I was eager to place orders for the 747-8i, and had zero interest in the A380 until I looked at some of the specs...
The 747-8i seemed like a fantastic plane, with a FABULOUS fuel efficiency for its size, great range, but when I looked at the cost my jaw fell. I find that WAY too much to be paying for an aircraft with about 150 less seats than the A380, which is only a few million more.
The A380, while having poor fuel efficiency, seats a lot of people, and for not that much more than the 747-8i.
So...what's your verdict? Which one is better in AE? Provide reasons below.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, this is not the place for an Airbus VS Boeing showdown. This is purely for AE purposes only. I don't give a damn how good the aircraft is outside of AE right now, so yeah...
