Will the FAA require them to crack another or force a reduction in ZFW, being as the failure point was outside the allowed margin ?


And I Just wanted to say...........

Many headlines make it seem as though the wing test was a complete failure and the stories don't mention the fact that the wing was supposed to break.

Even though Airbus is so secretive, when official news does reach the light of day, the media always makes such a sensation with grossly misleading headlines.

This kind of crap reporting doesn't happen with Boeing in the development stages - they tend to get picked on later. (for whatever reason)
