Airfares Comparison - What is so Great About the Airbus A-380 it is Only 9 Feet Longer Than The Boeing 747


So why is everyone so impressed, built 40 years ago by The Boeing Company, but it is exactly only 9-feet longer than the 747, it is the biggest airliner, yes? That I have ever seen or heard, well if that is not the biggest loaf. The French are touting their Airbus Aircraft as the greatest aviation innovation since sliced bread.

Whoopy Doo? You got a picture next to a big plane, wow? A person stands next to the plane and the entire background is an aircraft and the person looks like an ant? With photo-ops and all, sure enough that is exactly what they did. Alright then lets have a big party in Dubai? It is amazing that the Air Bus Company has spent almost as much in PR as they did designing this monstrosity.

Well lets not even go there, and as far as the price tag. You now have to deal with a 50-foot longer wingspan and a vertical stabilizer of 16 feet higher and you do not even want to know how much more fuel the gas guzzler uses, and yet for this extra nine-feet. Nice one, including that extension on the tail cone, and yes it is 9-feet longer!

But only time will tell which, this Airbus A-380 is either the biggest Air Bus or the biggest joke. One that can actually fit into most modern day airports, talent and class you will be much wiser in a Boeing Aircraft, but if you are a man of intellect. Then go for it, dismissing their values and heritage with egos to match the size of this aircraft, if you want to waste your money on one and look like a decadent Arab Prince.
