Really? I thought Airbus was designed by Europeans not by North Americans.

Its for Airbus to transport all their subsidies in*! ;D


I'm sure its just different design philosophies...


*Boeing put their subsidies in the winglets and control columns... ;D

It's a result of bad design and having the parts made in seperate places...Airbus has to design adapter to keep the mis-matched pieces together.

Actually, it's just a fillet. Boeing has them too...they're are just less visible.
