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.

[@RussellD11]

yeah, why Starliner cant get off the ground LMAO

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

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 🤡

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!!!

[@deedees1396]

The A380 is probably the greatest passenger jet ever produced. Ane Emirates is probably the best carrier.

[@slavasandsglam]

[@alocassia]

Why is almost half the video about a completely different plane from a completely different company??? You also only delved into the "Assembly" process of the A380 (albeit very surface level stuff) and didn't even touch on the "Building" part...

[@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.

Was lucky and got a VIP tour of Hamburg plant years ago (US Airways & Airbus fund raiser). Got to see the A380 fuselage assembly from the ground...amazes me that a two storie building flys! A320 final assembly was pretty cool too.

[@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.

[@briangriffiths1285]

A plane before it’s time but also superseded by newer materials and construction methods. With airports being squeezed for space and slots, the A380 or a modern equivalent may have its time again. New engine designs for efficiency and noise may yet make it possible to design it as a 2 engine aircraft. The double decker approach throughout the plane gives much more space for even economy class. And we await the review by the US aviation safety people on seat size. If the case is well made for wider seats and more leg room in economy on the grounds of safety, then many of the current planes will fail.

Had this plane been around the same years as 747 (55) which sold about 1500 units.... It would've surely outsold it. A380 sold 255 units in just 14 years... And keep in mind that many 747s are cargo only, they also are both in commercial as well as military A380 during its 14 years of service has never had an incident where a passenger was injured let alone die.

The 777 is noisy, the Dreamliner much better but not in the same class as the 380.
