What is the problem with A380??weight??aero dynamic??

Question

can someone plz do explain to me what are the problem face by A380...

Answer 1

Politics. It's builtt in 4 different countries, and the governments of each different country have only their interests in mind. This leads to infighting and the project is now several months behind schedule.

Answer 2

I think it is the wirings

Well personally, I think its a great plane. Being that a lot of my friends dadsThe main problem with the A380 is that a French company designed it. Something also tells me that there is no way that I can have the structural support of a 747. A 747 could do loop-the-loops if they really wanted to are pilots.So I dont think there are too many flawsWeight is part of it, but so is the fact that the plane has two stories. This not only requires heavier, longer runways, but two-story gate facilities that can allow passengers to board and deplane both stories at the same time. As a result the A380 will only have niche appeal among the world's largest airport hubs that serve many passengers. Airbus is worried that it may have misread the market, especially as orders for the more fuel-efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliner take off. If airlines can fill the A380 to capacity, though, the A380 technically uses less fuel per passenger-mile. But it's a question of how many airports will pay to upgrade their facilities to be able to take advantage of the A380's immense size. It's almost a replay of the noise problem that faced the Concorde during the life of its service.

P.S. Airbus is not French per se; it is jointly French, German and Spanish owned through the European aerospace consortium EADS.

weight or wings i think

Answer 4

Actually, it's many things, - I'm a pilot with Singapore Airlines, - just had a briefing on the A380. It is incorrect to say it needs longer runways, infact it can happily land on B747 length runways, and as for the weight it has the same PCN/ACN as the 747. The only problem with this part is the wingtip clearance, - it needs 60 metres width, most airports provide around 45 metres for wingtip clearance. As for the aerodynamic part, the wings failed static testing, so have to be strengthened. Engine wise, it has fallen short in fuel consumption, however i believe airbus will pay the difference in cash to their customers. And final point, due to "production problems" Singapore Airlines will only get 1 this year, supposedly in December, which is already later than planned.

Answer 5

Purely schedule: With Components being made at various aerospace companies over the world and first article inspections being carried out on these components to ensure safety before they can go into full production of these particular components. The main structure is designed and manufactured in France and schedules have to be put in place by airbus as to the arrange for the arrival of these products from the aerospace companies so they can be fitted to the main frame when needed , sometimes this can take time due to changes in specifications and engineering orders to ensure the components are completed in the required manner. There is nothing wrong with the A380 its simply running late as do new designs at Boeing.

Answer 7

I believe you are refering to the lateness of delivery and the decision to withhold delivery for most customers for a further 12 months?

Basically they are having serious issues with the wiring that is used for the In-Flight entertainment systems - and believe me you dont want them to rush this. Swiss Air did not anticipate that the wiring could cause an aircraft to 'fall out of the sky' but because of incorrect nstallation and not allowing enough cooling and not having it disconected at the Cabin Bus switch...the flight went down.

Airbus will have to compensate the airlines as stated in their contracts...QANTAS will be paid off, Singapore reacted this week by ordering 1.6 billion dollars worth of planes from boeing over the A350 (Not A380) in retaliation for late delivery....

Answer 8

What ever the problem with the A380 is my brother who flies
Qantas to Australia every summer, doesn't trust it at all. He will prefer to fly on the good ol 747 model from Boeing.

Answer 9

There is a problem in the electrical wirings. Too much wiring causes problems with redundancy, i.e. the more the wires ,more panels are to be dedicated for a no. of similar tasks during take-off and landings, which makes it very complex...which a designer tries to avoid.

Answer 10

Mainly to get out and start being used more, is the wiring. - But the main problems that it's causing is the massiviness of it.. The wings, weight which is causing airports to make runways wider, and longer, terminals with more room and taxiways that have more spacing b/w the Runway and taxiway due to the wings.
