The plane that flies from airport to airport because it cannot fit himself to the hangar? Yes! It is possible. Fortunately, the creative solution finally allowed the Airbus A380 to be parked entirely in the hangar.
Airbus A380 airplane
Plane Airbus A380 it is a very large machine. It can accommodate from 555 to even 853 people. The first ones airlines which started using it were Singapore Airlines. Currently, this model has been on offer for several years plane The German airline Lufthansa also has one. An interesting fact is that this company names its planes after German cities and regions.

The plane is too big
As of March this year, the world's largest passenger plane Airbus A380 he had problems fitting into the hangar. That's why he flew with airports to Munich airport. The plane's tail was too wide to be fully retracted into the Lufthansa hangar.
A great solution
Fortunately, airline engineers came up with a brilliant and creative way to overcome this unusual situation. This solution is a special door that was designed with the large tail of the aircraft in mind. They have such large dimensions that they can easily accommodate the entire machine, CNN reports. On the main website of Lufthansa airlines you can watch the video, which shows the operation of the above-mentioned door.
Munich airport

Munich Airport has been operating since 1992. At that time, no such large planes landed on its premises. Airbus A380 it is 72,7 m long and the wing tension reaches almost 80 m. The airport was not adapted to this type of machines for a long time. Fortunately, the situation has been resolved and the airport maintenance service will not have too much work during the winter.
