A380-How Safe

[ZKTOM]

Was just wondering what others thought of the A380 in terms of safety.

[Zöltuger]

I see you're member number 380 too

Whilst it does look like it shouldn't fly, it's probably one of the safest aircraft ever built- same thing was probably said when the 747 was first released. Airbus have no incentive to create a deadly aircraft. But if one were to crash within the first year or two, no airline or passenger will have confidence in it => boycotts and Airbus will go out of business.

As airbus is so so so far behind it production time, they have more hours to spend improving it technically and hopefully will fix any bugs they come across.

Doesn't mean its gana be popular thow.. its prety impresive and don't think airbus woudl build a "death trap", there other aircraft are safe, otherwise they woudln't still be making em. but we will find out

[FlyingKiwi]

It'll be just as safe as current production airliners, perhaps a little more but definitely not less.

A plane is only as safe as the person who is driving it.

Or in airbus's case; the computer driving it

AIRBUS ... my first flight in one in all my travels ! Last week ... 2 hours down ... not a good START! .....GOING with BOEING

[ZKTOM]

IF IT AIN"T BOEING IT AIN"T GOING!!

[Mattnz]

With the amount of time they've spent "fixing" it, it'd better be good

Clippy: It appears you are trying to fly a plane... would you like help?




Don't think I'd want a BSOD at 35000'
