The a3xx

MissedApproach · February 12th, 2003, 09:54

maybe some day...

...think they'll ever make a prototype?

ready2fly · February 12th, 2003, 09:56

Of the six white boxes with x's in them that you posted???? I hope not.

MissedApproach · February 12th, 2003, 10:01

I tried it on a different comp and it worked fine

ready2fly · February 12th, 2003, 10:09

Hmmmm - curious. I'll reboot in a little while and try it again.

mikek123 · February 12th, 2003, 10:12

I'm just seeing boxes with red x's too.

drumminpilot · February 12th, 2003, 10:13

me too...

blee256 · February 12th, 2003, 10:17

Are they supposed to be pics of the a380? All I see are white hboxes as well.

mtsu_av8er · February 12th, 2003, 10:22

It's kind of strange looking...I suppose it could fly but one would think that the flat edges would cause too much drag....and the "X" design is horrible!!!

CaliforniaSurfer · February 12th, 2003, 10:41

no pics for me, just white boxes with red x's

Webshots won't let you post individual pictures, you need to link to the actual book itself.

Discovery Wings had a show on this. They are spending billions. It's a monster.

Sigh - rebooted and no dice. I'll have to do some internet research.

A300Capt · February 12th, 2003, 12:11

Work around solution:

"Right-click" on the square with the red "x" you want to view. Go to "Properties" and highlight the web address. Copy/paste it to your web browser and it'll take you to the website.

ready2fly · February 12th, 2003, 12:30

Ahhhh - bling bling!! Thanks Capt.!! That worked beautifully. Not only was I able to view the pics, when I hit my "back" button - they were now on the web site.

Cool plane. Looks BIG!! Doubtful we'll see anything like it any time soon. Not with the industry the way it is.

PurduePilot · February 12th, 2003, 12:44

The plane we're talking about is known as the "A380." It is currently very far along in its design and building phases. I believe the test flight of this monster is 2005.

Airbus has a long list of launch customers for this airplane.

I am doubtful that any US based air carriers will want to buy this. United is shedding their 747s and some 777s for smaller more economical aircraft.

MissedApproach · February 12th, 2003, 13:18

yeah, sorry about that

that's because now they're in your browers history. That's why missed approach saw them all. A lot of websites won't allow outside linking of their files/pictures.

ready2fly · February 12th, 2003, 13:19

Aaaaaaaand - now they're gone.

blee256 · February 12th, 2003, 13:46

I hear FedEx is going to be the launch customer for the A380F. They expect to recieve it in 2008. airbus 380

Biut yeah, I dont think there is a market for an airplane that size in the US. Especially with the state of the industry is in right now. I heard Boening feels the same way, so they arent even trying to make an a/c of that magnitude. However I did hear that Boeing was going to come up with a sonic jet that flies 20% faster or something.

-Brian

FLYMcDoofer · February 12th, 2003, 13:57

Boeing scraped the sonic cruiser. They just introduced the 7E7...not sure what its really all about but looks like a smaller 777. Anyone knows more please comment.

pavelump · February 12th, 2003, 15:02

I wonder why they don't produce an RJ size aircraft?

Isn't the BBJ (Boeing Business Jet) comparable in size to an RJ?

I wonder if they could configure that for airline use?
