Evacuation tests from jumbo airliners are simply bold-faced lies. In a disaster, most or all passengers will die. It's that simple. Even military air crews, who have gone through VERY tough survival training and who have to requalify every four years and who hold regular drills, lose people in a real surface emergency.

The A380's long-term future is in cargo and intra-Asian high-density passenger service. It will be a minor success, but Airbus was foolish to bet the company on it.

My real concern for Boeing is the establishment of common processes and tools which streamline the design process. They currently have decided to use the Dassault Systemes (coincidentally a French company)CATIA/ENOVIA/DELMIA products for design engineering and manufacturing but the promised functionality for this from DS is slow and could jeopardize progress thus impacting production. Stay tuned!
