There has been little band width wasted in this thread so far. I am sure the website proprietor is very happy with the numbers of visits this thread has attracted. There are a few of us who have persistently sought answers in this thread with reference to known information. If the Qantas accident had resulted in fatalities I would not be posting here.

Readers will notice this particular group does not discuss airframe and control problems that the Qantas accident involved. The goal here is to educated ourselves. Knowledge is power, as they say.

The A380 and the T900 series engines are very much in the public domain and as the MBAs would say "we are all stakeholders in this enterprise". Some of us in the EUR paid taxes that set up the EADS company. Those like me, in the UK, pay taxes that are redistributed to RR for research and development.

There could well be members of this forum who have personal pecuniary interests in RR....a pension from them or shares in the company. Others might be motivated by pride and are in denial about what happened in this case.
