A380 Cracking Up
Hi: link attachedCracks found in A380s during Qantas repairs
Interesting for AB. Maybe? |
if it aint boeing aint going...:p
|
Yawn. Back to sleep.
|
It never fails to amaze me when any fault in Airbus aircraft prompts barely a yawn nowadays. As if to say 'yep, that is standard with Airbus'. There are so many outstanding explanations of faults and failures, some catastrophic, with Airbus planes to date. When are the authorities going to seriously scrutinise this paper aeroplane company? When one of these 380s break up in flight?

Mach,
The average age of all of the above 'incident boeings' was 14-18yrs. Average age of the 380 is just two....! THAT should send up a few red flags my friend. Moreover, a technical glitch in a 2 year airplane is forgiveable. But an airframe stress point crack in the same....is not! Nothing to do with B or AB.. |
All the causes for those Boeings you mentioned were fatigue over age which resulted in the development of better detection methods. In fact every Boeing problem had been transparent which had resulted in benefits for the entire industry.
But a two year old Airbus aircraft cracking? Come on. Not to mention the massive efforts in cover-ups. Yawn yawn you say. Typical cover-up method by an amateur. |
Here we go again... another A vs. B war. :ugh:

Femur will probably be fine - its the jaw I'm worried about with all the yawning....:)
Sorry, couldn't resist Happy New Year all! |
Additional OEB's?
|
Strange that it is the ribs that are cracking - you would have thought that Airbus would have sorted that after the problems they had with the A330/340 rib 6 cracking.
|
This really is getting lame....... same names same ****e
|
Good post, sittingidly.
|
Intersting post Idly.
Unfortunately l think Boeing is heading down the same "denial" path as Airbus with their introduction of the 787. halas |
The oldest Toulousians are now approaching 40. Still. none has lost its roof or blown its wheel well. |
A few have lost the rudders |
So did Concorde! It's aviation folks.... |
Having flown BOTH Airbus and Boeing, I will happily fly either...warts and all.
|
Any details available???
