Robert Wicks Knihy

Airbus A380 není pouze největším dopravním letadlem světa, ale také inspirující příběh o inženýrské nápaditosti a úspěchu. Vše kolem tohoto stroje je gigantické – od výjimečného počtu pasažérů až k obrovskému rozpětí – toto letadlo prostě nemá obdobu. Autor Robert Wicks až do sebemenšího detailu podává ranou historii letadla A380, popisuje průkopnické inovace, složitý řetězec dodávek a výrobních postupů, motory, nejmodernější pilotní kabinu a nejposlednější systémy, avšak nezapomíná ani na revolučně řešenou kabinu cestujících. Díky přímému přístupu autora na letiště kniha též zkoumá problémy, kterým musela letiště čelit při obsluze dvoupalubního stroje, a co je zapotřebí, aby letištní obrátka A380 trvala jen pár hodin. A380 je nejuznávanějším, ale také nejdiskutovanějšího dopravním letadlem na světě. Jeho osud se nápadně podobá nadzvukovému Concordu. Oba stroje zkrátka předběhly svou dobu. Concordu jeho osud zpečetila nešťastná havárie, Super jumbu stejně nešťasná a nezaviněná pandemie covidu-19. Poslední vyrobený stroj si převezme společnost Emirates v květnu 2022.
