Airbus to build plane that's even uglier than the A380

Re: A380 ugly?

I've lived under the flightpath for 16R in Sydney for 10 years now and never tire of seeing aircraft go past. The A380 looks like a 6-year-old's lumpen plasticine failure. It's nicely quiet on landing but rather strident on takeoff. The few 747s still in use are far louder. The 777 is splendidly quiet. The more new-gen aircraft come into service the easier it is to live here.
