A380 question
Hi - quick question:
Why is it that this initial Mk of the A380 is shorter than current aircraft models such as the 773 and the A346? OK - it's easier to stretch a plane as opposed to shrinking it a la the A318, but why not just start off with something a little longer in the first place [and to keep Tim Clark and co happy] ?
It's pretty noticeable in this picture - see link

When the A380 was at the DXB last week, it really doesn't look that big an aircraft at the moment, was expecting much larger!
Cheers
