The Airbus A380 crashed to the ground

by RahulKhan

Bad luck continues to Airbus for this 2011 edition of the Paris Air Show!After the European aircraft manufacturer announced Saturday that it reduced the participation of A400M military transporter due to engine failure, the super jumbo A380 has suffered Sunday afternoon accident on the ground.Arriving from Toulouse, MSN4, a plane owned by the test manufacturer, landed at Le Bourget on the track from 21 to 15 h 50.Then rolling on the taxiway parallel to the track Victor to get to the parking, the unit has hung a building with the end of the right wing.

Airbus engineers examine the damage.If they do not relate to a structural part, it is possible to make a repair at night.The plane will then fly to the president Monday at 11 am.Otherwise, it will remain on the ground and it is unlikely that a replacement aircraft is available.Airbus only has the device MSN4.But it could be appealed to a device pending delivery agreement with the client for whom a show at Le Bourget is a beautiful showcase.
