RE: A-340 pics

Thanks Kabir! The slide the guy showed us wasn’t exactly the most clear thing in the world, so I just wanted to see exactly what they did!

This problem was found 4 months into the test phase. For all civil aircraft, it is expected that the aircraft will go into production for commercial use 9 months after the first flight. This random flutter problem gave Airbus quite a fright when it was discovered because they effectively only had 5 months to cure it!!
