Airbus gets to grips with wire woes

Regardless of how massive the project, there’s no escaping the devil in the detail, as Airbus knows all too well since it announced the second major delay of the Airbus A380 last month. But until just recently it seemed the company would limit its public explanation of the problem to vague references to changes in wiring configurations and production bottlenecks. To his credit, Airbus executive vice president of programs Tom Williams finally cleared the air over this past weekend, in an apparent nod to the company’s stated recommitment to transparency.
