Airbus resolves A380 wiring problem

It's not mysterious or puzzling as it's one of the best documented production delays in recent aeronautical history and has been particularly well covered by the accepted main stream aviation press.

The wiring in question was not specific to the wing; it was the fuselage wiring and the production problems associated with the design and manufacture which have been highlighted as the primary cause of the delays.

The secret would get out? Teams from Emirates and Singapore airlines (See Flight International) have both independantly audited the production process for potential delays-hardly the stuff of rumour and conjecture, surely.

wazzup Doc? Well, one possibility is that designing and building the largest commercial aircraft of the 21st century - which is the most technologically advanced aircraft around - has been a little more complicated than originally anticipated by the look of it.

It's back on track by all accounts, I look forward to seeing it in the near future
