Hello,

no they didn't cheat.

The german text below means that the jets ordered until now are only for a
maximum of 644 passengers.

They tested with 650 which is ok for now.

Do you really think that the american authorities could be cheated so
easily??

Erfolgreiche Tiefstapler
Damit hatten die Wenigsten gerechnet. Airbus hatte vor dem Test bewusst tief
gestapelt: Die Airlines hätten bisher Versionen mit maximal 644 Sitzen
bestellt. Deshalb würde es bei dem für die Zulassung nötigen
Evakuierungstest reichen, wenn nur 650 Passagiere das Flugzeug in der
vorgeschriebenen Zeit über Notrutschen verlassen könnten, hatte es vorab
vorsichtig geheißen.

32 Hurt in Airbus Test Evacuation
From Reuters

March, 27 2006

PARIS - European aircraft maker Airbus said Sunday that 32 people were
injured, including one whose leg was broken, in a test evacuation of its
new A380 double-decker airliner, but it called the test a success.

And they cheated and BARELY made it. They used a normal load, which
is something like 650 people, but the damn thing can carry 850 people
in it's max load configuration.

It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Our government is always for sale, which is why most jets are death traps in
a fire. It's been proven, and it's known to the FAA. The airlines have
convinced the agency that certain things are just too expensive to fix.

The slide deflated??? I would think that should be among the simplest
technology to master, along with the packets of plastic eating utensils.

Hello Tom,

I didn't know that.
Thanks for the news.

Are you kidding? We have a president who started a shooting war and is
spending $2 billion a week to sustain it, all based upon reports on which
someone cheated. :}



I thought the Germans knew this already, which is why they've steered clear
of the cluster phuque, except for some shared intelligence.

Well Harry,

seems to me that America will solve this problem one way or the other.
It's not up to me as a german to critisise.
But: I like the new airbus and the 747.
When they rise up into the skies they are just beautiful.
And dangerous...thats the way it is.
Good night
Wolfgang

I saw the take off pictures - it is a beautiful aircraft.

Much too big, but it is beautiful.

I think your Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin had the right idea - way
before it's time.


It's hard to believe in this technology and computer age that the Boeing 767
was the first airplane to be 100% designed in terms of aerodynamics by a
computer.

You can tell the elegance of the design by just looking at it. Much like a
boat with good lines appears made for the water, the 767 looks like it
should be flying .... even sitting on the ground.

Still won't fly in one though.

P.S. My birthday is coming up, and if you'd like to get me a Z06, well,
all would be forgiven. I like the silver metallic...

Much too heavy and underpowered.


I do believe that is the first and only time I've ever heard a Z06 described
as underpowered, I guess everything is relative, but I gotsta ask, compared
to what?

Is it my imagination or does the wing have an unusual camber ?
