Airbus A380 near VERTICAL Take-off - Paris Air Show 2015
Earlier this month, Boeing released a practice run of the Boeing 787-9 doing a magnificent beautiful almost vertical takeoff. Now, Airbus has done the same maneuver, this time using a A380. Two military pilots entered the cockpit of the Airbus A380 once again and made an unbelieveable flying display during the Paris Air Show 2015. (www.youtube.com) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
That must be French for "near vertical."...man that thing is frumpy...
Not impressed... Geez... VERTICAL take off... No way.. A steep turn yes but nothing impressive here... The 787 Vertical was MUCH MUCH more impressive. Not sure who Airbus is trying to impressed, but it didn't work here.
Not anywhere near vertical.. From the head-on view, which gives the best impression of a steep climb, it still only looks about 30 or 40 degrees. Impressive, yes. Near vertical, no. Hyperbole much? Fun video, nonetheless!
Not even close to a vertical
Not even close to the 787 in my opinion. Would love to see a side view of both.
Near vertical? Looks like no more than 15°
