Destructive test goes after completed static tests so the guy was right.
If everything goes well they will do that, I am sure.
To add here an excerpt from Airbus VP Eng's statement fro FI:
"Garcia says the trial was an “extremely severe test during which a wing deflection of 7.4m [24.3ft] was recorded” and that the A380 wing was designed to have “no margin” at ultimate load. “We had a weight-saving programme and ‘played the game’ to achieve ultimate load,” he says."
So they did (expectedly) go to "zero margin". Whoever asked before since this was mentioned before. s I said they were saving weight.
In the end they will get out with slightly different cert reports.
"Jonathan Howes, technical director of UK-based certification consultants AeroDAC and, until recently, leading structures certification specialist for the A380 at the UK Civil Aviation Authority, says the rupture “was so close to the ultimate target that it is almost certain to allow approval to be given without the need for a re-test, but this will be subject to a negotiation between Airbus and EASA”.
