Does that really matter? I'm approaching a million airmiles flown and can honestly say that the Concorde trip from Heathrow to JFK was the single most exhilarating flight I've ever boarded. Everything else seems so ordinary. sage & onion

On that I would agree, I made that same flight in 1987 and it was out of this world. Chocoholic I would have loved to have flown on concord, there will never be another aircraft like it, and taking it out of service has put the air industry back decades. Such a shame. rudeboy

er the A380 is made by Airbus, not Boeing! And the make of aircraft doesn't have much say in the ticket price of a flight!
women always get touchy about lil things :D.
some ppl think that flying on the A380 is expensive when it isnt. the ticket prices are roughly the same if you were flying on boeing 747 or 777 or even on the other airbuses. xdude Concorde was an environmental disaster.. even though it was a majestic plane.. n a major noise pollution contributor.. ask the londonnites staying on its approach path.. rudeboy

what noise :S its noise comes after the plane :D Chocoholic Well the aircraft doesn't really matter. What matters is it's capability to fly the specified route. rudeboy

True actually! Concord was only allowed to fly specific routes, because of the noise it made!
My Dad used to schedule it's routes from London, so he'd know! Neh!

This is absolutely true, in relation to the areas where it was allowed to go supersonic. Chocoholic Which is why they were mostly transatlantic flights. Concorde was forced to decelerate and fly subsonically at Mach 0.95 between over land routes to avoid noise abatement laws. Miss_lolly

This plane was recently delivered to Emirates, straight off the Airbus production line. zzzane It can't be the most recent plane delivered to EK since that's flying the DXB-LHR, LHR-DXB and DXB-JFK route. At the moment, it's at JFK. This was the last EK plane (reg # A6-EDD) delivered by Airbus on 12/30/08:

i wouldnt say that. before the A380 there were some huge cargo planes. not sure if they still used today. They were so huge you could fit a small private jet plane into them. zzzane

Well, the Airbus Beluga whale transporter is still used for carrying bits and pieces of the A380 to the main factory where its assembled:
The largest cargo plane, the Antonov AN225 is still in service:

yep thats the one. but these guys came way before the A380, so technically speaking A380 is nt the big cat. its probably the big cheese :D but not the big cat :D sage & onion Was anyone trying to say it was the biggest?, the answer is no, it is just a fantastic plane is all. rudeboy

yeh thats what i mean its the big cheese :D Chocoholic No, but it is the biggest passenger plane! Requires lots more electronics and gadgets than cargo planes do. Some A380 configurations include a bar, showers, lounges etc etc. Lots of gizmos. RobbyG Concorde was way ahead of its time. The combination of high oil prices and some debri made the end of its prestige... It remains a marvel. As for Airbus...what a plane that A380. I've seen it fly in 2005 during work at the Paris Airshow and again in 2007. They put in a 'disc' with remapped flight envelope data and the testpilot does things with it. Beyond normal passenger experience. Ultimate boundaries of A380 flight envelope. Really at the limits of the aircraft's capabilities. One word...awesome. Hope I get the career @ ExecuJet I applied for. I'm hungry for business jets this time!!! ;) sage & onion It's just majestic
