Chron.com Airbus: Test Won't Delay A380 Delivery: "The A380 wing had ruptured sooner than expected during ground testing in Toulouse on Tuesday, reaching only 1.45 times its limit load before breaking _ 3.3 percent short of target. The wing had been bent upward by 24.3 feet at the tip.
Leahy said there should not be any major modifications to the design of the plane.
'We have enough data from that test to know what needs to be done,' he said. 'This should have no impact on the delivery of the aircraft.'"
