Re: Airbus is a bus with wings
Great argument...Originally Posted by TuffStuffMcGruff
Yeah, it is of significant importance that your means of transportation look nice. So much more important than let's say comfort, safety, speed etc. This is why I ride Angelina Jolie to go to work every morning.
Fly the airline that admits that they designed an aircraft based on a model that makes airplanes that break up into pieces in real life? And that they ll add bits and pieces of metal to stop it from happening? You gotta be joking...
'The reason for the fifth delay is that the actual 787 did not behave the way the model predicted.
Specifically, Boeing found that portions of the airframe -- those where the top of the wings join the fuselage -- experienced greater strain than computer models had predicted. '
Indeed Airbus is a bus with wings, which is what an airplane is supposed to be.
Boeing is a Dodge with wings...not much different that the struggling US automakers and even more heavily subsidized.
However at the end of the day it is a matter of safety. Safety is mostly a matter of selecting a responsible airline.
