Airbus unveils 'superjumbo' jet

Intbel · 18-01-2005, 01:12 PM

The world's largest passenger plane,
the Airbus A380, has been unveiled in an elaborate
ceremony in France.

The Airbus A380 is set to make its
maiden test flight in April

You wouldn't wanna be on it's maiden flight.

Mind it would be a tad unfortunate to hit an iceberg up there!

Not if it's "plane sailing" :roll: :roll:

Please please please glue Kate Winslet to the nose on it's maiden flight!

At least the concorde looked like something which would fly.

This looks like a beached dolphin.

As the caterpillar said, over the garden fence to her neighbour as a butterfly flew past: "You'll never get me up in one of those."

The plane is probably fine, but it should be with all the subs it has had.

The way Blair and the other EU lovers were trying to make out this was some great success for the EU, was pathetic.

If people think big governement bank-rolling big corporate interests, to try and get one up on America is good, then I guess the Soviet Union was a good model after all. :roll:

I hope the plane does work out fine. I just hope its maiden flight carries no passengers and is remotely controlled. For some reason I have a bad feeling about it which is why I edited the pic.

Europe has the longest bridge in the world, the biggest plane in the world and will soon have a president with the biggest ego in the world.

Does Europe's hat-trick beat America's hole-in one?

Plenty of British jobs are assured if it is successful, can only be a good thing, it's EU controlled which can only be bad. I am not bothered about European as opposed to EU.

I agree, but the polititians are trying to make out this is some great acheivement of the EU.

The EU was surplus to requirements!
