Greetings

I found this time lapse video of a A380 being built, worth a view if this sort of thing 'floats your boat'.

Mark.

Hello,

WowÉ.. What a plane! This has answered lots of questions I have always wondered about!!

I did not know the wings were connected to each other

it looks like an edited version of a show I just saw on national geographic.

Now just a silly question,why not have windows across the front of the top deck,they could sell those seats for just about anything they wanted.

I couldn't help laughing when they put the forward section on - with the big red nose, it looked for all the world like Mr Blobby.

The wings are not connected to eachother,they connect through the wing box,what you were looking at was the tail elevator.

Now that is a cool idea... Are Airbus missing a trick there? I enjoy certain cross channel ferries that have foward facing windows, particularly in a storm! So I'd love to grab the front window seats if they existed.

Oooh - liking the windows in the front idea.

(But then, I'm up for seats on the wing, too.. [:I])
