Airbus Delay
28 May, 2007I knew the Airbus delays were caused by problems with the wiring of the aeroplane. But I was surprised by this statement in a BBC story.
Problems with the complex wiring required to allow different airlines to specify their own entertainment options and seating layout have meant the aircraft is being delivered about two years late.
Should the wiring of the entertainment system really be able to delay the whole plane? I can’t imagine it needs any hanger facility and therefore shouldn’t delay the manufacture of more planes (apart from CASH flow).
Couldn’t they have used WIFI? Can’t seat wiring be done Ad-hoc?
