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

[@MisterItchy]

That no-flap landing was sensational!

[@UncleKennysPlace]

And it was probably the fastest most of the passengers have gone on pavement.

[@nirgle]

Amazing

[@Gerhard57NL]

Yes, but the video didn't reveal if there was enough runway left.

[@ZelenskyTheMadClown]

I wondered why it was going so fast.

[@se-kmg355]

@@ZelenskyTheMadClown No flaps.

[@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.

[@KingInTheSoutha]

@@JiantingLiu-c8x aren't autolands reserved for low visibility only?

[@KingInTheSoutha]

@@aldammer4912 lol, that must've been one hell of a butter landing if you still remember it over 35 years later 😃

[@bumrocky]

That Lufthansa landing at the beginning was butter!

[@garyb6219]

It was lard!

[@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!

[@ViperAviation.]

That a380 was sick!

[@soupfork2105]

You know some muppet is gonna post that clip on Reddit titled: "Airbus 380 BREAKS SOUNDBARRIER on landing!"

[@AnimalisMD]

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

[@MeppyMan]

No u in Qantas (which is hard to process if you’re not from this part of the world, so no judgement there). It is an acronym.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

Those Atlas 747s get the shit knocked out of them. They even fly the last production 747 ever made, i think.

[@LasVegasAviation777]

Yeah Atlas Air did get the last 747-8 and the queen will fly for another 30 years!!! I hope

[@sgthop]

@@LasVegasAviation777 Maybe not with landings like that...

[@lancealbon46]

Well played Qantas pilot landing at such a high speed with flaps failure. That looked pretty smooth for the speed they were doing. The A380 landing looked cool as well, but Qantas needed skills and experience for that landing.

[@TheImperialChannel]

*FACT: That's the only 777 to have ever survived flying through a volcanic eruption.*

[@Butter575.]

Retired from aerospace engineering 4 years ago where I travelled the world - I look back at my flights on mainly Emirates A380's with great fondness.

[@Simonize41]

That Lufthansa A380 landing was the softest and most buttery I have ever seen. Those pilots are great!😎

[@trainwreck3697]

Incredible visual quality on the Lufthansa shot

[@dwaynebrietzke]

Ok that first A380 clip was pretty awesome.

[@Kdschaak]

We're comin in, and we're comin in hot!

[@bertg.6056]

That 380 did a little aerobraking, too.

[@FourBrothers-s3f]

We've heard of the flapless landing in Perth. We were at the back of the viewing platform, watching that QANTAS Boeing 737 as it speedily approached the runway. It's lucky they managed to stop just in time.

[@jdriley24]

.....and that, Timmy is how clouds are made😂

[@reiner5593]

2:40 how long does it take for the wings to end up this dirty years ? or months

[@MrSpleenboy]

Not that long, if my car's anything to go by... 😃

What a beautiful sight 👍

[@MhLiMz]

That A380 landing was as smooth as margarine

[@ronaldsimmons9517]

It's amazing how much of a low pressure is created above the wing, especially when the aircraft is put into an approach configuration.

[@cheemomugdoo799]

I would think that washing a plane would be a scheduled event, like maintenance.

[@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC]

Gets washed whenever it rains.

[@ronaldkonkoma4356]

[@jiubboatman9352]

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

[@monsieurm6975]

The A380 is still not only beautiful but it's a technical marvel.

[@kamiloos4393]

A380 is such a beautiful plane. I flew on Lufty's A380 MUC - JFK - MUC and it's so big. Its completly diffrent experience then any other plane, even B747.

[@rapid13]

Dude (or dudette) buttered that landing!

[@jeanlehmann595]

It is a lovely physical effect due to low pressure above the wing, which promotes water condensation if the air is saturated in water

Atlas pilot: "I caught the #3 wire."

[@mkvv5687]

Heh. I was watching with interest to see when (and if) it was going to stop in time. Well done.

[@Gerhard57NL]

2:24 Scale model painters call that soiled look "weathering". But, considering the uneven and loose response of the flaps, the soiling is part of a general maintenance issue.

[@MeppyMan]

What “uneven and lose response is the flaps? I’m guessing you’re not an aircraft engineer or a pilot?

[@TheShowblox]

“Exploding condenstation” sounds stupid lol

[@darkpixel2k]

[@PaulParrish-c3m]

I bet most of the passengers in that Lufthansa didn't even realise they had landed, it was so smooth 🙂

[@bv3bv334]

That B777 could also do with having its spoilers looked at.

[@EdOeuna]

Look fine to me.

[@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?

[@smoketinytom]

Muh, not Boeing, must trash aircraft. Meanwhile, Boeing, must trash their own.

[@SkyWatchAviation]

And yeah that speedbird 777 really needs a wash like really bad

[@7000fps]

Boy ! He is breaking the SOUND barrier! Big planes just look slower when they do that.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

That’s not breaking the sound barrier. That’s actually flying relatively slow.

[@IShotMyPants]

2:25 did it get dirty during flight?? or did it takeoff like tht!!!!??

[@soaringvulture]

It took off even dirtier. Some of it was sloughed off at cruising speed.

[@scott931]

Emirates pilots are some of the most cautious, imo. That B777 is as dirty as a London skyline.

[@RandyOm]

777 has a desparate need of a wash, or hydralic system check?

[@ChrisHursty]

That last BA 777 look like 'Mater' (Cars) 😂

[@CableWrestler]

Why do you have subtitles on there twice. Once on screen and again in the captions?

[@mkvv5687]

Sometimes CC gets turned on. I think I've seen it on occasion with other vids. It appears to happen when I "open in new tab" with Firefox.

[@rainman7992]

if you think of the wings as mountain tops... and it is the air that is moving

[@most-average-athelete]

is it just me or is there an atlas air 747 slamming the runway in every video? :x

[@user-kb8gh5jv9t]

Physics at work

[@smedleyx]

I don't suppose it's practical to have the landing gear wheels get "spun up" with motors just before landing, so that they're already going closer to the actual speed

[@TrinabhHimself]

We got A380 breaking the sound barrier before GTA 6... lol

[@TrinabhHimself]

Yes. Much heavier.

[@NegativeROG]

If you can't do something as simple as keep it clean, why would I have confidence you've done the hard stuff, like maintenance?

[@EssGeeSee]

The whole of B.A. is in need of a ‘proper wash’.

[@6yjjk]

My friend and I applied for airline jobs in Australia, but they didn't Qantas.

[@engchoontan8483]

all a380 have more than enough surface area. any additions like winglets will add to airframe hours multiplier. wheel-well and rate of descent to capacitative air effects will also add hours. all structural stress should add hours. last plane = flies well. pilot have reputation. low air pressure, relative to bottom, will polish under wings and dirt deposit above it, to dusty slippery air-flow and increase lift performance.

[@steveshuffle]

at which speed (approx) was that 737 landing??

[@rdspam]

Iirc, no flaps is Vref40 + 55, so somewhere around 190kts, 220 mph, depending on weight.

[@steveshuffle]
