Roll out Vs Roll in. Which is better?
Hopefully if they have a roll out ceremony the weather is good. In the case of the A-310 they had a roll in ceremony. There were two problems. First the aircraft was sitting outside of the production hangar and everyone coming to the ceremony could see the aircraft. Secondly it was raining. When the roll in started all of the executives from the airlines and major subcontractors were sitting down in the area that would be covered by the right wing when the aircraft was in place for the ceremony. The aircraft was towed in and when it stopped several hundred gallons of rainwater came spilling down on the dignitaries. Just imagine if the same thing happened with the A-380?
