A380 - so whats the low down???
The A380 delays have a line of Airbus bossfellahs falling on their swords, citing complications with the premium class entertainment systems wiring (I think). Can this really be the whole story? Sure, large modern aircraft must have complex power systems but to cause these kinds of delays? Sounds like the tip of an iceberg to me.
Airbus has apparently got some very hot ISO9000 procedures but there could still be some deep rooted fundamental design blooper not picked up by the procedures.
My hunch is too many boy wonder project managers and not enough experienced old school designers there...
Any information out there???
