How long can the A380 fly at sea level?
With a single working, the aircraft will likely fly for a whole hour perhaps even two hours (turbofans produce a LOT of thrust very close to sea level, the rate of descent would decrease a LOT below 15000ft). In such cases, the pilot will use max thrust, which will damage the engine but will produce another 20% thrust or something like that.
