The Airbus A380 superjumbo is so quiet it's stopping pilots from sleeping during rest breaks on long-haul flights, according to reports.
Flight International says Emirates pilots have complained that the lack of engine noise is preventing them from sleeping in the crew rest area.
The constant buzz of engine noise usually drowns out the sounds of passengers, but pilots says they are being kept awake by crying babies, flushing toilets and call bells.
