The nosegear and the first two bogies of the main gear have been airborne. So assuming the test went right the rest of the plane will follow soon???

No, Elgan.
Apart from anything else, where’s the exhaust? The image of buildings on the other side of the airfield should be distorted by the hot gases pouring out of 4 Trent 900s.
And why aren’t the wingtip lights visible despite the apparent poor light? 🙂
LOL i thought one or two things were missing :rolleyes:

If they have to perform rotation tests before proceeding to first flight, I’d imagine they’d have to do them very soon indeed, if first flight is happening this week…

I thought it looked fake (Seiously!), was trying to work out how they could do that, but didnt dare say anything as I thought they would be a very obvious answer that would make me sound thick 🙂

greekdude, they purposly proform tail strikes but have a massive block of i think mahogoney wood strapped the tail which prevents it from damage.
Thanks Andrew, I was well aware of this.

looks like a fake to me………….they couldnt stop the thing in time if it was real
as regards the tail strikes, for the A380 a hydraulic ‘bumper’ has been installed to deal with the forces involved…nothing else would fit the bill.
