More cracks in scarebus wings

[Rich52]

Whats your source?

Nothing can diminish the fact that the last thing Airbus needs right now, in a weak world economy and a super weak Jumbo Jumbo market, is for cracks to be showing up on A380 wings. Try telling passenger they are non-important cracks in non-critical places.

Read second to last line in my previous post.

99.9% of airline passengers don't read air safety bulletins, and of those who do (like me) most don't care one bit if it's a Boeing or Airbus logo on their next ride. I really don't have a preference. All the Boeing vs Airbus rhetoric is just bigotry, hot air and bulltoejam, on both sides.

If you really care about traveling safely you'll be better served by being choosy about the make of the taxi you take to the airport rather than the aircraft you fly out on. If it ain't Toyota I ain't going! Wait... that doesn't rime. Never mind.

They downplay it by saying it is non critical.... well why did you put that part there then. lol

Something stressed that part to fracture. Saying something on an airliner is not critical just sounds funny.

Are there non-critical parts on your car?.... well why did they put those parts there then?

They are not talking about a cup holder.

No they're talking about a bracket.

PR3D4TOR's right, you are in far more danger driving to the airport than getting on a plane. If it's not a Suzuki GSXR750K, I'll stay away.

...in the wing. If it is not critical why is there enough load on it to crack it?

As a pilot and...

How do you know there's a pilot in a party you are in?

Answer: He'll tell you.

It's worth pointing out that 50% of the Airbus A380's components are US made. Although the wings are built by the British.  Boeing on the other hand uses components made in China, Korea, Japan and Ireland among others.

Such is the world of international aerospace companies. Nothing is truly American or European or wherever anymore.

Subscribed. This is fun.

That's what I'm saying.....it's very silly.

Ok, you go up to 30k feet and start traveling at  500mph carrying nothing and then you tell us how you experienced no stress from the temp/pressure/speed change.
