Video: If you liked the Airbus A380 crosswind trials pictures you'll love this

Airbus A380 F-WWDD, underwent crosswind performance trials at Keflavik on 10 November, completing six landings on runway 02, and taking-off from runway 20.

The video shows just how challenging that flying is. It will eventually result in the published advisory crosswind limits for the type.

Airbus also intends to demonstrate take-offs and landings with tailwinds of up to 15kt.
