A380 - Ny sprekkdannelse avdekket i vingene

The anticipated European Aviation Safety Agency directive, which could come within the next few days, marks the second time in recent months that industry and government officials have focused on cracks inside A380 wings. The latest move highlights evolving maintenance programs that are intended to detect and address unexpected structural issues, sometimes during the introduction or early months of new airliner models. 

A spokesman at Airbus, a unit of European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co., confirmed the discovery of new cracks in wing components on its A380 superjumbo jetliners. But he said the fissures, which are separate from the earlier hairline cracks found on several planes, don't affect the two-deck airliner's safety. Sjekk http://tinyurl.com/84yfzu8 Foto: Per Gram
