All wings snap durng this test. That's the point. The only problem at this time is that the wing snapped before it was supposed to. The wing was not as strong as believed. However Aribus says the wing was not a production wing and the wings are now stronger. Of course that's what Airbus says. Anyway the planes development just got that much more expensive as they now to go break some more wings. Probably run them another $100 million or so more over budget. Just keeps adding up.
They were hoping the wing would handle 150% of the stress of a full plane, but it snapped at 147%
Thanks for your explaination, seems the 380 has a lot of problems to solve.
