In my book anyone that builds an aircraft that can only land on just a handfull of airports around the world ain't too brilliant.
Aloha,


Going back to post #263:-

Not an entirely sensible statement, - I seem to remember someone in 1969 saying exactly the same thing, (referring to the Boeing 747,) but as we all know, it still went ahead successfully!

Any airplane can do that type of flying at empty weight or minimal weight.
Was on a Dash8-400 during a demo flight over Augsburg, Germany a few years back and it was a blast to ride in as the Pilot did a fly-by over the field.
Was also at Farnbourgh the same year watching the air show from show center on the parking ramp for the airplanes that were flying during the show or after.
Talk about a great time setting there watching the airplanes fly right over your head. It was a rush that I will never forget.

Status: offline 		well with the way gas prices are going here in states. I think they'll be parking the airbuses and rolling out gliders and 152's cuz that big tin can cannot be cheap to fill. LOL what ever happened to that main gear issue on the 380? it couldnt take tight turns because the main gear isnt articulated like the 777 and tires were rolling off the rim. I'm not sarting stuff just don't remember hearing the solution. Oh and as for size AN225 got us all beat. Built in 1988 no one has made anything bigger or that can lift more. 640 tons
p.s they dont call em scare bus for nothing,...sorry.

I am sorry but you have been misinformed. The main body gear is steerable. Airbus performed tests with the bogies locked, and the aircraft behaved as expected.

The project began as the Future International Military Airlifter (FIMA) group, set up in 1982 by Aerospatiale, British Aerospace, Lockheed, and MBB to develop a replacement for the C-130 Hercules and C-160 Transall.

Who did state that ?

By the way, Aerospatiale (which lately became EADS with a merger with German companies) is French.
