You mention that UL370 says 380 may be 20% to heavy, UL370 may well be correct, the information I hear is Airbus would like at least 20% weight reduction or make it 20% bigger with same weight.
.
You must admit, she looks very heavy in all the pictures posted.
.
I think the 380 is just a little ahead of its time, the Concorde was way ahead of its time, the 380 will be interesting over the next few years.
.
Looks like the 787 will get his timing just about right.
