Patrick,
Your articles are getting worse each week. You used to be insightful and informative. Now, you are just regurgitating the same crap we can read everywhere else. I'm sure you are a good pilot, but probably not such a good aeronautical engineer, and probably an even worse designer. Stick with what you know, which is why we read. Continue degenerating to the Boeing is better than Airbus crap and we'll stop all together.
