sad the engines aren't attached to it yet. i'd like to see it standing next to another plane too (A340, 747) so we can actually see how big it is! Wink

Last time I made the reference no one got it either. This time Ric seems to have picked up on it. Score one for Mr. Barker.

Enough with the Titanic already! Grin

This airframe will not fly anyways - it will be tested to destruction.

I think the word your looking for is "flexible". The're probably a lot stonger than a lot of other wings out there.

What makes a wing look breakable exactly? I'm sure airbus have done their sums!
