I scoffed really loud when you mentioned how Boeing’s “rigorous testing processes” set them apart from the competition.

[@eliabearaujo_1613]

LOL I came down to the comments at the exact moment I heard that sentence hahahaha

[@dgc0120]

Tragically, it wasn’t always that way. Boeing used to have an unrivaled reputation for extremely high and rigorous engineering standards. But once management became ‘PowerPoint/Excel engineers’ focused on bean counting and DEI it became not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’ failures would occur in production aircraft.

[@TheRusschannel]

yeah, why Starliner cant get off the ground LMAO

[@mrinalsingh8943]

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.

[@XX-bn9sf]

Exactly. At least in last few years Boeing is NOT doing well, because it is NOT testing properly.

[@gheorgheieremie8876]

Right

[@FuckYouWhosNext]

you noticed that too huh? they kinda dont stay on any real topics.. they did go into great detail about the plane being painted though

[@KONTHEDON4]

This video is like that couple that plans dinner at a certain restaurant but somehow end up somewhere else.

[@FuckYouWhosNext]

haha theyre kinda all over the frickin MAP! its like 'what happens when you let a stoner make a documentary'

"One of the things that set Boeing aircraft from the competition is the company's rigorous testing processes" - well.... does anyone remember why all Boeing 737 MAX were grounded in 2019? 😛

[@mIkEwIsOsKis]

Improper training of pilots on the aircraft systems.

[@My-Pal-Hal]

Because of you Punk Ass New Age Programmers 😂 We were putting out 747s every 3 Days for over 2 years. And many more over the years of production. AND,.. WITHOUT THE NEED FOR DAILY UPDATES. We kinda got it right the first time. Yes, that's novel concept isn't it. ... do you remember that 🤡

[@Dan-jg7zl]

What! Really? 346 people died in two seperate crashes on the Boeing Max because of them cutting corners to compete with Airbus. Is that the "best journey experience" you are talking about? Boeing are corrupt criminals.

[@tavobuenrostro7048]

Initially clicked on the video cause it was a vid about Airbus. But it quickly turned its focus to Boeing 👍🏽

[@imagereader_9]

10:14 I lived in the Seattle area for about a year during early 1995 and into 1996. Specifically I was in an apartment just across the access highway from the Boeing wide body plant in Everett. At that time the 777 was just entering full scale production. One of the things in progress was the fatigue testing of a production grade 777 airframe . I have no idea what the security situation is now, but back then anybody, including non Boeing employees (like me) could drive freely around certain roads at the plant. One such road passed right by the big blue frame that was used for the testing. On a couple of occasions I pulled over, parked and sat there for a few minutes watching this process, and it was actually entertaining and enlightening. There were cables attached all over the airframe and run through overhead pulleys as you see in the video. Some had counterweights on the other end. The cables tugged here and pulled there, then released the load, and whatever they were attached to would deflect. Others lifted the wings then let them drop. Still another tugged on the vertical stabilizer. Every once in a while some strong force was sent rippling through, causing the whole works to shudder LOUDLY and produce the sounds of cables jangling.

[@droe1021]

No you didn’t.

[@riscnx]

A380 is the best airplane ever made, in fact it's the only airplane I feel comfortable for long journeys. Cabin pressure, toilet size, silence, vibe of being inside an airship... is just perfect. Sad that Airbus & airliners are in delusion that people don't care about the airplane, and are slowing dropping it.

[@byteme9718]

@@SamAbraham I would agree, the A350 is a better flying experience. I fly London to Singapore frequently and base my flights in order of preference with the A350 first and the A380 second. If it shows a 777 I'll find another flight.

[@davidendara731]

Agree

[@coolvinay]

Just looking at the engine and the tiny components and wires it has, working together perfectly for decades, shows how far we have come. And its just a part of the aircraft. I cant even begin to imagine the complexity of whole of the aircraft with its wiring to the control section, its microprocessors made up of billions of nano transistors all working together so nicely. Just Amazing!!!

[@enditakamweneshe6428]

It still amazes me how these monsters even manage to get airborne.

[@raniazd7894]

it would havebeen more interesting to see an Emirates example since they are the main operator of this aircraft

[@TheByard]

The big problem with the A380 is landing at Birmingham, UK with a nearly full plane and two other flights landing around the same time. The terminal was swamped, Emirates limo service were calling asking where I got to. Now whether the other two flights were late or early I don't know. Emirates choice of business seating on the A380 is streets ahead of their choice on the B777 which is more of a coffin.
