First SCRAPPED A380s at French Airplane GRAVEYARD !! 

I'll fix that in the future 😂

Guess used to here on YT I was lucky I am most of the time muted

hahaha rip ears

Didn't blow my ears off - I saw your comment before I let the video start. Thanks.

I want to bay 14 seter air jet

It is sad indeed

ojnoj. Irish Vintage TV and Radio the only plane that landed at the graveyard and ctually left lol

hahaha, hilarius

That was not very desirable and a terrible freighter

It wasn't a marvelous piece of engineering it was a marvelous piece of 💩

@@kiandembrozio7631 how come if you don't mind me asking

@@Kipetio 😶

It was a turd. That's why it's already being scrapped. It came in so far overweight, that it blew the economics all to hell and back. And it was butt ugly. That being said, Airbus cockpits are the bomb and I would have loved to have flown it.

Would be good

Operating costs is way too high.

😅

yeah but no enthusiasts will be able to ride on them :(

@@thesupra97. Well apparently Lufthansa will eventually retire all its A380's prior to the covid 19 pandemic and essentially kept all it's B747 8i.

@@brettdemauna36 its on my bucket list to ride on a 747 airliner before they all get converted to freighters the 2 main airlines here in Moncton New Brunswick Canada are WestJet and Air Canada and most of the airliners here are Airbus A319s and bombardier Q series I rarely see 737s after the MAX crashes

@@thesupra97. You've lost track here dude, focus only on the main topic here re: B747

because you're deaf from the intro audio...... ;p

380,s are butt ugly !

Too much money to keep flying anyways..it was a great idea but not the best to keep them going in the air longer.

@@mattgaming8717 They were never a good idea....

They were a great idea for major hub airlines like Emirates, but unfortunately not many others. I have flown on 10 in Business Class upper deck, which was a wonderful experience...spacious and quiet with fab service!😀👍🏻

Best comment! You spoke for all of us!

I was really lucky to had it muted

This comment was taken into consideration for future videos

It's an early prototype, probably the aircraft that flew the initial certification campaign notice it's in airbus house colours. Such aircraft are difficult to sell to an airline because their spec is different to the product standard aircraft. Usually they are heavier because of all the extra wiring, brackets etc built into it for the flight test equipment and sensor package it carried for the flight test campaign. Later prototypes (5 built for A350) are often closer to production standard and usually sold after the tests are done

I wondered the same so I searched the tail number - www.planespotters.net/airframe/airbus-a350-900-f-wznw-airbus-industrie/e9j0wd It is a testbed aircraft and "in storage"

And still no one has an answer to the problem of what to do with scrap composite Aircraft

@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 There are machines bieng designed and developed now that can return composite materials back to re usable raw materials. Composite will be recycled just as aluminium or steel.

@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 it is possible to use pyrolysis to revert carbon/Kevlar fiber reinforced polymers into their constituent chemical make up but the energy consumption is a thousand times higher than pumping oil out of the ground so there is no commercial incentive to do so unlike iron or aluminium which represent energy savings when recycled. large objects require being broken up mechanically first which in itself is a far more hazardous process with composites than metals. Add to this the difficulty in repairing composite structures and it is clear why the corpses if slightly damaged Cirrus' are beginning to litter small airfields around the world. If a legacy Cessna gets banged up, we either patch it up or use what we can to keep something else flying and sell the rest as scrap to pay for coffee and biscuits.

Declan: looks are subjective but yes; best looking planes ever made, for me as well 👍

True

That’s true....

The A380 is the first production aircraft delivered to Singapore, with children illnesses and overweight. That's the main reason why it was scrapped so soon.

A340 only got airborne because the earth is curved!

Was just about to suggest that 👍

but where to put it ?

No thanks! It would only make a suitable place to live after the appocalypse.

@@MrTheFSXFAN ...and how would you get it it there (imagine an A380 trailer-conversion [and in a trailer park] !)

you could build a boat out of it and have a yaght.

Would have loved to have a go in it

The only possible reason why a young aircraft would be scrapped that soon. the test proto-types have had so much stress put on them that they would be the only ones that would aready be scrapped I guess.

Or they are too expensive to operate half full.

Scrapped for parts, a donor for maintaining other cars or planes is a very smart move!!

There are 2 of them on this graveyard, both from Singapore, MSN 003 and MSN 005 (the second comes at 1:56) Both early production models, the 003 was the first delivered to an airline.

One of these is registered as 9H-DPE, formerly singapore airlines 9V-SKE, which is the MSN 010. So it appears 3 A380 are already scrapped..

Good luck

I agree with you, I feel that it was a complete waste of time developing such a beautiful aeroplane, if the American air line companies don't buy it just like they did with the Concord then it's doomed on economic grounds.

Airports needed considerable adaptations to deal with 380s ...not least the taxi ways and ramps...only economic flying full from major hubs. Not quite the same problems our Concord had to endure...eg noise.

Guess what, Airbus is still building brand new ones (for ANA on domestic flights) until next year.

Way too low

😅

it'll be around for a while yet.

Boeing 717: Am I a joke to you?

@@muizsp9525 I guess it depends on whether you consider it a rebranded dc9/md90 family or not as it is really just the md95 which is like a 737-800 vs a 737-400

nope....qantas has that title...sorry mate

@@hardtop123 excuse me, Quantas? 😂

@@hardtop123 I wasn't talking about an airline, I was talking about an airframe. Like a 727 or a 737 or an A380 or an A300 or a DC3.

They complete maintenance, storage and recycling

A340-800s never exists. These are A340-600

Or older twins

I invite you to read the Tarmac Aerosave website

Those might not be getting scrapped. They could just be excess capacity that's being stored or waiting for a buyer.

@@tamer1773 Wouldn't they be stored in Toulouse then? Seems a little strange to store them here though, could they be testing models? Wouldn't be surprising at all considering how washed out these can get.

@@geronimonimo950 Without knowing the circumstances of the plane's ownership I couldn't say where it would be most efficacious to store them. But as I said earlier, they might not be there for scrapping, but awaiting a buyer.

Quite literally not enough passengers and to costly to run because of !!

It’s a storage facility,looks like Chateauroux in France

The end for cargo planes that large is small. Refurbish 767s )even 747s) and 330s/340s for freight makes a lot more economic sense.

As you probably know the entire nose section of the 747F is hinged and swings upward to allow freight to be loaded/unloaded into either the side or the nose (for oversize freight) or pass completely through the fuselage, as with many large freight aircraft. On the A380 an unfortunate design decision placed the flight deck near the center of the nosecone preventing similar modification or making it prohibitively expensive.

David Dowling shoot the 747 is being phased out by almost every airline as well. And Boeing will be ending production at some soon as well. All queens die. It is sad to see though

Garrett Dodson Not quite. UPS and other freight companies are using 747’s

@@aaaeee2862 The 747 is a good cargo aircraft, but the -400 is now phased out of the passenger service. We will see the 747 for a while at sky, but more as cargo aircraft.

Simon Maier that’s what I was trying to say, that now they will only be used as cargo aircraft.I appreciate the rest of the information🙏

Ken W I did not know that, thank you.

I didn't know this detail, but according to internet sources it should be former Singapore aircraft MSN 003 and MSN 005 (the second at 1:56). Emirates don't have retired A380s in my knowledge, and plans to keep them until 2035. The 2 Singapore aircraft already retired are 9V-SKA and 9V-SKB. I searched for pictures of them in service, and both of them have also only one window after the last door in the upper deck.

Weird, This is the 9H-DPE, which was formerly the 9V-SKE. But the 9V-SKA is noted as the only A380 being scrapped... Both being Singapore airlines...

They probably scrapped it because of all the shitty landings it had to endure. Too many stress cracks to bother fixing it.

This is A350-941 F-WZNW, 4th Pre-production aircraft, first flight Feb 26, 2014, currently owned by Airbus Industrie and stored at Trabes, waiting to be sold (but I don't know where? A museum?)

Probably one of the aircraft used as a test unit. No seats, just a flat floor with anchor points for test equipment. It could be quickly reconfigured and used for future tests of different engines, larger or more powerful providing the current wing structure can cope

@@leftatedsa Yes. The only certain conclusion is that this aircraft is not scrapped. It is well protected for long-term storage and planned for further use, but the details are unknown...

Thanks for your feedback guys!

Very sad sight

Si...

Indeed

No I haven't

These look like the former test aircraft which would have been hammered to hell and not be usable anyway

It's because Airbus didn't do their market research well. The A380 never had a strong market to begin with. The world was moving to 2 engine airliners and diverging away from hub and spoke systems (Boeing already knew that) so this was just an arrogant prideful venture for Airbus to try to one up the 747 which they even failed to do at that.

@@mannfan12 fuck off Boeing fanboi

The aviation industry is, as all, extremely dependant on economics

@@HWingsAviation that’s what I’m saying. Airliners cost billions. That’s not cheap by anyone’s standards.

And soon

Daisy Beagle only the most efficient will survive

Most of them are not paid yet. Not going to happen. Airbus are still delivering brand new ones !

julosx To who?

Economists

For multiple reasons

🤷🏻‍♂️

Indeed most of them may fly again

That A350 was a prototype probably.

@@dave_riots I did think that but surely they could've put it to better use

With the huge "A350" graph in it : prototype for sure. The one we see flying in airbus commercials

Would be good

Do you really think what you say ! Never reconstructed. When a new car is manufactured do they reconstruct the roads or petrol stations ?

Phil Frydman most cars aren’t substantially bigger than others before. Many airports and terminals were modified to accommodate the a380s shear size as well as its double deck.

Phil Frydman Any airport that wanted to take 380 had to make changes and bring in new aero bridges. Just see in every airport 380 is is in dedicated gates only.

It does

Do they serve pancakes on a ihop RJ?

@@tomsamuelson8512 They might

Arthur Matthews: Empty engine nacelles and missing doors isn't storage.

Yep

Initially the planes are put up for sale, before being scrapped, therefore they need to be painted white

Yes ‘white tails’ are common practice in the aviation industry especially in accidents or aircraft up for lease or sale or in transit to a new owner.

This aircraft was only leased by Singapore, it belonged to the Dr. Peters Group, a leasing and financial service for aircraft. Singapore didn't extend the leasing contract, and Dr. Peters couldn't find another customer or this very early aircraft (MSN 003 and MSN 005). The 2nd one is at 1:56 in the video.

It is measured in flight hours or cycles (takeoffs/landings). Most of these planes didn't reach their potential yet

Indeed most of them are in storage

Sounds about right. Serial no. 003, 005 and 010 are known to be scrapped..

It was, in storage

They are there for spare parts, and scrap metal. Not to be turned into drug dens. Besides, the moment you let homeless in, they’ll end up fighting each other over space. Despite what you may think, the homeless are not nice nor grateful people.

And also, Boeing 737 max planes for homeless appartments

It's in storage
