Airbus A380 makes Wired Vaporware'06

6. Airbus A380


The future of commercial air travel is here -- it just hasn't gotten off the ground yet.

Test flights have been promising, but the complexities involved in making such a huge vehicle safe and sturdy have caused it to be delayed numerous times. The plane was first promised by Airbus in early 2006. Then, blaming wiring problems, the company announced it was pushing the schedule back -- first to late 2006, then early 2007. A third delay, announced this summer, means that the first deliveries of the Airbus A380 are expected in October 2007.

With a track record like that, you can expect the jet to make next year's list, too.

I think it's more about poking fun at the French than anything.

Just to continue the Off-Topic ... it *looks* like it might be some auto-adjustment of the server time which would explain it quite well. In my uneducated opinion, of course
