Why is Airbus so stupid? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

That makes no sense at all. In every other aircraft I know of, (which is actually quite a lot, you can ask Kuci, my middle school flight sim addiction was acute), the controls move in tandem for pilot and copilot--this includes helicopters, as well.

They're Europeans. 'Nuff said. All the smart people emigrated to North America long ago.

They're going to be making at least a few "bubba Airbuses" before too long in Alabama. Knowing that Jethro is going to be responsible for the plane not crashing makes me want to never get on an Airbus ever again.

Being Americans means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world.

Yeah, but they were also a bunch of dicks who wanted to order everyone else about how to live their lives.

Reading about this Air France ****, why the **** do Airbus planes have little toy joysticks to control the plane?
Why the **** can the pilot manipulate his stick while the co-pilot doesn't notice?
WHY THE **** DOES IT "AVERAGE" THE INPUTS?

Who ever thought this was a good idea...?? How have they been making planes with this obvious deficiency for decades?

And why the **** does someone with less flight experience outrank someone with more? And how the **** can they have had such a long conversation and not any one of them be aware of what the **** the plane was actually doing.

Also, AFAIK this was out several months ago. Why so late?

Why would you think that airplanes would be incompetently built in Alabama? Alabama actually has a decent aeronautical engineering community thanks to NASA. And if you own a Japanese car, it was probably built either there or in Georgia or Tennessee.

Or Ontario.

Have a fun time flying, pretty sure Boeing's 787s are being built/assembled in SC.

Yeah, the Carolinas are a secondary assembly site for the 787s. And as usual, it's all because of politics. Not the inherent genius of its citizens.

**velichay** · 07-07-2012, 06:48 AM

Boeing Documents saw South Carolina as the worst option for 787 assembly, deemed it high risk and likely to fail. South Carolina

I'm sure the $800M-$1B in tax breaks the state government threw at Boeing also had no bearing on their decision.
