Airbus is confident that it will not need to modify production aircraft.Their motto:
"Airbus--Nope, nothin' wrong here!"
To: A.A. Cunningham
Is this where they actually bend a wing until it breaks? or just a model? I think I remember them actually testing/breaking a 747 and the video is really cool.
To: A.A. Cunningham
Did anyone see the results of their ground test evacuating 600 people in 90 seconds? I have trouble believing that's possible.

I know a guy who breaks airplane wings for a living. He says it's a great deal of fun....

And still flunks the test even though they've written the test.

I take this is not a good result for Airbus.

We were flying along, nice as you please, halfway across the Atlantic Ocean, when the wing fell off. I was shocked, I tell you...shocked!

I've had several British cars. I've had one French car. None of them were worth a darn, although the British cars were cute.
I'll not be flying this aircraft, thanks very much. One Pugeot was more than enough for me to understand French engineering excellence.

The Boeing 777 went 157% of wing load before it broke ... I saw it in a video during a tour at the Everett plant ....

Airbus A380 test wing breaks just below ultimate load target
...due to 'Good Old Boy' in-house-engineering meeting unreasonable deadlines. "Ship it Anyway!".....ie. 'any-way'....$$$$
