It's full of new applications of new technologies. Teething problems are expected. Even though modern computer modeling takes out many of the variables, obviously it can't get them all.

Although Mr. Bogash's remarks are thoughtful, and give an inside look at that particular aspect of the business, I think it's obvious that technical innovation does still exist in America, and if we work hard enough to get a government that invests in people, and gets out of the pocket of big business and the MIC, we can chart a course and develop even better technologies that are sustainable, profitable (in every sense of the word), and yield steps to, and for the future!

The A380 could be cool if it wasn't inevitably going to be turned into a massive cattle car. Warren DeMontague Jan 2013 #10
