Holy Cow!!!!

I can't believe the size of the new 'bus. I didn't realize from the drawings that it would be round, it always looked kinda ovoid. Those windows on the second deck (top) are cool, they seem to point up not straight out. I also thought the second deck would be taller, more like the first. Well, shows you what I know!

A seriously question: Are they sure that plane will fly? I mean, there is no chance of a bad experience in it´s first flight?

Bongo,

Have you ever heard of a major civil airplane that was designed and then built, only for the company to find out that it just 'didn't fly'? There is absolutely no reason at all why this plane wouldn't fly. If you're afraid it's too big, look at the An-225. That's even bigger, and it flies just fine.

Those are some seriously cool pics. Very exciting to see it coming together, I cant wait to see it fly. There sure looks like there is gonna be a lot of space on the main deck, not as much as i thought there would be on the upper deck, but it sure doesn't look like its gonna be cramped.

Very exciting times with this and the 7E7 coming in shortly after

Chrisdigo,

How you thought know that about of A380 will go on the show in 2005? Who did ever told you about of those show? I can't wait to see with A380 is flying out for next few years later. It is very wonderful to see A380 are working on it with the body. Which one is the next phase of A380 now? Thanks!  Smile

Wow! Those are amazing! Thanks!!  Big thumbs up

Now I can't wait for pics of more than just a fuselage plug.  Wink/being sarcastic

Still, very interesting. The upper deck windows don't look straight out, they have a view upward. Which means flying in the upper deck may give you better views of the sky as you fly.

Also looks a bit cramped on the upper deck, compared with the main deck.

I hope this first plane finds it's way into a museum once it's useful life as an airliner ends.
