Airbus Maiden Flight

Like a bumblebee, the A380 looks like it shouldn't be able to fly - but it can. In terms of the super-jumbo's weight problems, I wonder if airports that accomodate the A380 will increase Airbus's gate fees to account for increased runway wear-and-tear. Airports that plan to accomodate these giants have already pledged to modify their terminals. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out financially for Airbus.

(Just thought you'd want to know)

From what I understand, they are planning a second test flight where the airbus has to deal with serious weather and turbulence.

There will be many more test flights. The later flights will actually test the limits of the airplane and it's maneuvering abilities. They will be much more dangerous than the first.
