F-WWDD (cn 004) Apart from coming to Singapore to participate and display at Asian Aerospace, the A380 also performed a series of compatability tests with the gates and ground equipment. Seen here at Gate E5 performing such tests, with plenty of ground crew to judge the "performance". And how about that catering truck that can reach the upper deck! [Nikon D200]

It uses less fuel than the 20 year old design of the 747-400 however the new revolutionary 747-8 will use a lot less fuel than the a380 and carry only 50-100 less.

A visitor from United States posted Sat June 13, 2009:
Love this airline. Love those huge engine nacelles. The wings on this beast are elegant. The odd shape of the fuselage though...that's something only an airbus fan could love :)

Great shot and Bird !

'Ok boys, we have 10 minutes to turn this a/c around! We need every ground handler and cleaner we can get!'
Great image, really gives you a good comparison and scale of the A380.

Beautiful plane, carries more passengers than a 747 and still uses less fuel!! what a wonder!! great pic

A lot of people ... majestic bird

A visitor from Germany posted Wed October 15, 2008:
This is one of the nicest A380 pictures! Especially that catering truck on second deck! Very nice. Presumably that catering company thought of servicing the upper-deck more efficiently!

A visitor from Malta posted Sat August 30, 2008:
It shows how huge this thing is. People look like ants next to it.

A visitor from Mauritius posted Fri July 11, 2008:
It's very nice but the boeing 777 will stay the best and the nicest bird flying in tthi planet

A visitor from United Arab Emirates posted Mon April 14, 2008:
I have to admit that she is the most majestic bird on the planet, but not the most beautiful. The boeing 757 will always be the hottest plane ever to be designed. Its fuselage is curved in such way, and no other planes of my knowledge are like that. Grteat shot

A visitor from - posted Sat April 5, 2008:
Fine shot of the ground test! Nobody will be able to get a shot like this in Seattle when it happens. But what happens when two of these beasts arrive in America from Tokyo and London at the same time? A thousand people through Customs all at once?
Boeing and Airbus had quite a poker game in the early 1990s about this plane. Boeing folded; wisely, I think, given the 787 we came up with in response. Airbus hasn

Stunning and powerfull view, but I'm still thinking It's uglier than 747..

A visitor from Australia posted Mon August 20, 2007:
Thats wat we would consider a nice day in singapore, and i agree a picture of this next a 744 would be great

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu July 5, 2007:
Fantastic plane bet u.s whish they had built this beauty

A visitor from Canada posted Sun March 18, 2007:
Can't wait for the first pics of this bird when she flies into CYUL. ++ Love seeing technology at work around it. Something slightly uncomfortable and awe inspiring about that catering truck.

A visitor from Indonesia posted Thu December 7, 2006:
The big plane,the fabulous shape.excellent view of the photo.

A visitor from United States posted Sat September 30, 2006:
The a380 at the gate looks amazing. very ugly plane though.b777,787,747, 757 look far better. good shot, though!

A visitor from Uruguay posted Mon September 18, 2006:
So it doesn't look as big as a 747??? well let me remind you: IT IS bigger than a 747

A visitor from United States posted Sat May 27, 2006:
AWSOME

A visitor from Singapore posted Fri May 26, 2006:

My father used to fly for klm, i have found this plane to be of the most superior of all, looks and comfort are mostly reconised first, and the techinal engering is superb.
i wish you all safe and happy flying time on beard her,

A visitor from Canada posted Tue May 16, 2006:
Great photo of such an incredible jumbo. Maybe it's just me, but it still doesn't look all that huge compared to a 747.

A visitor from United States posted Tue May 16, 2006:
Nice picture of this a380 bird......but b777 and b747 is still the mightiest bird in the industry

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat May 6, 2006:
No matter how i look and how many times i look at it, it still doesn't look bigger thank a boeng 747

A visitor from - posted Fri May 5, 2006:
Wow!!!!!! i hade never seen anything like it before. Only if an american airline could fly opne of those. great shoot by the way.

A visitor from United States posted Wed April 19, 2006:
I have seen some big planes, but this one boggles my mind. building something this big that will actually fly...amazing!! Hub Hubbard, Tucson AZ

Nice picture dude! keep it good.. i hope phillipine airlines have that one soon..

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue March 28, 2006:
I cant wait to see this in service flying into heathrow. Does anyone know if any other major british airline besides virgin will aquire this beautiful bird? lovely shot well done can truly get an idea of what to expect now if i ever get the chance to fly on one!

A visitor from Portugal posted Mon March 20, 2006:
What if Airbus builds a 3 decker passenger aircraft? Will there be a catering truck to go up there? I wanna see that! :)

A visitor from Singapore posted Mon March 20, 2006:
Are those people midgets or is that plane HUGE ? It will be great if someone got a shot of these giant parked beside a 747 for size comparison.

A visitor from Korea, Republic Of posted Mon March 20, 2006:

I'm just wonder when this huge monster gets the real hard work!

A visitor from Indonesia posted Mon March 20, 2006:
Like ussual.......... I like it.... Give me an insight how an A380 will be handled in the future.........

A visitor from United States posted Sun March 19, 2006:
That is unbelieve about catering truck made higher on the upper deck. I am still can't believe it for first testing on catering truck. Does catering will able unloading or loading the carts? Great Shot, Andrew! :)

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun March 19, 2006:
Hi Andrew, this pic of yours is just great, thanks for sharing it with us all. We all wonder what the A380 will look like when we see it in full operationable service and your pic has helped us see that. It's a great pic, excellently composed. As for the Yank commenting that "It's a shame that the weather wasent good as this photo would look better." Well you know and the rest of us know that the cloudy sky gives it a dramatic back drop, so it is spot on!!!!! All the best from Ady :)

A visitor from Greece posted Sun March 19, 2006:
I read an article in a greek newspaper that the tests arent going as well as Airbus intended! Supposingly they have a major problem with the flexibility of the wings. The article said that the A380 approval may be delayed a year !!!

A visitor from Germany posted Sun March 19, 2006:
