      of why are there ashtrays in the airbus a380?
      Why are there ashtrays in the Airbus A380?: The Airbus A380, which landed in London this week, is being sold as the aircraft of the future. Sam Leith, who was on board, was struck more by an odd reminder of the past.This brand-new cutting-edge plane has been constructed with built-in ashtrays – and, for that matter, wholly redundant, always-illuminated no-smoking signs. When I asked a spokesman for Singapore Airlines, he confessed that even the company's CEO had been baffled as to what they were doing there. The presence of ashtrays, he explained, is still – bizarrely – mandatory under one of the regulations of America's Federal Aviation Authority. If the A380 is the next step in the evolution of commercial travel, its ashtrays are its appendix; its coccyx; its vestigial tail.

      Mandala to go ahead with Airbus deal: CEO
      Indonesia's Mandala Airlines will push ahead with a deal to purchase 30 Airbuses despite a minister urging carriers here to boycott EU planes, the company's CEO said Friday. Transport Minister Jusman Syafii Djamal reportedly said Thursday that Indonesian carriers should not buy European aircraft so long as a ban on the nation's 51 airlines flying in EU airspace, introduced in July, remained in place. "The recommendation is obviously not going to affect our deal," Mandala CEO Warwick Brady told AFP."We have ordered 30 Airbuses and we have six on lease already, and are planning to lease six to eight per year until the order comes in. We have paid significant amounts in deposits to confirm our delivery," he said. Mandala announced the deal, which will see first orders arrive in 2011, in June, shortly ahead of the European Union's ban.Brady said he understood the furious Indonesian response and said he too believed the blanket ban should be reconsidered.

      Airbus to dump on or at least with the US
      In a thinly-veiled effort to exploit low-wage and low-cost countries as a production base in order to export their finished products back to more advanced economies at a much higher price, the people at Airbus are considering plans to build a final assembly plant in a place called Mobile, Alabama. The euro's seemingly unstoppable climb (or dollar’s fall, if you prefer) has put the Airbus mother ship EADS in a bit of a bind these days and has compelled it’s purebred European managers to actually (and even seriously) consider such a regrettable and thoroughly tasteless idea. According to one unconfirmed report, Airbus would only make such a move if it gets a US Air Force contract for refueling military aircraft (how yucky and distasteful is that?). If the Europeans win the contract, Airbus would then modify its A330 passenger jets to meet US military requirements (they have to be able to fly). Like, will the horror of this ever end or what?

Even more surprising is the fact the plane has 12 private suites complete with double beds! Talk about encouraging behaviour you want to ban! The reason they have given is that the suites are ‘not soundproof’ and so could ‘cause embarrassment’. Fair enough, but I don’t suspect it will stop some couples who just can’t risk taking it all off after take off.

      Tendencias: Airbus A380 y los espacios generosos
      Durante años, las aerolíneas ensayaron todo tipo de estrategias para lograr subir la mayor cantidad de pasajeros en el espacio limitado de un avión. Luego, la aparición de pasajeros con problemas de trombosis detuvo esa tendencia, y en muchos casos algunas empresas optaron por aumentar un poco el espacio disponible, incluso en las clases más económicas. Pero la llegada del Airbus A380, el avión comercial más grande del mundo, parece llevar aún más allá esta tendencia aún más allá. Originalmente, el Airbus A380 tenía capacidad para más de 800 pasajeros. Pero la primera aerolínea que tuvo este avión, Singapore Airlines, solamente habilitó 470 lugares. La mitad del espacio está dedicado a primera clase y business, con 73 lugares en total. Los precios en estas clases serán un 20% más caros que en otros aviones.

      will Airbus A380 being considered by US Air Force?!
      After Singapore Airlines - first to get Airbus A380 now there are some rumors that this Airbus A380 is being considered by the US Air Force (USAF) as a cargo freighter and as a large VIP transport in the Air Force One class. Apparently EADS answered to two separate inquiries by the USAF’s Air Mobility Command (AMC) about the A380, last summer. The first call was for the data about the A380F Freighter for potential use as a military air lifter. The company will probably make a presentation regarding the same in December to AMC officials. The move (on USAF’S part) may stem from the ongoing review of a potentially over-budget re-engining and reliability improvement programme for the Lockheed Martin C-5 fleet. USAF officials were not immediately available to comment. It is also believed that the AMC had also asked for data regarding three Airbus jets as part of a market survey for “VIP Large Aircraft Recapitalization.” They wanted info on the A380, A340-600 and A3

      Airbus A380 Delayed After Bump at Thai Airport
      An Airbus A380 demonstration flight in Bangkok operated by Airbus SAS and carrying 150 passengers was delayed for almost four hours today after the aircraft hit a building at the international airport.The plane, scheduled to depart at 9:45 a.m. local time from Suvarnabhumi airport in Bangkok to the northern city of Chiang Mai, took off at about 1:15 p.m. after engineers removed two winglets attached to the plane, Airbus spokesman Stefan Schaffrath said in Bangkok.The superjumbo jetliner arrived in Bangkok yesterday as part of an eight-day tour of Asian nations, including Hong Kong, Vietnam and South Korea. Airbus, the world's largest maker of commercial aircraft, won certification from European and U.S. authorities in July for the double-decker A380 model to fly into most of the world's major airports.``The aircraft can operate safely without the winglets,'' designed to help save fuel for long hauls, Schaffrath said by mobile telephone on the plane before its departure. ``The damag

      Mystery man buys double-decker airbus for private use.
      An unnamed buyer at the Paris air show has placed an order for an Airbus A380 superjumbo to use as a private jet..This is fucking madness. What's next? A private coal-fired power station? What is psychology behind this kind of behavior? Please explain it to me. I bet there is a cock related component.

      Airbus Duck
      ==========The HypnotistIt was opening night at the Orpheum and the Amazing Claude was topping the bill. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do his stuff.As Claude took to the stage, he announced, "Unlike most stage hypnotists who invite two or three people up onto the stage to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience." The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat.I want you each to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. Its been in my family for six generations. He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch....".The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth,light gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch, until suddenly it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundre

      Airbus A380 - World Largest Passenger Airliner
      The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, four-engined airliner manufactured by EADS (Airbus S.A.S.). It is the largest passenger airliner in the world. It first flew on 27 April 2005 from Toulouse, France. After lengthy delays, commercial flights are scheduled to begin in late 2007. During much of its development phase, the aircraft was known as the Airbus A3XX. The nickname Superjumbo has become associated with the A380, although during early development the nickname "Megaliner" was used within Airbus.More related :World First "light energy" HandphoneTest Car - Brabus Rocket CLS 600 United's New First Class Suite Worlds Fastest ToiletWorld Most Famous Classic Car - BMW 328 Mille Mig...

      Airbus A380: Stick a Fork in It, It's Done
      By William Trent, CFA of Stock Market Beat We have been saying that the Airbus A380 superjumbo jet is just too big:The only most successful US airline, Southwest (LUV) earned its success by offering non-stop flights from smaller airports. Rejional jets could open point-to-point non-stop service to an even larger number of even smaller airports - paving the way for the next Southwest.Smaller jets can be loaded and unloaded quickly, saving precious time for passengers and precious money for the operator - who can keep the jets flying (earning money) rather than sitting on the ground (costing money). Smaller airports allow passengers to pass more quickly through security, further saving time. Plus, greater point-to-point service to more markets means they also save time by not having to connect through hubs. Lacking the dramatic potential of larger jets, regional jets are likely to be avoided by terrorists.Basically, for most routes passengers won't want to wait for the other 400 passen

      Airbus Hands Boeing The Keys To The Plane (BA)
      The smoke signals have been rising above the horizon for some time now. Emirates Airlines has dropped orders for the ten Airbus 340s it was buying and will go with the Boeing 777 instead. Emirates is also sending some of its folks to Airbus to see whether the European airplane manufacturer will ever actually build the 380 super-jumbo jet. If the visit goes badly, Boeing could pick up some 747 orders as well. When Boeing announced earnings recently, its stock dropped from about $84 to $80.. Investors were trading the past instead of the future. Never a good thing. Boeing earnings were down, partly because the company closed its airplane broadband unit. However, sales were up as were airplane deliveries. Boeing also raised guidance for next year. The folks on Wall St. wanted a little more than Boeing had to offer, and refused to trade the shares higher. Maybe it will take Airbus shutting down for them to see the orders coming Boeing's way.

      Boeing to Kick Airbus While They're Down
      By William Trent, CFA of Stock Market Beat We were among the many who reported on Airbus' continuing woes with their A-380 Jumbo Jet. Now archrival Boeing aims to capitalize on their misfortune, possibly turning the A-380 into a huge white elephant. Aero-News Network reports: In an apparent answer to Airbus' A380, Boeing is stretching the 747-8 to seat 467 pax now. They'll have to pull a little harder to match the massive A380's 550 passengers, but clearly, Boeing believes there's a market for large people carriers. Not necessarily. They could just be figuring that, as in horseshoes, close will be good enough for many customers. Learning from their success with the 787, Boeing is incorporating some lessons. Specifically, the Chicago planemaker says the 747-8 is 11% lighter comparing the total weight of the plane to the number of seats, and will consume 10% less fuel per passenger than the A380. It says that translates to a 19% lower trip-cost and a 3% reduction in seat-mile
