Sir Radfordin Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_east/3594419.stmThe first wing of the A380 superjumbo came off the Airbus production line in north Wales on Monday morning. (Thats something good for Wales then)But read on down and you get this sentence:"The wings are 38 tonnes each, and are far too heavy to be transported by air. "Which is a bit worrying since one assumes that the wing of an aeroplane will at some point need to be in the air!!The wonders of technology I guess :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lester1 Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 "We need it to be dredged so the wings can go out in the medium term from the facility," explained Brian Fleet, director of manufacturing for Airbus. No worries it's an aquaplane :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
