AIRBUS REVELA NOVO&nbsp;SUPERJUMBO A380PLUS

A aeronave foi apresentada durante 52ª edição do Salão Aeronáutico de Le Bourget, em Paris

Para tentar reanimar as vendas da maior aeronave de passageiros do mundo, a Airbus apresentou uma nova variante do Superjumbo, o A380plus. A aeronave foi apresentada neste domingo (18), antes mesmo da abertura do Paris Air Show ou Salão Aeronáutico de Le Bourget, que abre as portas nesta segunda-feira (19) em Paris, na França.




Conforme publicado pelo Jornal do Ar em março deste ano, a aeronave sofreu alterações na cabine de passageiros, onde foi retirada uma das suas principais características: a “grande escadaria” frontal. A escadaria foi substituída por outra de tamanho mais reduzido para o aumento da capacidade de assentos.

Além das modificações na cabine, a aeronave vai ser 4% mais eficiente em termos de combustível, graças aos novos winglets, dispositivos que reduzem o arrasto aerodinâmico, que por sua vez contribui para a redução do consumo de combustível, segundo a Airbus.

Ainda segundo a fabricante europeia de aeronave, o benefício geral do upgrade em conjunto com um otimizado programa de manutenção, pode reduzir o custo por assento em até 13% em relação aos atuais A380.

“O A380plus é uma maneira mais eficiente de oferecer a melhor economia e desempenho operacional ao mesmo tempo”, disse John Leahy, Chefe de Vendas da Airbus em comunicado.










Com as atualizações no interior da cabine de passageiros, o A380plus poderá acomodar mais de 80 novos assentos, descubra como:

- Com a substituição da grande escadaria frontal por uma menor, é possível acondicionar 20 ou mais novos assentos;
- Um nova cabine de descanso da tripulação liberou espaço para três novos assentos;
- Um novo conceito de assento inovador desenvolvido pela a Airbus e seus parceiros, permite manter os assentos de 18 polegadas lado-a-lado na classe econômica em uma configuração de 3-5-3. Essa configuração aumenta a capacidade da cabine em 23 assentos.
- Novo módulo de escadas na traseira do A380plus, permite galleys maiores e ainda espaço para mais 14 assentos e dois troles de refeições extras.
- Arranjos removidos das paredes do deck superior aumenta a largura da cabine e dá capacidade para mais 10 assentos/camas da classe executiva.
- A cabine principal do A380 é significativamente mais larga que qualquer outra aeronave comercial, isso permite que fabricantes de assentos possam otimizar os assentos da classe Premium Economy (PE) e criar o mais eficiente e confortável configuração possível. Tal configuração pode adicionar a Premium Economy 11 assentos em um layout de 8 assentos lado-a-lado.
- Além de todas as modificações do novo A380plus, a aeronave também terá a capacidade de transportar mais carga.

AIRBUS PRESENTS THE A380PLUS

· Further increasing A380 efficiency and economics

· Maintaining A380 unique comfort level

· New large winglets to provide up to 4 % fuel burn savings

· 13% cost reduction per seat versus current A380&nbsp;

Airbus is presenting a development study for an enhanced A380, the “A380plus”. The study includes aerodynamic improvements in particular new, large winglets and other wing refinements that allow for up to 4% fuel burn savings. Added to an optimised A380 maintenance programme and the enhanced cabin features first shown at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in April, the overall benefit is a 13% cost per seat reduction versus today’s A380.

John Leahy, Airbus COO Customers, explains: “The A380plus is an efficient way to offer even better economics and improved operational performance at the same time.” John adds: “It is a new step for our iconic aircraft to best serve worldwide fast-growing traffic and the evolving needs of the A380 customers. The A380 is well-proven as the solution to increasing congestion at large airports, and in offering a unique, passenger-preferred experience. ”

The new winglets measure approximately 4,7 metres in height (an uplet of 3.5m, and a downlet of 1,2m). It is designed to improve aerodynamics and reduce drag.

The optimised cabin layout based on the ‘cabin enablers’ presented at Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX), allows up to 80 additional seats* with no compromise on comfort: redesigned stairs, a combined crew-rest compartment, sidewall stowage removal, a new 9-abreast seat configuration in premium economy and 11-abreast in economy.

The A380plus will have an increased maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 578 tonnes providing the flexibility of carrying up to 80 more passengers over today’s range (8,200nm), or flying 300nm further.

The A380plus features longer maintenance check intervals, a reduced six-year check downtime, and systems improvements, which will reduce maintenance costs and increase aircraft availability.

The A380 is the world’s largest, most spacious airliner that offers passengers the smoothest, quietest and most comfortable ride. With two full widebody decks, offering widest seats, wide aisles and more floor space, the A380 has the unique capability to generate revenue, stimulate traffic and attract the flying public, who can now specifically select the A380 when booking a flight via the iflyA380.com web site. Over 170 million passengers have already enjoyed the experience of flying on board an A380 today. Every two minutes, an A380 takes off or lands somewhere in the world.

*Note for Editors:

497 passengers is the airline’s average capacity of the A380s currently in operation today – which are consistently attracting above-average passenger load factors. With all A380 cabin enablers, the A380 average seat count would move from 497 to 575 in four classes, and generate significantly more revenue for airlines.

Cabin enablers description

New Forward Stairs – 20 more passengers (Business, Premium Economy &amp; Economy Classes)

The NFS involves relocation of the forward stair from Door 1 to Door 2, and combining the entrance of the NFS to the upper deck (going up), with the adjacent staircase to the lower-deck crew-rest (going down). The NFS would make room for up to 20 additional passengers.

Combined Crew-Rest Compartment (CCRC) – three more passengers (Premium Economy)

For the CCRC, the existing flight-crew-rest (behind the cockpit in the mezzanine area at Door 1) is moved down and combined with the cabin crew rest on the lower deck. This innovation frees space for three extra Premium-Economy passengers at the front of the main-deck.

11-abreast 3-5-3 economy layout on the main-deck – 23 more passengers (Economy Class)

Thanks to an innovative seating concept developed by Airbus and its seating partners, Airbus is able to maintain an 18inch seat-width while offering airlines an 11-abreast Economy Class on the main-deck in a ‘3-5-3’ configuration. This enables an increase in capacity of 23 seats – adding significantly to the A380’s revenue-generating potential.

New Aft-Galley Stair Module (AGSM) – 14 more passengers + two food trolleys

The AGSM involves the redesign of the rear-stair from a spiral configuration to a straight/square one. On the main-deck, this allows valuable storage volume for galley modules. Overall the AGSM provides space for 14 more revenue passengers plus two extra food trolleys.

Upper-deck sidewall stowage removal – 10 more passengers (Business Class)

The option to remove the sidewall stowages on the upper-deck increases the wall-to-wall cabin width at foot-rest height – which makes space for up to 10 more business class seats / beds when an angled herring-bone arrangement is used.

Nine-abreast Premium Economy on the main deck – 11 more passengers (Premium Economy)

The A380’s generous main-deck cross section – significantly wider than any other commercial airliner – is allowing seat manufacturers to optimise their Premium Economy (PE) seat designs to create the industry’s most efficient and comfortable PE layout possible. This layout enables 11 more PE seats than in an eight-abreast layout.
