Another Blow to Airbus
Bug Dout writes:
William Langewiesche, son of Wolfgang (Stick and Rudder) and a very
capable pilot and writer, makes the case that the Airbus design had as
much to do with the "Miracle on the Hudson" outcome as the pilots.
The pilots were everything, the Airbus was nothing. The only good thing about
the Airbus in that accident was that at least the computers didn't get in the
way.
Quite likely that the Airbus design has prevented more accidents than it may
have caused.
Pure speculation. Aircraft don't prevent accidents ... pilots do.
