Yes, you have done. Thank you!
Do you have the Vref (adverage) for the a380?

the point I was making is that I will probably avoid to fly in an airplane where save weight economics are like using a thinner wire to suspend a blade over my head.
5000 psi (like the Concorde, and the B787 after all) in order to carry less fluid and using thinner pipes is a technical achievement that I wonder is really needed because the airplan is too fat to be safe.

As pasenger instead I am looking foward to fly on the B787 where more Safety/attention to passengers than "size" in term of advanced technlogy and enviroment enhancement for the "customer" is at least has been advertised.
