Airbus A380 Inspections: Wings or Die By Wire Computers?


Airbus to inspect all A380 superjumbos for wing cracks


"Aircraft maker Airbus has been ordered to check all A380 superjumbo planes currently in service after cracks were found in wing components. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has ordered all 68 Airbus A380 superjumbo planes currently in operation to be checked."


Some chatter on the web suggests that the wing cracks are a cover to being aircraft in to have fly-by-wire computer problems looked into.


This is the second Airbus inspection alert for a possibly bogus reason since Die By Wire was published. Are they taking this seriously?
