Pretty sure I’ve read there will never be a cargo a380 because its max takeoff weight is low compared to its volume.

- csours 6y agoI think cause and effect may be chasing each other here. You're not wrong, but also the A380 was not designed to have a high takeoff weight because they never intended it to carry cargo, so it will never carry cargo because it has a low takeoff weight compared to its volume. It was a design decision to be a people mover. [0] 0: https://www.flexport.com/blog/airbus-a380-no-cargo-equivalent/ https://www.flexport.com/blog/airbus-a380-no-cargo-equivalen...
- tormeh 6y agoMany low-density things need to be shipped fast, though. But I guess that niche is not big enough.
