Dramatic footage has emerged of the world’s largest passenger plane battling fierce crosswinds during a dramatic landing in Germany.The video shows the Emirates A380 approaching the runway in Dusseldorf at an angle.As the right hand-side wheels hit the tarmac the giant aircraft lurches to the left erratically.
On top of the high winds, the runway was very wet, the YouTube user added, saying that the A380 touched the ground “a little late.” The A380 replaced the Boeing 777-300 on the Dusseldorf-Dubai route flown by Emirates four months ago, Cargospotter said.The giant double-decker airplane holds a maximum of 853 passengers, and it is some 236 feet long and has a maximum takeoff weight of 1.27 million pounds. The A380 has a maximum range of 8,500 nautical miles that allows it to fly non-stop from Dallas, Texas to Sydney, Australia.
