They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder,when you have to cram that number of passengers into a large metal tube there are restrictions on what the end result eventually looks like ? the problem today is that designers have set graphs and tables to work to,the airlines just want to make more and more money with higher density air travel,time will tell if that principle will work as anticipated although Boeing think otherwise,those that buy the A380 will be pioneering the mass air carriage market.
The A380 is no more than a very expensive tool to do the job,asthetics apart she is a very well engineered aircraft,long gone are the days when aircraft had lots of character,thats why I like the old un's !
Pie in the sky,we will just have to wait and see ?
