The January issues of the aviation rags are including commentary on the
final report of AA587, the "airplane loses tail" incident.
My question with regard to the A380 and its larger vertical stabilizer is:

Has Airbus revisited their design philosophy and strengthened the
vertical stabilizer attachment fittings"


I remember an early article in Aviation Week after the AA587 crash which
had an Airbus rep essentially saying "we didn't give airlines specific
warnings not to step on the rudder and then reverse it because nobody would
do that, it's too dangerous."
