Airbuzz is Seeking Customers for Its New A380-1/2 Airplane
Airbuzz is to offer a low cost version of the A380 for price conscious customers. They believe that there is a large market for such a craft, after seeing Mr. Mighty Gem's post on PPRuNe. By reading between the
one lines of Mr. Gem's well documented post, they realized that 'crashlessness' and 'crashworthiness' are two different 'nesses'.
The lower price will come from two logical cost saving features; the purchase of lowest-bid parts and the elimination of pointless inspections. A Mr. Lu Zuckerman objected to this reduction of the 'crashlessness' without an increase in the 'crashworthiness', so the company said that it will put airbags in front of every seat.
Mr. Zuckerman said OK and then made one additional request, to which the company agreed. Upon impact, the airbags are to fill with hydrogen. They feel that an explosion of 500 airbags will be a quick way to remove the passengers from the crash site.
Edited for no logical reason.
