Airbus A380, a double-deck,wide body, four engine jet airliner that capable of carrying
544 passengers over a range of 15200km. This project had started in the year of 1988, engineers
that time had faced a lot of channges but they had overcame them by pioneering new solution
and technology. Building the world's largest airliner was not without difficulties. However,
obstacles strikes when manufacturing and installation of the A380's electrical systems led to the
build-up of delivery delays. In June 2006, Airbus had outlined a series of actions dealing
with the situation, including new processes for the outfitting of A380 fuselage sections
and manage to deliver its first aircraft in the year of 2007. It's true that not every
airport can handle the A380's enormous body, but the problem isn't the runways. Extensive
testing showed that the weight of the plane would not cause too much extra stress on runways
since the A380 uses more landing wheels than other large jets. So, each wheel actually
transmits less weight to the runway than some other aircraft. The biggest problem lies in
the terminal space. There just isn't enough space to park an A380 at most airport terminals
due to the airport gangways. The challenges that faced by Airbus when making the A380
and how they overcome it had inspired me. As an engineer, determination and patience
are the key of success. When obstacles strikes, it just depend on what kind of attitude we
are using to deal with it and the goal to success will come to us in no time.
