The online report said the 20 firm orders, valued at $5 billion at list prices, came at the expense of Chicago-based Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA - News) rival Airbus and its competing A380 jumbo aircraft. Ping to the A380 chasing the rabbit pic.

i don't care what anyone says, that was an amazing landing coupled with the fact the assembly did not collapse.

Nothing on the Boeing web sight yet, I guess they wait until the customer announces it.

here is the a380 killer,
the noise footprint is smaller than the 747-400.
467 passengers too.
I bet the turbulance will continue to be 1/2 of the a380.
This is good news for Boeing share holders and bad news for france.

I call them "Barf-thansa" after the consequences of some beef stew they served me a few years ago.

this is were it's going to hurt the A-380 , the weight, and since Boeing is closing the gap of amount of seats/Pax, this is going to be something the A-380 has to worry about ( THE WEIGHT ).
" While acknowledging that the A380s all-new wing versus a modified version of the 747-400s on the -8 gives it an aerodynamic advantage, Baseler says that in other measures it is advantage Boeing. The A380 is between 10% and 16% per seat heavier than the 747-8. The 747-8s OEW [operating empty weight] per seat is 453kg [998lb] compared with 498kg per seat [using Airbuss brochure weight numbers] for the A380, says Baseler. He says Boeing calculates the A380 is over 20% heavier per seat than the 747-400, and to match its structural efficiency the A380 needs to be stretched to over 650 seats. The net result of these efficiencies is that the 747-8Is operating costs are 22% lower than the A380s per trip and 6% lower per seat, says Baseler "

Too Bad France! I'm sure, though, that Air Sudan will turn to Airbus for all their jumbo jet needs. [snicker]
