What the heck is that I been trying to google it all day. It looks like it dwarfs the airbus 380.

are you talking about the aircraft in front of the A380? Looks like an A340-600 and it's definitely not as big as the 380.. the 380 is ridiculous.

yeah , had a vet at work tell me that the airbus 380 is a double decker built low. But at the 205 mar all you see is a wing that sits above the 380. I know no other aircraft is as big as the 380 but that other aircraft wing seems to sit higher then the airbus fuselage.

Yeah im hoping some one can tell me what aircraft is that at the 2:05 mark.

I think its illusionary, the wing may be further fwd then a 2d picture shows.

like i said earlier in the thread, it's an A340, and it is NOT bigger than the A380-- it's just the angle at which the picture was taken.

u guys prob right...i knew the airbus 380 was the largest ...but I was wondering if that aircraft just had it wing sit higher or just right to create the illusion.
