AIR FRANCE 447: New details suggest the Airbus design contributed to the crash.

Featured Replies

AF were known as AC in the postwar period due to being "somewhat" accident prone (they lost a number of a/c) and their pilots had a reputation of flying as if they were fighter pilots!

 

And of course, you are going to provide the statistics to back up this claim.

Or are you just "somehow" refering to heasay, bar talk and other such forms of scientific evidence ?

Thank you in advance,

Bruno

 

PS : As I am writing this post, I am listening to the BEA press conference about the release of their final report. If you have another funny comment - or logo - to share with us, I think I'll read it on another day...

Well, either you take responsibility for what you write or you don't. For me, it's a matter of self-respect, but you are maybe of a different opinion.

 

So if you are just happy with your smart answer, so be it. Enjoy !

Phenomenal in-depth article in Vanity Fair on the subject of this catastrophe written by no other than

William Langewiesche. The author does take a stab (briefly) at question to what degree Airbus design contributed to this accident.

If you thought you already knew everything about this accident you will be surprised. Rather long but highly recommended reading:
