First SCRAPPED A380s at French Airplane GRAVEYARD !!

Tarmac Aerosave is a company based in Tarbes airport, southwestern France. They maintain, store and recycle planes. Here is a short video of what the first Airbus A380s to be scrapped (former Singapore Airlines) look like as of febuary 2020.

Why is there A350 there. Such a beautiful plane and so new. Unless a prototype/testing one.

[@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24]

It's an early prototype, probably the aircraft that flew the initial certification campaign notice it's in airbus house colours. Such aircraft are difficult to sell to an airline because their spec is different to the product standard aircraft. Usually they are heavier because of all the extra wiring, brackets etc built into it for the flight test equipment and sensor package it carried for the flight test campaign. Later prototypes (5 built for A350) are often closer to production standard and usually sold after the tests are done

[@NickCampbellCampbeln]

[@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006]

@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 it is possible to use pyrolysis to revert carbon/Kevlar fiber reinforced polymers into their constituent chemical make up but the energy consumption is a thousand times higher than pumping oil out of the ground so there is no commercial incentive to do so unlike iron or aluminium which represent energy savings when recycled. large objects require being broken up mechanically first which in itself is a far more hazardous process with composites than metals. Add to this the difficulty in repairing composite structures and it is clear why the corpses if slightly damaged Cirrus' are beginning to litter small airfields around the world. If a legacy Cessna gets banged up, we either patch it up or use what we can to keep something else flying and sell the rest as scrap to pay for coffee and biscuits.

As you probably know the entire nose section of the 747F is hinged and swings upward to allow freight to be loaded/unloaded into either the side or the nose (for oversize freight) or pass completely through the fuselage, as with many large freight aircraft. On the A380 an unfortunate design decision placed the flight deck near the center of the nosecone preventing similar modification or making it prohibitively expensive.

This aircraft was only leased by Singapore, it belonged to the Dr. Peters Group, a leasing and financial service for aircraft. Singapore didn't extend the leasing contract, and Dr. Peters couldn't find another customer or this very early aircraft (MSN 003 and MSN 005). The 2nd one is at 1:56 in the video.

Can someone tell me why there is an A350 there?

[@dzidekkrepak8289]

This is A350-941 F-WZNW, 4th Pre-production aircraft, first flight Feb 26, 2014, currently owned by Airbus Industrie and stored at Trabes, waiting to be sold (but I don't know where? A museum?)

[@leftatedsa]

Probably one of the aircraft used as a test unit. No seats, just a flat floor with anchor points for test equipment. It could be quickly reconfigured and used for future tests of different engines, larger or more powerful providing the current wing structure can cope

[@dzidekkrepak8289]

@@leftatedsa Yes. The only certain conclusion is that this aircraft is not scrapped. It is well protected for long-term storage and planned for further use, but the details are unknown...

[@TheThailand101]

Thanks for your feedback guys!

[@ianstewartaviation2634]

Very sad sight

[@Michael.Chapman]

Surely they’re not scrapping 350s yet? So hard to believe that a380s are being scrapped so young. Also sad that QANTAS has sent into the desert / decommissioned Australia’s four adolescent, 747-438 ERs... the pinnacle of the 400 version, these rare beauties, who performed so safely and reliably for 17 years, were dismissed without any true official appreciation or celebration taking place...

[@HWingsAviation]

They are in storage

Brand new Ukrainian Tu160s with 100 hrs of flight times were scrapped. They should have been GIVEN to the US

[@CaliSteve169]

They are not Ukrainian. And why would Russia give us military planes?

[@songsakklamklang4730]

I’m also wondering that not just only A380, A350 is also scrap. Both A380 and A350 are our pride at Toulouse

[@HWingsAviation]

Indeed, no A350 has been scrapped yet though
