One thing about the A380 is that it has an awesome flap extension/retraction sound.

@elie_boi0552 7 жыл бұрын

Max Howard that is not the wing, well half of it is but when the plane touches down,it touches down on the back wheels which gives the plane a little height, so the wing drop is the nose or the plane coming down on all its wheels

@tonyowen116 6 жыл бұрын

Actually, the wing does droop after touch down, as it is no longer creating lift. You ought to see this viewed from behind the aircraft on touch down. Its impressive. The wing droop, or relaxing, can be seen easily on many of the large aircraft. Ever seen the wing bend B747-400 on take off?

Beautiful video! You can see the water vapor heavily forming above the wing on short final because of the lift-generating vacuum. And of course, when the huge plane's weight is transferred to the landing gear from the big wings after touchdown, the wings droop down because they are no longer lifting the plane.

Hey Daniel... Nice as always. FYI - as you are on a straight in approach (more or less) for 24R, the flight path is over the San Bernardino Mts (basically over Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead area). The Hollywood Hills, which are part of the Santa Monica Mts., don't start until you pass just east of Downtown LA. If it was a clear afternoon, you probably could have seen the Hollywood sign on the hill side, as you got closer to LAX. (I know you can see it from Imperial Hill). The captain must have touched down around the 1K foot marker, as reverse thrust was applied as you passed the Lincoln Bridge. I've seen an A380 of Korean Airlines touch down at the Bridge. That was scary... The guy got it stopped, though, even using max reverse thrust, I'm sure the brakes were smoking hot at the end of the landing roll. I've got pictures.... Cheers, Tony

This is the 1st time I've been up in a plane since 1966 when as a kid my father who was in the British army , as a family were flying back from a 4 posting in Cyprus to dear old blighty . The plane I flew back to the UK in was a VICKERS VANGUARD I think it may have had PROPELLERS . It didn't half rattle if I remember correctly .

+IsoscelesKramer Yup. San Diegan here, I was looking for the Hollywood sign and not seeing it. I finally thought this is just the San Gabriels, probably north of Rancho Cucamonga, Glendora, etc.

@raynessel4574 7 жыл бұрын

Right, the video zooms in on the racetrack in Fontana, that's south of the Cajon Pass separating the San Bernardino Mountains from the San Gabriel Mountains. The flight path parallels the 10 FWY all the way into LAX, the Hollywood Hills are the eastern most part of the Santa Monica Mountains and don't come into view until the camera zooms back out from a close up of DTLA at about 13:40. There's too much haze and not enough resolution to get a sharp image past the wing, it might have been possible to spot the Hollywood Sign on Mt Lee with the naked eye from the plane if you knew what you were looking at.

Yeah that was a quiet landing alright. You know , 380 's are going out of business production. Any avid fans of the 380 can probably start to buy one at a cheap price. Couldn't you imagine having one of your very own. You could deck it out with so many really nice bed rooms and then have a flying home to travel the world. Your friends would envy you to the fullest.
