That may have been done on purpose. I seem to remember that during the test flights they do something called a high incidence of attack test or some such name. They rotate but don`t lift off which causes the tail to drag.

This is probably archival test footage. The A380 is so heavy that it needs an especially high incidence of attack to attain enough lift for takeoff, so the tail hits the tarmac. You can see the tailskid they installed to prevent the airframe from sustaining any real damage.

Still, I bet it`s like trying to fly a freight-train.

Clearly Roseanne Barr was sat at the back of the plane.

This is one bad ass commercial plane. Shit can hold up to 1,300,000 lbs depending on if its a 800 or 800F.

^Notice how long the plane is on it`s hind wheels. Thats the pilot pulling up before coming to ideal speed for take off (either pilot error or strong headwinds). That angle at low speeds provides more drag than lift.

There is a tail skid attached to the rear of the airframe - it`s red.

You don`t get picked to become a pilot of this type of aircraft and then make some kind of mistake like this. Not to mention you dont hear one "gasp" or "oh my god" or "look at that" from any of the people taking photos/videos so they likely knew it was going to happen.

Top off with the fact that it has no airline markings.



Though I will give you, it did look like the very tip of the plane was also drug so maybe that wasnt intentional....

You can tell it`s probably some sort of test because it also still has Airbus badging on it, and not some airline.

Headwind = less runway required to take off
tailwind = more runway needed to take off
