It's not about that, if you have worked with both sides' engineers. You will find the European engineers and the US engineers have different traits and you will want to sit in Airbus😁 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old-driver 5th Gear October 5, 2021 Share October 5, 2021 I'm gonna miss this grand dame. I'll always try to book a flight on the A380 if there is one serving the route I'm taking. Unparalleled smooth take-off and landing, almost non-existent turbulence, not to mention the quietness of the cabin. Ironically the only class i've not tried was premium economy but their economy class was very comfy and more spacious than other planes. Sad to see it go. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xers007 Supercharged October 5, 2021 Share October 5, 2021 (edited) All is not lost. There are still a few parked in Alice spring waiting to be put back into svc after Covid. I believe some busy routes will still be operated by these wonders. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/sia-recalls-an-airbus-a-380-from-alice-springs-as-it-goes-ahead-with Edited October 5, 2021 by Xers007 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosaria Turbocharged October 6, 2021 Share October 6, 2021 (edited) 17 hours ago, Macrosszero said: Can chop and make an A380SP or not? Maybe ask your MIL, she is probably quite good at chopping. The 747SP was a special limited edition model built specifically for the needs of ....... Iranian airlines. In those days before the ayatollah, Iran was a west-leaning country under the dictatorial shah. So not surprisingly, they shopped at Boeing. They needed an aircraft that could handle "hot and high" airports such as those in Iran (high temperature, high altitude = low air density, less lift). The solution was this shortened 747 that could handle the demanding operating conditions, at the sacrifice of payload (but the routes it needed to fly did not have such a high passenger load anyway). I believe South Africa airlines operated this type also (Johannesburg is a high-altitude airport). A very unique aircraft from the not-so-recent past! There were also weird 747 variations like the "Classic" that was built to carry a 5th engine pod. Also the "Combi" version with a cabin that could quickly convert from full pax version to half-pax, half-cargo version.
