a380 operating environment

A further issue has been discussed concerning the operations of the A380.The theory as to this failure although not established could also be caused by ingestion on takeoff under certain conditions.Remember the Air France Concorde accident? Debris left on the runway by other aircraft? Due to the large size of this aircraft and the immense power of the Trent. Air ingested is sucked in from a larger area in front of the A380 including off runway areas on narrow runways not experienced by other aircraft types.Proximity to the ground with such power may produce a higher risk curve for ingestion or delayed ingestion failure than other aircraft types?
