Airbus A380 whistleblower article
I'd certainly be a little wary of the new plane after reading this, but
honestly, this does not surprise me in the least. The aviation industry is concerned with money first, safety a far distant second. http://makeashorterlink.com/?Q121218EB |

As long as we're supporting the theory of conspiracies (rooted in money), consider he's an American working on a European airliner considered by many to be a Boeing-killer.

Quote from : http://www.latimes.com/business/la-f...?track=tottext By Peter Pae, Times Staff Writer: "Airbus, owned by Dutch and British companies, surpassed Boeing in 2003 as the world's largest maker of airliners." After reading the above LA Times quote, I'm a little wary of Mr. Pae's facts. Shouldn't that be "French" rather than "Dutch"? |

No Dutch, unless they own some of the common shares. |

US Supreme Court Chief Justice, the reputed brilliant, John Roberts certainly did while speaking after being sworn in: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/wa...ustice/?page=3 The process we have just completed epitomizes the separation of powers that is enshrined in our Constitution. My nomination was announced some 10 weeks ago here in the White House, the home of the executive branch. This morning, further up Pennsylvania Avenue, it was approved in the Capitol, the home of the executive branch. And, tomorrow, I will go into the Supreme Court building to join my colleagues, the home of the judicial branch, to undertake my duties. |

This type of design may or may not be a problem depending on the fail
safe mode of the valves. Most pressurization valves I know of are are spring loaded shut and require electrical and/or pneumatic power to be opened.

No Dutch, unless they own some of the common shares. A pathetic mistake by a journalist. The Airbus majority shareholder company EADS NV has a Dutch addess viz European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company EADS N.V. Le Carré · Beechavenue 130-132 · 1119 PR Schiphol Rijk · The Netherlands. Airbus itself is 80% owned by EADS and 20% by BAE Systems. it took 2 minutes to find that out. |

No possibility of ulterior motive there, right? Except that the pressurization system overall is being done by Hamliton Sundstrand, part of UTC which si quite an American company, and Boeing is apparently interested in using the parts this guy is blowing the whistle on. Plus it's pretty clear this guy is digging himself a very deep hole in terms of his own future. None of which proves that he is right, not a crank, etc, but it does seem to reduce the possibilities. -cwk. |
