I wonder if it can readily be converted to carry bulky freight. Probably not since the floor frames would add to the structural integrity.
Unlike the 747 the A380 doesn’t seem to have been built for cargo from the get go. Though the collapse of the hub system may see the 747 mostly go away in passenger service that it is such a great cargo hauler means it will be with us for a long, long time still.
In both roles since parts are going to be available.
Massive air freighters, or monster fire retardant bombers. Think of how much one of these babies could drop on a wildfire!
Probably too unwieldy for that application, just passing some gas here...
No it can not configured as a freighter
