Aircraft doors & emergency exits are for ingress/egress of pax & crew on ground only.
A question asked by many : Can these doors/exits be opened in-flight ?

Operating the opening handle, the door moves slightly inward (0.5-4mm depending on door rigging) then upward before opening outward & moving fwd parallel to the fuselage.
The initial inward movement brings a gap between door & fuselage door stops, thus allowing the door to go up

In-flight, the lever can only be moved up until reaching about 30°-35°. This motion is sufficient to trigger the door closed & the latch sensors to indicate an unsafe door on ECAM.
#A380 #Boeing #Airbus #avgeek - The world's largest passenger plane, the wide-body two-story Airbus A380, entered service with @SingaporeAir in Oct. 2007. 254 built through 2021 when production ended. @Emirates bought ~half. 1/ @Sylvia70485099
2/ I love Boeing B-747s, but the A380 feels even bigger and statelier despite the decidedly awkward proportions in these glamor shots. :) The project started as the A3XX in the mid-1990s. Surprisingly, neither was the first double-decker passenger liner.
3/ The A380's major components come from across Germany, England and Spain (and elsewhere?) with final assembly in #Toulouse, France, long a big French assembly hub. This collaboration has always been part of the multinational Airbus company's model.
Coming into land at Heathrow… after an eventful week at the IMF, off the plane that Kwarteng was meant to be on … not much can have happened in 7 hours, surely? ✈️ #A380

-abundantly clear at highest portals of foreign financial power, in Governments & banks etc, that question marks over UK market credibility matter, eg told UK gilt crisis shifted Federal Funds futures rate.
saying there have been no UK specific factors is credibility destroying

After a few months of hard work, today is the day where the 'A320 Family Archive' (@A320Archive) becomes 'AIB Family Flights' (@aibfamilyflight). Besides logging the #A220 and #A320 Family, the Project now also logs the #A330, #A350 & #A380 Family.
