I have no way of really knowing anything for certain except for what I have been reading. This project appears to be getting worse. I think it is turning out to be an engineering quagmire, doomed ultimately to end without success, after it burns everyone out.
It sort of reminds of me of some programming projects I was involved with in another life.

Airbus has begun to install a strengthening package on to the wing of a completed A380 as an interim solutionA little more significant than some shifting wiring bundles.
Before this thread goes off the deep end, anybody know of any other instances like this with other commercial airliners?

Sounds like the French aren't any better at building airplanes than they are at building nuclear-powered warships. Sounds like socialist France is having the same problems with it's cradle-to-grave 'workforce' that the USSR had. Why perform well at work when there is neither reward nor punishment?

Wings fall off and critical wiring is bad - boy those europeans really know how to build a plane. You won't see me on one.

Airbus A380: The BIG PIG Hopefully the additions will make it so heavy they won't be able to "cram" more than 400 people into it. (I know, the additions aren't likely to weigh 30 tons.)
