much smoother than that!

[@JiantingLiu-c8x]

probably auto-land

[@aldammer4912]

I was headed to Korea in 1989. Landed in S.F. for a flight change. 747, that pilots landing was so smooth the flight attended complimented the pilots once on the tarmac.

"butter" :nerd:

[@RobertCraft-re5sf]

That A380 footage is awesome. It really shows how the low pressure above the wings really holds the giant aircraft up. It never ceases to amaze me how huge those planes are, but my favorite is still the 747.

[@mkvv5687]

Yeah. I remember as a youngster finding it hard to believe the true aerodynamics of flying. I had intuited (wrongly, ofc) that it was all about the wing angle. I researched it and learned a bit of physics, before I knew what physics was.

[@richardheironimus8494]

And smoking hot wing leading edge!

[@DanielSilva-gc4xz]

@my.comments.keep.being.deleted this is just another way of saying it. Effectively, the low presure above is the cause for the most part of the lift produced. And the video is a good visualization of it happening in real time. It's like saying that ice makes drinks cold, what happens is that the heat around makes the ice heat up, but saying that the ice the cause for the drink to be cooling down is not wrong either. Btw I relate to your name, this youtube censoring algorithm is straight up damaging.

[@DanielSilva-gc4xz]

@my.comments.keep.being.deleted same thing different words

[@DanielSilva-gc4xz]

@my.comments.keep.being.deleted I understand, but above of the wing is where there is the most air pressure difference created compared the the ambient, which is why the above of the wing is responsible for the most lift, or in other words, responsible for the most of the effect that causes lift, responsible for the most difference in pressure between under and above the wing. The wing is primarily shaped so that the pressure above it gets low, and that is the most important part for the lift. You better never say that ice makes things cold lol.

[@AnimalisMD]

Wow! what a difference the lack of flaps makes! Kudos to the Quantas pilots!

[@MeppyMan]

[@jiubboatman9352]

So engrossed in the condensation and the the silky smooth landing I forgot that I was watching the largest commercial aviation aircraft.

[@MichaelJolySr]

The rapid decompression of the air above the wing combined with the moist air creates fog!

[@fuffoon]

Slightly off subject, but the US press/media lambasted the A380 and even announced its early retirement from service and a great failure to Airbus. Meanwhile, the majority of them are flying, filled to capacity. What's the deal with network propaganda?

That A380 landing was as smooth as margarine

[@LCdrDerrick]

This is not condensation due to the low pressure/temperature drop area above the wing, but the German Chili Contest Eating National Team on their way back from Mexico. They've been quarantined within the plane for 24 hours to come. They fenced the plane off and the firefighters had to additionally create a dense mist with their high pressure nozzles, which worked fine for the terminals, but not so good for the neighboring village.
