And that is sort of the problem - it was 10-15 years too late for the market, and 10-15 years too early for the technology. At the point it came into service carbon fibre airframes were a long way into development, and more advanced Integrated Modular Avionic systems were getting less complicated, i.e. lighter, than the 380s CPIOMs etc. I really like it as a passenger and Licensed Engineer - their lack of current activity has probably cost me my current job. For me, I think if there is ever going to be an aircraft of this size again it will be a carbon fibre twin with a bit more freight volume available..
