The certificating authorities are going to want to see their computer models. Presumably, Airbus will now refine their computer models based on the results of the static test. Those refined models should be able to predict the results that the static test produced. If they can, then the authorities (JAA/FAA) should be happy to use those models to validate the structural modifications that Airbus most definitely have to produce (with the resultant weight penalty that Airbus is conveniently leaving out of their press releases).
