Hardly

Hardly a "don't tell anyone, they won't notice scenario", some of you may have seen this last week, but it appears what happened is that Airbus engineers were engine testing an A340 600 aircraft, prior to delivery to Etihad, who like many other carriers are desperate for the aircraft, when it appears the aircraft started moving and it hurled into the sound barrier, breaking the nose off the aircraft. Apparently the aircraft is write off and it appears that Airbus does not have any 430 600's in production and are not making any more, so leaving them and Etihad with bit of a dilemma.

Ever done something really stupid........????

We all have bad days at work, but the worker at the Airbus Toulouse factory responsible for this disaster [pictured right] must must have thought this was the worst day in their lives.

Delta Airlines Sucks

Spear

There is no way the airlines can continue to loft that much metal across the skies at the rate of oil depletion we are witnessing. The only way to keep air travel viable is to lessen the fuel required, and the only way to do that is with airships, or dirigibles. They are slower, but use far less energy to carry a greater load.
There are a few other benefits, including greater safety as they don’t drop from the sky when power is lost. Passenger areas can be more accommodating than a cramped jet, and you won’t get much of a bang out of crashing one into a building, or anything else for that matter

A350 XWB Cabin

Airbus has designed the A350 XWB with a cabin cross-section of 220 inches from window-adjacent armrest to armrest, allowing airlines to install wider seats than in today's widebody jets and yet still provide wide access aisles. The A350 XWB will also have many precise temperature-control zones, draft-free air circulation, more humid cabin air than today's jets, and a typical cabin altitude of 6,000 feet or less during cruise flight.
