No. It is just that managers “sold” what’s beyond physical limits.
With addition of more incompetent decisions in implementing basically wrong selling point.
- joe_the_user 8y agoNo. It is just that managers “sold” what’s beyond physical limits. Selling what's beyond physical limits is pretty much what I'm talking about. The pressure to do this selling came because Airbus was selling nearly equivalent claims - but with planes that required some retraining. So you had both push and pull. Moreover, the pressure for selling what's beyond physical limits comes as you previously had a steady stream of progress pushing physical limits. Not exactly analogous to the end of Moore's law but it seems like there are some similarities.
