The Airbus A-380 has a natural pitch-down which needs to be corrected by the fly-by-wire system. It's the opposite of the natural pitch-up in the 737 Max series.

This is a result of redistributing the weight so the horizontal stabilizers of the tail are used for lift, in addition to the wing.

This design in the A-380 greatly reduces fuel usage, but it comes at the expense of creating an inherently unstable flight characteristic. It's an instability which should have naturally corrected the error of the Air France 447 stall, but the pilots action interfered the natural correction because they thought something else was happening. (loss of situational awareness)
