thye probly just took the wheels off for maintinence

being striped for parts

and the door is missing too

Hello, how else do you test the landing gear to see if it goes up and down properly???? On military aircraft the weapons systems will not fire if the wheels are touching the ground. Therefore jacking them up is the only way to test the weapons firing systems. I realize this is not a military aircraft so this is probably just a landing gear test.

Ooops, did anyone also wander how this plane flies without engines? and half of the port wing missing? Probably a scrapper!!

please get someone smarter than you have now to write the descriptions of what we are about to look at. or do some research before you write about it.

looks like it was striped

seems like a bit of effort to get it up and down there

The planes probably at a scrap yard!

Do aircraft tires have flats? I thought they just blew up.

Never mind, I agree with freedomfighter.

That type of jacks are used during heavy maintenance when the plane has to stay steady for engine removals etc. Also landing gear is tested on jacks to see that they operate correctly. This picture might be from early hull pressure testing of this airbus model. No airline signs, no engines. APU might be in place at the rear and provide the cabin pressure? If this would be at the scrappers I dont think it would stand so alone as they tend to squeeze the planes as tight together as possible.

whats so weird about that

it..must have a flat or somthin.....

thats not even funny

lol, guys, that plane will never fly. they are using it for police and counter terrorist training.

that plane is never to be used again to change an engine u dont hav to put it on jacks or remove the gears either

it could be mounted on top of a jumbo jet and flown out to the plane graveyard, its a real place look it up

No really this is a VTOL Airbus under developement. This picture must have been smuggled out of the factory grounds because for sure it is something that is being developed. I know this for a fact but can't tell you my dad is working on this project.

dude, you got it all rong, thats either a boeing 737 or 767 not airbus. that plane is never to fly again let alone be under develepment so stop pretending your dad is super agent x or sumthing and go and talka bout somthing else you dont know jack**** about

most likely, a 737

yeh thats a 737, look for broken boeing on google

how weird dont see this often
