    Airbus should have developed the A38p keeping in mind the The Carho freighter market too. Then at least cargo operators would be interested In them.

    "Originally only quad jets"
    Eeh.. well. The first year. Then came The tri jets a year later. And a few years later The A300.
    Really the 747 was The only quad jet wide boddy of the first decade

    The A380 as cool as it is ,, is a waist and just too big and it seems the 747 is also just too big. Making a giant airplane is something that most manufacturers can do but to make it practical is the hardest part.
