 this is for statistical purposes only.! Hello Does anyone know the total parts count for the A380? According to an unattributed internet report, it showed only 1,000,000 parts. To my way of thinking, that number is a little low. By comparison, the 747-400 has a total of 6,000,000 parts. This number comes from the Boeing web page on the 747. Taking into consideration the A380 uses far fewer rivets and the wings are almost 1 piece, I can see how you could eliminate a few million parts. I have looked on the Airbus A380 family web page but did not see a parts count. I would just appreciate finding out what the real parts count is. Thanks ...

 Airbus A380 is the world's largest airliner, but why it has less payload capacity compare to B777-300. A380 has 38 LD3 containers while B777-300 has about 43. Don't you think that Passengers in A380 have to fly with much less payload than in other aircrafts? ...

 most ppl know, more airplane engines= more fuel and emmisions, and the a380 is using 4, and the 777 is only using 2, dont you think the a380 should of been fitted with 3 (85,000 thrust) or 2(200,000 thrust) engines to reduce emissions and save earth? cuz i want to die before the world ends(forget everyone eles, care about your self.! oh and im just saying, cuz would you have the chances of being in a big plane and dieing cuz of a tail seaperation or rather take the risk of being on one of the 2 planes and one of them will blow up? oh... damm, i was trying to ask,witch one will be better, 747-8 vs a380 and 777-300ER vs (A###(idk))? ...

 Does anybody know anything about the Airbus A380 going to JFK International Airport in New York City? It says in the amNewYork that it will be here on March 19th. Another A380 will land at LAX in Los Angeles on the same day. The two planes are scheduled to land around 9:00 AM Pacific Time (1:00 PM ET). Does anyone know where at JFK it will be yet? Like which runway, which terminal, etc? Also, which aircraft will it be? I'm a big Boeing fan, but I don't want to miss this opportunity. Thanks! The A380 is definitely going to JFK. JFK is a huge airport. The only other airports in the New York metro area are LGA, which is way too small to handle an A380, and Newark, which is in New Jersey. JFK can handle it. Does anybody know what TIME it will be arriving at JFK (in Eastern Time (ET))? Maybe what time I should arrive if I want to see it? I know it's gonna be crowded, but I want to try anyway. Does anyone know a good spot to see it from? ...

 A380........question? The Airbus A380 just landed at LAX. It looked like a smooth landing, but in my opinion it look way to big to be up in the air at all regardless of tests. It WAY to huge!! Why do they always want to push the limits and go "bigger," "More people." They want to start building Cruise ships bigger as well. Isnt it better just to stick with what is proven safe? Arent 747's plenty big and effeicient? I noticed someone commented on it's landing at LAX- your right, as it did sort of skid or something looked funny. ...

 BOEING: The 747-8 Intercontinental is more than 10 percent lighter per seat than the A380, and consumes 10 percent less fuel per passenger. AIRBUS: The A380 is the most economic ...... WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? ...

 Both Airbus and Boeing test their airplanes to absolute destruction. If you research press accounts do you think it broke too soon? , requireing major modifications to the A380?, or did it break when they wanted to break, ie to the design criteria? Big question, take your time. ...

 Hello all This post/question is in relation to a 2 hr. CNN documentary of the 10 year anniversary of the Flight 800 accident. It was wiring of the fuel level probe that was bundled together beside high-voltage cabin light wiring.  The high-voltage wiring caused a spark which ignited fuel fumes in the centre tank causing the jet to blow up. Another factor that didn't help, was the fact that the cabin air conditioning system on the original 1972 model 747 was placed right above the fuel tank with only a 3 inch clearance.  Does anyone know if they have been able to reduce the heat levels or change the location of the cabin air conditioning system in later models of the jet?  Are the wiring bundles for the fuel level probe and the high-voltage cabin light wiring still bundled together in the later models? Regarding the latest Airbus model A380, does anyone know if the wiring is set up the same as Boeing 747 older and possibly newer models?  Does anyone know if systems engineering at Airbus designed their fuel tanks to mitigate some of the ignition factors inside the fuel tank that the 747 has had in its service life? If anybody knows anything, I would be glad to hear from you. ...
