I have had my doubts about this plane for awhile.
Anyone know if it passed the safety test on getting all passengers out within a short space of seconds as mandated?
I think this thing is the big time bomb waiting to go off.
If this thing crashes within the first months of flying it could chill sales and cause a real crisis within Airbus itself.

As yet, I do not believe it has gone through the passenger tests. It should be VERY interesting to see how they can get the number of passengers it claims to hold off safely

Or maybe...IF they can.

"I have had my doubts about this plane for awhile."

I'm thinking the AirWhale may be Concord redux. The Euros built the damn thing for bragging rights rather than because they ciphered out a good business model.
