Not sure, but definately some sort of runway incursion

When analytical methods are used to show compliance with the ultimate load strength requirements, it must be shown that—
(1) The effects of deformation are not significant;
(2) The deformations involved are fully accounted for in the analysis; or
(3) The methods and assumptions used are sufficient to cover the effects of these deformations.
What!?? The Shorts is one of the ugliest airplanes ever built. Of course it IS so ugly, it is good looking.LJDRVR said:Nothing ugly about the shorts at all.

EagleRJ said:and the A380 has yet to pass the 90-second passenger evacuation drill, a test some experts think it doesn't have enough doors to pass! No pass- no pax.
What a disaster.

EuroWheenie said:B/ The A380 is already a commercial success, with 159 orders to date. Ugly or not. Check how many orders the 747 had 9 months before entering revenue service.
C/ Why no US airlines have bought them? Well, probably because the only viable candidates don't have any money!
D/ The evac test will be interesting. I have no doubt it will pass, eventually. Airbus will try to do it with max. pax load, which is in the 850ish range. Please bear in mind that no airline are planning to have more than 550 seats, and it will easily evac 550 people in 90 seconds. It's got, what, 18 doors? If the 747 can evac 490 using 5 doors, why shouldn't the A380 do 850 with 9? Oh, and the slides are American in design and manufacture!
