Qantas Says 40 Engines on A380s Need to Be Replaced Worldwide

The real cost of one 380 airbus is 360 million dollars.

The A380 engines cost 10 to 11 million each.

The passengers are lucky the tail didn't fall off as it has on some Airbus A-310's

Any body hear from Rolls Royce or whomever is parent company?

When oil leaks occur across a fleet with multiple owner / operators, a design flaw should certainly be considered.

Yeah, and I may have slipped a decimal point too. 35 million does seem to be the number associated with a new high performance engine

numbers on the net,(take them as you will, go look for your own self, which is something the writer ,editor or fact checker SHOULD have done)
345 million per plane, 30 million per engine. 120/345 is 35 percent.

Somebody slipped a decimal. Engine cost is more likely 35 million. Four engines equals 140 million. which is 40 percent of the 350 million price tag for the aircraft. Pretty close to what is standard with aircraft/powerplant cost ratios

(dealer prep not included, your milage may vary)

It's the problem of people either not proofing their work or knowing what they are writing about.

$350 mil ea. is absolute BS. I am sure some airhead entered the info. $3.5 million is more like it.
