Airbus A380 New Option: Curb Feelers

An Airbus A380 smacked the tip of its wing into a building at the Paris air Show.


Airbus's A400 military transport at the show was grounded for gearbox troubles.

From this photo, it almost looks like a grass strip, but some color processing suggests the pavement is almost as wide as the main wheel track.

if Nangleator is right about the width of the runway, than the building is too close and the plane should not have been going there. The 380's wingspan is 37 feet longer than the 747's, so each wing sticks out an extra 18'6". Can you even accurately judge the amount of space you will need from the cockpit of a plane like that?
