The Airbus A380 has the potential to be an excellent cargo aircraft due to its large size, long range capabilities, and ample onboard space for pallets. Airbus had proposed a cargo version of the Airbus A380, dubbed the A380F, as early as June 2005. This version could carry a maximum payload of 150 tons over a range of 10,400 km. With a 7% higher payload capacity and better range than the Boeing 747-8F, the A380F would have been the freighter aircraft with the largest payload capacity, with the exception of the Antonov An-225 Mriya. Although Airbus had plans to build the A380F freighter and even received orders from some cargo giants, this version never made it to production.
For some time after the failure of the A380F, Airbus considered creating an Airbus A380 variant that would have featured a higher maximum takeoff weight (MTOW), adding an extra 32,000 lbs. This variation would have a reduced range of around 5,800 nautical miles (NM), which is just under the passenger version of 8,200 NM. Airbus suggested that these two factors could be traded off, with less weight equating to more range, and the company even proposed an extra-long-range model that would have included an additional central fuel tank.
With a payload capacity of 150,000 kg and range of 10,410 km, the current Airbus A380 can fly non-stop from Europe to Asia, or the US West Coast. The upper deck has a maximum width of 5.92 m that can accommodate 17 pallets, while the main deck has a maximum width of 6.58 m that can hold up to 28 pallets. Furthermore, the lower deck can hold 13 pallets, making the total hold volume around 1,134 m³. In terms of construction, the Airbus A380’s cockpit features a sidestick control that is the same distance from the throttle as on other Airbus cargo aircraft, making it familiar to pilots who have flown any of the A320, A330/A340, or A350 family of aircraft. Generally, high-strength, damage-resistant, and lightweight composites, as well as multiple-layer aluminum and glass fiber-reinforced adhesives (Glare), are extensively used in the design and construction of Airbus A380 vessels.
Another noteworthy feature of the A380 includes its Brake to Vacate (BTV) system which helps ease airport congestion, reducing the overall amount of time the aircraft remains on the runway. More specifically, the system enables pilots to select a runway exit while the vehicle is making its landing approach, using the auto-flight, flight controls, and auto-brake systems to regulate deceleration after touchdown. This helps the aircraft reach a specified exit at the correct speed under optimum conditions while avoiding runway excursions.
