sad the engines aren't attached to it yet. i'd like to see it standing next to another plane too (A340, 747) so we can actually see how big it is! ;)

Wow that thing is HUGE! I bet the guys at Boeing are sitting around throwing darts at that picture waiting for the 7E7 to roll out

I'm still reminded of the OTHER European produced "biggest and most luxurious" mass transportation project that didn't really get off to a great start.

I'm trying to think what you mean, the QM2 seems to be doing alright...

Last time I made the reference no one got it either. This time Ric seems to have picked up on it. Score one for Mr. Barker.

Enough with the Titanic already! ;D
This airframe will not fly anyways - it will be tested to destruction.
Some more shots for you:

I think the word your looking for is "flexible". The're probably a lot stonger than a lot of other wings out there.

What makes a wing look breakable exactly? I'm sure airbus have done their sums!
