Good question, though. The above is design date around 1985. The technology has progressed, never mind the dead ends, and we're 1/3 of a century ahead.

Carrying a speed additive to cover for the headwind loss is hardly a novel idea, it was a common knowledge that Airbus engineers decided to adopt in the EIS.

Are there any other aeroplanes that would do the same or similar? Or better? There must be a ton of fancy clever suff that can be coded, now that we are well in the iPhone era.
