I saw the my first photograph of the A380 Airbus yesterday as it rolled
along the runway at JFK airport.

It sure looks like an airplane "designed by a committee". It is Ugly,,
ill proportioned,, and may as a consequence, still have flight
problems, that the designers tried to fix.

The rudder & elevators look So Huge for the rest of the plane. The 4
mammoth jet engines might have have been better replaced with 6 smaller
engines. Prop-jets should have been considered to help "save the
environment" through burning a lot less fuel. A little slower schedules
to get used to.

I don't think they will sell many of these "beasts". It really is a mess
of a transport plane.
