Apologies for digging up an old thread, but I have a question regarding the rudder on the A380 and, upon searching, this was the closest thread topic.
A day or two ago I was bussed from a remote stand at Dubai past more A380s than you could shake a stick at, and noticed that when parked, they all have one part of the split rudder in the same offset position - is this a default position for safety or something to do with the hydraulics?
As a supplementary question, how many gazillion dollars worth of Emirates aircraft are on the ground at DXB on any given morning??
