Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2003 11:00 pmBut it is coming. They're already building airports with the longer runways that will be required for it. I forget how long it needs, but it's a lot. I think Denver's new airport has a big enough runway.
Re: A380 build pictures...
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2003 7:41 amYup, the plane you see being built there is going to be used for testing, and will eventually go to Fed-Ex, at least that's what I'm hearing.
Most runways won't need to be lengthened, as the A380 will have better performance than the 747-400.
What will need to be changed is the parking areas. At KLAX for example, the parking areas are so small that when 2 744's are next to each other, clearance at the wingtips is just over 4 ft. That's why you must get positioned under a tug, and not your own power at LAX.
I have no idea what the airport are planning to do about this, I hope they can sort something out! LAX is a nice airport.....except for the snooty security guards, as I found out first hand....
