"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 🤡

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.

[@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.

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.

Did the DREAMLINER 787 Perth to Heathrow non stop via Qantas in 2018. At the time we held the record (on the way home ) in 15 hours or there abouts, it may have been surpassed, this aircraft was amazing. My mother and I flew cattle class and I’m 6”3 and still made it over no problem. Awesome aircraft!

[@briangriffiths1285]

Of course the Dreamliner had seats removed to make that trip, in standard layouts for shorter services you might struggle at 6’ 3”. Having said that l fly LHR to Vancouver on Dreamliners and it is very bearable. The higher pressure and more moist atmosphere in the cabin is key to comfort, that was the big improvement in the A380 which the Dreamliner matches.

[@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.

Clearly written by someone who hasn’t travelled on an A380 and 747. The A380 is incredibly quiet inside and outside. No Boeing airplane is as good as the A380 for passenger experience in any class. The 777 is noisy, the Dreamliner much better but not in the same class as the 380. And my qualifications for saying this; over 70 flights on the A380, 50 on 777s, 20 on Dreamliner and 2 on A350, 12 on 747.

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. It's sad to see such a gorgeous airplane go out so soon

[@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.
