This A380 is broken thats why is hovering. They brought it in to the hanger to figure out why.

[@Woody-nc1ru]

So that plane is suspended by only 3 jacks!?!?! Can you imagine the structure, the reinforcement for those 3 points to suspend the plane. Man...

[@dylconnaway9976]

Well, it slams into the ground on 5 points- 6 if it’s a boy A380.

[@TheHuesSciTech]

Not to discredit your point, but a) those wings do support the plane while it's flying, so really as long as the two wing jacks are solidly connected through to the wing spar (main structural member of the wing), it's not that big of a deal. Also b) Planes are surprisingly light given their size (kinda like scaled-up empty coke cans), they're designed that way. So yes, it weighs 277 tonnes, but that's just 5 big semi trailer trucks or one tenth of a Virginia-class submarine.

[@duanepierson4375]

As a retired aircraft mechanic, w/ 44 years, yes I can. The comparative size of the jacks are amazing. They seem smaller than they should be. I worked on large helicopters (H-53) for many years, the jack pads are and are attached to major structure. Also the structural size of the doors seems to be a bit light seeing as they stick out in the relative wind when actuating.

[@bobbailey4954]

It surprises me that there are 20 mains and only 2 nose. Im also impressed with the speed the mains come up in relationship to the speed they go down it would require massive hydraulic reservoirs and pumps to accommodate such forces. In addition to the drag exerted on takeoff.

[@totzinfo]

[@FUTURAGAEL]

Thai Airways A-380 the principal land gear in the wings is most similar to A330 land gear 1:16 registration HS-TUC

[@AslanBehar]

How these hydraulic jacks lift up this huge plane only applying force to a small part of the wings and how does it not dent inward????

[@MrRexquando]

Remember the jack points or lift rings on the top are not randomly positioned on the wing-skin. They will be at the strongest part of the wing structure or wing-box. An intersection of several structural members (ribs/spars) and in this case the same structure they keeps the engines attached. Same with your car. You can only safely lift it where the body sections are doubled up in the same place (split frame). If you tried to lift your car from the floor pans the jack would bend them in.

[@OvoJeGovno]

To add a bit more to the good explanation above me, these jack locations were designed for this. The mechanics aren't just choosing what they believe is the strongest part of the wing; these attachment points were put there by the engineers for this exact purpose and they were designed to easily handle the weight.

[@petercarroll5874]

I can see absolutely no reason for checking NORMAL gear retraction and extension. It gets checked, fully, every time the aircraft flies. I assume the A380, like all other aircraft with retractable landing gear, has an emergency extension. This is all that needs checking as it is never used in normal operations.

[@singleproppilot]

Depends on what they have been working on. They might have replaced all the landing gear on that maintenance visit, which would require a full swing using both the normal and emergency systems.
