A 380 showoff
« on: July 12, 2012, 07:42:10 AM »
Pretty cool video of an Airbus A380 doing some crazy stalls.
All I can say is if it weren't for computers......

As soon as they take off and go into that 45 degree climb and winged over, looked like a stall to me, as well as the AoA at 3:30  :O
Look at the contrails in that flat turn @ 1:50 or so into the video, amazing! Wonder how many G's they were pulling  :headscratch:
Thanks for posting  :aok

We have a A380 fly over us every 2 saturday morning into LAX on final.  Amazing how huge the plane looks at 5k above you.  What a plane.

The 380 was obviously overmodeled.

I see several wingovers as well.
I know it wasn't the smoke :lol
Maybe camera angles are not the best for showing, but sure look like stalls to me.
Then again, I'm not a Pilot.
