Hey Mysalami , sorry i have to disagree with the comment of it is kinder to runways, taxiways etc becuase of it extra wheels ...dont know if you looked at any photo's circulating of the landing gear that was being dragged when it was taxied due to no main body steering like the 747's have...sorry i think this might tend to rip up the taxiways due to the amount of weight that is going to be alot more on these a380 compared to current common high capacity aeros
