And what's even more amazing is how it flexes in the air (click through).

I'm not a big fan of Airbus in general, but that wing is a thing of beauty.

You know you have droop, when your wing tips have wheels.

First picture in a while that illustrates to me the effort needed to get me around the world.....the wing...the engines....the fuel....all working in harmony....aircraft to me are wonderous.

And they fact that they work so reliably and safely, for the number of hours they fly, is amazing.

That is just so crazy that it looks fine. The A380 sort of hits the uncanny valley of airplane looks. It looks almost normal, but not quite normal enough so it just looks odd to me. Head on the Super Guppy looks like an alien head.
