SYD-YVR is longer than LAX-HKG
yes and with maybe 50 people on board it is an impressive demonstration of the machines capabilities.......................
and actually the information posted is 100% accurate and from the data presented to Cathay in order to try and convince them to buy the 380.................so I would say it comes from the flight test data, yes !!!
and 17% less fuel burn than the 747-800......................who's that gem from Hans Christian Eads ???
I will state once more for the record, "The A380 is a heap of crap""
