"A380 Almost Stalls" = A380 demonstrates slow speed flight characteristics at airshow flyby.

[most-average-athelete]

Seeing any A380 anytime in the air feels like it's stalling. I still cannot believe my eyes every time I see that beautiful giant flying.

[yuenbarnby]

If I got a dollar every time 3 minutes of aviation used "almost", i would be rich

[MyRealDelusion]

It never ceases to amaze me seeing something that big flying that slow.

[francispitts]

I was on a flight from Atlanta to Tallahassee and the plane was almost completely empty. The pilot announced that he didn’t even have that much cargo. It was the fastest takeoff I’ve ever experienced in a commercial jet. Holy smokes. Really was fun.

"Almost" 3 minutes of Aviation...

1:33 The passengers at the left side could probably see the runway! Amazingly smooth landing with such a big crab angle!

[Eigil_Skovgaard]

0:39 Unless you know the speed through air, you can't estimate how close a plan is to a stall. Furthermore the flaps are down to produce extra lift at a slower speed. Be careful with 'almost' and to make sensation out of normal situations.

[alwaysprepared]

That nosewheel skid was the most impressive thing on the video... LOL

[johnfarnborough]

It was at Farnborough air show. No pax, little fuel, just a demonstration, not a passenger flight and no chance of a stall.

Come on Guys, we all know he uses a bit clickbait, We know this Airbus was safe and we know this Video isn't exactly 3 minutes long. Lets just enjoy this fine ecclectic melange of aviation content. At least I am always happy when I see he uploaded.

[TheGospelQuartetParadise]

The biggest click-baiter on YouTube. That A380 was nowhere near stall speed and it looks like a low-speed flyby.

[samsturbo]

The BA 777 at the end had a spoiler PCU leaking in the video...hence the HYD stained outboard flaps

[LBallina]

What a wrong title. The A380, like the 320, 330, 340 and 350, are designed not to stall. Pilots are properly trained on flight control laws, and handling at low speeds with the proper levels of automation, allowing the airplane to fly without the risk of stalling. This aircraft is not flying slower than at least 1.3 times the stall speed, which is a safe speed for these air-show maneuvers. Please do not misinform people.

I "almost" clicked the *Like* button.

[ItzneviiPS]

That A380 was perfectly fine.... Never came near stalling...

[WetterFlug]

Who says the A380 was close to its stall speed?

[danstinson]

When a plane is flying slow like that A 380 does it automatically go in the nose up configuration due to speed or are there control inputs tha make the plane fly like that?

[paullinkins]

The Cathay Pacific landing in such a strong crosswind was nicely performed. Really smooth.

[tdmap]

1:32 this plane landed at 90 degrees to the runway. Imagine being a passenger and seeing the runway you are actually touching down on on your left side as the plane lands sideways
