      So what is wrong?? the concorde was an amazing plane, the world's fastest that had nowhere to go,the french and british were sure that everyone in the future would be flying supersonic but failed to realize the enormous backlash from the people because of the sonic booms all the countries had to put up with.Also cutting a few hours off the transatlantic route wasn't worth the enormous cost of running the plane.The a380 is the same, the moment I saw it I said this plane would go nowhere, it's far too big and far too ugly, looks matter in any product.

      I dont think it is a commercial failure. Even if the program made a loss, it was a lot of advertisement for Airbus, having the biggest Airliner out there. And there are quite a few of those out there. Emirates has 123, Singapore Airlines 24, Air France, Korena Air, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways each have 10... the list goes on.
      I think 240 of those plane in commercial use is an achievement considering how big and pricey it is.

    just to compare, A380 is ALWAYS the most stable/ pleasant plane I ever flew. it might be the weather but I barely experience turbulence whenever I fly in this monster, while the other planes will be shaking from time to time or sometimes nonstop ( I flew from Paris to KL with A380 and it was as smooth as a train; when i flew back it was a A330 and shaking the entire flight...and many other of my flights as well). for me everything about A380 is amazing. it is just absolutely a jewelry on the crown of modern passenger plane engineering. so sad to know it would stop being produced...

      You are right, at the time, much larger planes made sense to clear the sky because of many congested airports and this became technically possible with the high by-pass ratio large engines developped as you said for a strategic military transport deal won by the C5 Galaxy. In fact, the Jumbo elevated cockpit was choosen because cargo sales were expected to outsell passagers versions.

    Globalism was promising a great future in the '90s. I think, Europeans were anticipating an uplift in per capita income especially for China and India (over 3 billion people in total). That would trigger a sizable increase in Intercontinental Travel which A380 is built for. That would require dozens of A380s in service, which did not realize.
    Another factor, security measures imposed by the US has destroyed the airlines, air travel became a torture. Tighter visa requirements also added to reduction in number of passengers in Intercontinental Travel.
    A380 is a technological marvel and will come back in an Improved more efficient version.

    Very good video, may I add some facts. First when Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, and Airbus decided to launch their own VLA ( very Large Aircraft ) they at first thought a joint effort would be the way to go with all three manufacturers working on just one aircraft. This was at the end of the 1980's. Boeing and McDonnell Douglas soon discovered there was no great market for this VLA. If I remember correctly Boeing a market for around 300 /400 aircraft. McDonnell Douglas saw a market for around the same number. Where as Airbus saw a market for around 1,000. With these lower numbers both the American companies pulled out the programme. Boeing warned Airbus it was barking up the wrong tree. Airbus decided it was right and started developing the A-3XX They stated very clearly they would need to sell 400 aircraft just to break even. Now at this point let me say as a life long aircraft technician I have no doubt the A-380 was / is an engineering marvel, but so was Concorde. Both were fantastic engineering achievements, but the airlines do not buy on engineering achievements along, they what aircraft that one make a profit, and two make economical sense. In that department sadly both the A-380 and the Concorde were failures. The Airbus A-380 has recorded not 1,000 sales but only 321, of which many have been cancelled and so far only 239 have been delivered. And of that number 111 are in service with Emirates. If Emirates had not bought the A-380, or bought far less the aircraft would have been not just a commercial failure but a total failure.
    Do you think Emirate bought these 111 aircraft at list price ? If you do I would guess you have never worked in the air line business. He is now retired like myself but I have a good friend who held is senior position at Airbus. He assured me Emirate got their A-380 almost at cost price, because they were the company who was keeping the 380 afloat. Selling to Emirate it would not have taken 400 aircraft to break ever. Even if they had sold 1,000 Airbus would still not have made a profit.

    I flew the A380 the first time with British Airways from SFO to LHR. I didn't feel any turbulence. Was it because I got lucky on the way there, or the size or the plane was a factor?

    I remember the first time I saw an A370 too. It was at 35,000ft through binocular & there was no mistaking it for any other aircraft.
    As for an engineering marvel, it is BIG. But that may be the problem. Its only economic advantage is the reduction of flight crew, assuming a double crew is not needed on a long haul flight; and, purchase price for so many passenger seats.
    Can't say as I remember Boeing with great plans to continue development of the B-747, I believe their projections did not show a great demand for extra large passenger aircraft.
    Kind of show how difficult it is to forecast economic conditions.

    As I understand it, the A380 was designed with the idea that airports would reconfigure to load and unload passengers through two jetways simultaneously. I don't think this happened in many places, so getting on and off a full A380 can be a lengthy process, not to mention the overload on airport security, customs and immigration facilities. So, it wasn't just unpopular with airlines, but probably passengers, too.

    I've flown on ANA's A380 from Tokyo to Honolulu recently. Great onboard experience, terrible ground experience. Flying with over 500 people on the same flight means that you'll have to fall in line with those same 500 people once you get processed for customs and immigration. Waiting for your bags is another problem too. Of course, I know that the speed of immigration processing largely depends on the specific country and airport, but the numbers don't lie. More people to board, more people to deplane, more people to process at the same time.

    I fail to see why so many people consider this a failure... hundreds were made for over a decade, beating the 747 during that time, we'll continue to see them flying for at least a decade more and most importantly none of them crashed. It might have had a loss of around $10bn over a span of 20 years, however when it comes to large commercial jet manufacturing, strategic investments make a lot of sense: this brought a lot of credibility to Airbus and lessons learned made the A350 program a lot smoother.
