Grow up boys
The A380 is clearly a wonderful technological achievement and has many innovative improvements with regard to aircraft design and engineering.
And yes it is the biggest - so relax on that issue, anyone who is feeling a little insecure.
As regards the performance, I believe the figures are not particularly good. Still plenty of "ifs" and "whens"
Yes I have looked at the performance and in particular EK performances, loads etc. I'n not convinced.
Try some facts and figures that are more substantial than it "carries more" and "flys faster". I have heard better performance arguments from C152 pilots!
We are not going for speed records. Are we really going to fly it at 0.89? I'm sure I dont really have to explain the rest..
There are some good points on this thread too. I'll give it more thought.
